Sit Means Sit Southern Raleigh

Love the team and the quality of training the dogs receive! They provide you with results!

Sit Means Sit was THE best decision for my little girl. She was a hellion and is now a very active therapy dog all thanks to training.

Sit Means Sit was the best decision we ever made for our dogs

Great people and training. They offer a free evaluation and the staff is very professional.

For what you get Sit Means Sit is the most affordable training anywhere around. Their service and support can’t be matched!

Great trainers and always helpful when I have questions. Sit Means Sit provides great results with all types of dogs!

I am a little bias because he is my son but I have seen the results first hand. He and his trainers are experts at what they do and their knowledge. Kudos Sit Means Sit Southern Raleigh!

Our one year old golden retriever did the 15 day training program and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Our private sessions after that with Annie were amazing and yesterday we went for the first time to the group class and had the opportunity to work with Michael. Their training, care and patience for all the dogs they train is incredible. My high energy puppy went from crazy – jumping on people and nipping at us, biting the furniture, etc. to the most lovable pet you can have. She listens to us now and has learned how to be patient and wait for our commands. I highly recommend their training program. It is totally worth every penny. What I also love about it is that we can continue to bring our dog to the group classes for support and reinforcement of everything she was taught. Best training program I have ever seen and experienced. We tried with 3 different trainers before Sit Means Sit – Southern Raleigh and nothing worked. This facility and group of people are simply the best!

We worked with Michael to help train our border collie/beagle mix puppy, Toby. It was amazing to watch the interaction and how easily Toby picked up on the training. And then to see Michael’s own dog perform a few tricks really blew our mind. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone!

Michael is easy to schedule an appointment with, and his results are incredible. He’s a patient trainer and a great teacher – both for dogs and their owners!

Our miniature schnauzer refused to listen while outside. This caused constant stress because she always gravitated to the road. Michael taught her to focus and listen. With a little change in our behavior she now is safe and we are stress free. We owe Sit Means Sit Southern Raleigh a debt of gratitude. Their trainers are patient, kind and trustworthy. 5 stars is not enough!

Michael and his team have been a godsend to our crazy lab puppy! One of the most impressive aspects of their training programs is the fact that they are always there for you, even after the training program is completed! No matter how big or small the training issue, they are aleays there to help guide and teach both you and your dog. Michael and his team really take the time to teach you, your family and your dog. This space isnt long enough to say how wonderful they are.

Michael and the other trainers are extremely knowledgeable, caring, and responsive. They’re very patient with the dogs (and humans) and are happy to deal with any concerns or fears that exist. I couldn’t be happier and my dogs are making wonderful progress because of the work they’ve done with them.

Michael and his team at Sit Means Sit have greatly helped my family understand how to communicate with our dog. We are able to help our dog understand what it is that he should be/or shouldn\\\’t be doing and this helps him be a calmer, less stressed out dog!

Michael and his staff at Sit Means Sit Southern Raleigh are amazing! They give both the dog and owner the time and attention needed to succeed! I started with Sit Means Sit when Bruno (German Shepherd) was about 4 months old. In a year and a half, he has become one of the best trained dogs I\’ve ever seen, from the use of his basic commands in high distraction environments to advanced commands and off leash control. If you want a well trained dog and a super bond with your dog, Sit Means Sit Southern Raleigh is the place for you.

Sit Means Sit is amazing. Michael is an excellent trainer!

You can’t go wrong with this team. They’re fantastic trainers and will be able to help you with whatever needs you may have!

I’ve known Michael since he first discovered Sit Means Sit, bringing his dog in for training. From the very beginning, he was a natural trainer!! I watched his enthusiasm grow as he learned the Sit Means Sit methods and as he attended national training seminars. Not only is he a great trainer, he is a great human being. His understanding, compassion and empathy for others allows him to work with people and animals in a way that is individual to the needs of each person/dog. His upbeat nature infuses self confidence into the people/families that he works with, allowing each to reach their training goals with their pet. In the years that I’ve worked with him as a trainer, I’ve never seen an interaction where his clients have felt anything other than empowered. Michael’s humility and expertise have guided him to hire an amazing staff. Ashley helped my son’s girlfriend with my son’s dog. She, my son’s girlfriend, went from feeling completely unsure, to being happy and excited about group class. She now can take my son’s dog anywhere, on her own, and feel confident doing so. Ben has been working with my foster dog, who has many emotional issues, and he treats her like his own dog. He is SO loving, SO patient, and yet has conveyed to her that he is taking care of everything and she doesn’t have to be in charge. I’ve worked with a number of different trainers, with my various dogs, over the years and currently have three family dogs, plus my foster, enrolled at Sit Means Sit of Southern Raleigh. I can say that, in my experience, you would be hard-pressed to fine more knowledgeable, compassionate trainers in the Triangle. Kudos to Michael and his staff!!!!

These guys are the best!!! Super fast and effective training!

