Aaron came out to my workplace and provided an in person lesson at no charge. We now go to group class several time a month to reinforce his skills. I have boarded Finn at the facility as well. He was well taken care of and the entire staff there followed all my instructions to the letter. This is a great Sit Means Sit location and I would recommend it to anyone looking for dog training !

When I began searching for a trainer for our 13-month-oldhusky, Zokke, I was unsure about what type…read moreof training would be best. It soon became clear that Zokke could detect my medical condition, but she still needed advanced obedience training to behave calmly, respectfully, and attentively in public spaces. Although we considered many choices, we required a person to be open to collaborating with a Husky who demonstrated abilities as a medical service dog. Now huskies are notoriously difficult to train, even for basic obedience,making them a challenge as medical service dogs. When I told other trainers about our Zokke, many advised against service dog training. After my search, I found Aaron at Sit Means Sit. He welcomed collaboration from the start and proved to be a skilled trainer who understands different dog breeds and their unique behaviors, offering patient guidance tailored to each dog. Aaron's training approach encompasses not only obedience instruction for dogs but also emphasizes educating his clients about their vital role in the process. Aaron is committed to the owner and dog become a team. Aaron helped me see that I needed training just as much as Zokke. This collaborative partnership is fundamental to achieving successful outcomes for both Zokke and I. Upon our first meeting Aaron discussed with me the challenges Zokke was facing and my goals for both of us. That initial challenge involved training Zokke to walk calmly on a leash without undue pulling. It was necessary to modify the innate behavior developed from sled pulling into a more controlled walking style. When one style of training did not work, Aaron guided me to another and another technique until Zokke understood what it was to walk calmly by my side, on and off leach. For instance, he said and I quote just drop the leach, rather than holding it. Walla, that worked, she walked calmly beside me, no pulling. It is all about communication with your dog. With Aaron's guidance, she and I both achieved our goal, and it felt incredibly rewarding when she understood. She also needed to greet adults and children with a calm demeanor, fully aware that one day she would often be in restaurants, stores, motels, hospitals, and faced with challenges like ignoring distractions or other animals she might meet. During the past two years, Aaron has worked with Zokke, and together we have formed a formidable team. We have brought Zokke into restaurants, where her training has been so effective that people frequently remark, "I didn't even realize she was here," which is a wonderful compliment to her skills. Aaron frequently says to Zokke, "You're rocking it today." If Zokke faces a challenge, Aaron comes to help wherever it occurs—our home, neighborhood, or elsewhere. He always checks in on Zokke, and after I update him, we arrange to address the issue together. During group training sessions, Aaron engages individually with each client to discuss their progress, their dog's behavior,and any challenges they are facing. He evaluates the effectiveness of current strategies and identifies areas for improvement. Group sessions provide an opportunity for clients to connect with one another, share experiences, and offer mutual support, as many of us have encountered similar situations. Dogs also benefit from these interactions by observing and learning from each other and often form positive associations or friendships. Additionally, dedicated social time is integrated for the dogs to practice and develop appropriate manners when interacting with peers. Eighteen months ago, during a family emergency, I asked Aaron to board Zokke as she was familiar with Aaron and felt comfortable throughout her stay. He sent me updated videos of her, wow, which were unexpected. This was amazing, gave me peace of mind and I see she was happy too. I will forever be indebted to Arron for coming alongside me when I truly need support. One of the unbelievable aspects of “Sit Means Sit,” is that the training is for life! Yes, call, text, one-on-one sessions, and group. Do you need to board your dog? Yes, Aaron will also board your dog in a loving and welcoming environment. Do you need to board and train, yes that is available too, where your dog gets one-one training. I highly recommend Aaron and Sit-Means-Sit for their effective training, honest communication, and success with challenging animals. Their approach goes beyond obedience, helping you build a meaningful relationship with your dog. They are loyal and caring, and with Aaron's help, we built a strong relationship together. Going with Sit Means Sit was the best decision I made for both Zokke and myself.

We chose to train our new dog Daisy that we adopted from the SPCA with the 8 basic & advanced…read morelessons and it was worth every penny! Our trainer, Monica, was excellent with Daisy and what I loved most about her was that she would explain to us how she was training our dog and also why she would do something a certain way. A lot of times she would comment about how this reinforces some sort of behavior or would boost Daisy's confidence, etc. At one point of our training Daisy didn't take well to the previous lesson (down lesson) and Daisy wasn't receptive to the next training session and was extremely nervous and jittery. Monica picked up on this right away and instead of just charging through, took a step back to assess the situation and told us that this lesson would be free since Daisy wasn't herself and even considered bringing another trainer in. We were extremely appreciative of this gesture and found it to be very considerate and professional. We were a little nervous starting out the training because Daisy is an extremely sensitive and submissive dog, but at the end of the training (which was today) her confidence levels are much higher and she seems to be a much happier dog!!! Daisy is far from perfect but her discipline and manners are getting better every day and we love seeing her progress and growth. We highly recommend Off Leash K9 Training. We did a ton of research and even met with other companies but we could not have been happier with our choice.

Mallory has so much knowledge on dog behavior, it was so fun to learn from her and within one week of implementing her strategies we saw a drastic change for the better in our little rescue dog. We went from thinking that we were going to have to give our dog back to the rescue place to now having this adorable, fun, loving dog who brings us laughter every day.

We initially thought we'd foster her for adoption due to her dog aggression issues. After working with Travis, we decided togive Rosie a forever home ourselves. We brought Travis in to privately train her so she didn't have to deal with the stress of a group setting and because we wanted a tailored training program. With Lone Star Dog Training, we received an excellent job. Travis educated us about how training is important and what results he felt we could see. Over the course of 4 months, Rosie went from being aggressive toward our other dogs to feeling safe and comfortable with them. She's even adopted our 12 year old border terrier as her sister. Rosie has progressed from a frightened stray who did not wag her tail or understand how to take affection, to bounding and leaping with joy when she sees her people. She now seeks out our affections and looks forward to spending time with us. If not for Lone Star Dog Training, we would not have decided to keep her. It showed us what a wonderful, fun and loving dog Rosie is. Thank you, Travis , for your dedication and patience with us.