We were desperate to have our rescue boxer be able to mesh with the family, but he was having a very difficult time. We had tried other training through the pet stores, and saw no improvement. After a 5 day board and train, he was a different dog. We still have some growing pains as a family to work out, but with the continuous ongoing training, I know we will get there soon. This was a lifesaver, and was able to keep our new family together!

Sit Means Sit did an amazing job with our lab puppy. They taught her to listen and she loves to work and do what she was trained. She does great out and about around people and other dogs. We always get complements on how well she behaves.

Sit Means Sit is hands down the best place to take your pets. We have two very sweet girls but they fought each other and we couldn\’t bare to see them get hurt anymore. Either something had to change or we were going to have to find one a new home. Michael helped us learn how to control their dominance and teach them that we\’re in charge. Now we have a peaceful home and two happy, well behaved pups. Everywhere we go people ask how our pups are so well behaved and I tell them to call Sit Means Sit Southern Raleigh! Sit Means Sit allowed our family to stay together.

Sit Means Sit taught my dog to control his dog reactivness & to put his trust in me. now we can go on walks and runs where I am in control & it is so much more fun!!! This training has made our lives so much better!!

Michael and his team are phenomenal. Our dogs needed a lot of work, but they were patient, caring and gave us excellent training to get our 2 pups on the right track. Now we’re all calm on walks and in every-day situations. I highly recommend Sit Means Sit. Michael is an excellent teacher and is passionate about what he does!

We had our lab trained here for the maximum time while we were on vacation. They texted me and kept me updated regularly sending pics and giving me progress reports. She was a different puppy when we picked her up! She nailed every command!!! We were so happy with her at home and enjoyed her much, much more. They did an awsome job!!!! Best decision ever!!!!!

Sit Means Sit Southern Raleigh and the entire staff have been more than helpful for our pup. They’re more than just dog trainers, and put in tremendous amounts of time and effort to ensure they’re training us and our (crazy) lab. The board and train, ongoing group classes and continuous support has been great in teaching our dog manners and helping him overcome fears. I would highly recommend Sit Means Sit to any dog owner.

Our little pup, Jenny, is a Fox Terrier and is very active and aware of her surroundings. Unfortunately, her reactions to other dogs and people are not always very positive. SitMeansSit has made a world of difference to Jenny. Michael and Ben have worked very hard with us and Jenny to make a huge difference. They are so friendly, loving and again positive with her training. They are top notch in our mind! Jenny, also, just loves working with them and being in their classes. SitMeansSit is the BEST dog trainers in our book!!!

Sit Means Sit southern Raleigh has changed my fur baby’s life, he pays attention to me and knows what to do. The staff at Sit Means Sit were AMAZING and the owner worked with me on my issues and concerns. Cannot say enough good things.

They do such an AMAZING JOB with all the dogs! They have passion and patience with each individual furry friend .

Best trainer around!

Sit Means Sit and their entire staff are fantastic. They really know and understand how to help you and your dog. They cater their training to your needs and teach you how to implement training into everyday life. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Our dog was extremely anxious and they helped him by the confident happy dog we always knew he could be. We can’t think them enough.

I have heard stories from satisfied customers. I also have seen the tireless effort put in by the employees.

I came to Sit Means Sit after a series of disappointing, discouraging attempts at training other places. My rescue dog Maple is extremely reactive to other dogs and fearful of new people/things; I’ve tried so many strategies to try and address these concerns but nothing worked at all until I started partnering with Michael and Ben at Sit Means Sit! Over the past few months, Maple has steadily made progress – as have I, as a dog owner – and I am encouraged every day that I work with Maple by how we grow and learn together! The staff at Sit Means Sit have helped me develop a better understanding of my dog – and weirdly/surprisingly myself! Michael and Ben genuinely love working with dogs and helping owners; they understand dogs, have good intuition, and are great at building confidence in hesitant owners and unsure dogs. I can’t recommend them enough!

Michael and his team are the bomb!!!

I get to witness daily the success of Sit Means Sit. My Schnauzer was lacking focus. Michael knew how to handle and made our sweet pup a better dog and us better dog parents. I highly recommend Sit Means Sit Southern Raleigh.

We NEVER thought our German Shepard would ever listen to us until we brought him here. In just a short few days he did a complete 360!! It is amazing! Highly recommend !

Sit Means Sit is a great place to bring your dog with any issues. They are very willing to help whether it be issues with anxiety, aggression or just basic obedience. And once you finish a program you have group class for life!

Amazing training and amazing results!

These folks get results….. I have seen the results of their training with two very different types of dogs. The first one was a seemingly vicious dog that seems to now ive to perform his \”tricks\” and please his owner. This dog is not only loving to his owner, but to small children and other dogs as well. The second dog is a small one with a young child in the household.

Best dog trainers around. They really help you understand your dog better and how to have a better relationship. These guys are always just a call away and genuinely care about your dogs well-being, I cannot recommend them enough.
