The community that Nicole and Sit Means Sit have created is something special. My dog Mousse needed training and this was 100% the best choice we could have made. We return every few weeks to the group classes which has been so impactful for his long term training. My daughter has been able to learn alongside me as well!

We couldn’t be happier with our training experience at Sit Means Sit! Together with our Miniature Poodle ‘Elinor’ we have worked with Anthony, Nicole, Ed and Deb, and our experience with each has been top notch! We came to training with a very energetic poodle, becoming more and more reactive, horrible to distraction in the car, and so, so fast as to make getting in and out of the car a danger to her safety. But all that is in the past (in only 2 months!). I knew we were in the right place when I came to our training time together at the end of Elinor’s first day of day training. She loved and so obviously trusted her trainers, and we were amazed at the transformation. Since that first day we have accomplished all our initial goals, and continue to train in Nicole’s awesome group classes every week, fine tuning and going even further with Elinor’s obedience than we imagined. Along the way all the trainers have been available to us by phone and text for any questions that we have; the support received at Sit Means Sit is amazing. We’re looking forward to continuing our training over these winter months in Nicole’s Saturday morning group classes, and highly recommend Sit Means Sit for enhancing life with our beloved dogs!

Nicole was amazing and did a private refresher session with my wife, our newborn, our golden retriever, and myself to ensure our dog is well behaved with our newborn son! Would highly recommend Sit Means Sit and Nicole to anyone!

Calling all Basenji (or other stubborn breeds)! We enrolled our 1yr old basenji into the board and train program with hopes of a bit more control, especially during walks. Now, one month later, after just coming back from our first group class we know we did the right thing and the investment in SMS was well worth it ?. Moyo still has a lot more practice, but the methodology seems to work. And he really doesn’t seem hurt or angry about the e collar. Still a happy pup! But less likely to jump or lunge at bicycles or joggers. Thanks Sit Means Sit! Thanks Nicole!! Looking forward to our next group class.

Sit Means Sit (and especially trainer Nicole) have been amazing. We constantly get comments on what a great and well behaved dog Duffy is and it is all due to the training we got here. Thank you Nicole!

Sit Means Sit is amazing! We did the 5 day board and train program with our Raleigh. They truly care about the success of the dogs they train and the group classes are amazing to reenforce the lessons taught during the board. Their methods require the owner to play a vital role in the dog’s success, but the results speak for themselves and I couldn’t recommend them enough.

This is the best place to get your dog training. This is my second dog here and love it even more. We have done the 5 day board and train with both. My first dog is able to walk off leash almost everywhere now and it has only been a year since he went for training. Very professional and helpful. The trainers are very knowledgeable and helpful with any issues you may have. The group lesson have been so helpful. My trainer for both is Nicole and I highly recommend her. She is so patient and ready to help at any time.

Nicole is fabulous! The group classes really helps bring down my dog's reactivity, and the individual classes with the day training program were invaluable. The individual lessons theyre really willing to work with you on whatever your particular dog needs. Great value!

We couldn’t be happier with the training our dog AND our family has received. We signed our Labrador retriever up for the 5-day board and train when she was a puppy. To celebrate her “graduating” training we took her to Lazy Dog restaurant. We received so many compliments on how well behaved she was. We recently took her on her first camping trip. What a relief for our family to know we have a trained dog in a new and exciting environment.
The weekly group classes are amazing. It is a testament to see all the different breeds, dog personalities and owners work in collaboration towards a common goal, in a safe environment.
I have included a few pictures from our trip. Our dog knew she couldn’t leave our trailer without being told to do so, she met other animals without jumping, barking or whining and she stayed on her “place board” at the campsite, only getting up when told to do so.
Sit Means Sit has given us the tools and knowledge to have a well trained dog.To say we recommend Sit Means Sit Denver is an understatement. They truly care about you, your family and dog. They have set the bar in dog training. Thank you!!

Getting around to writing a review, almost 10 years later! But this is coming up again since we adopted a puppy and plan to use Sit Means Sit again. We adopted a giant and wild 2 year old German Shepherd who had been given up twice before we got him, once by a dog trainer. He had so many behavior and attachment issues that we didn’t even know where to begin. He wasn’t food motivated, he couldn’t care less about clickers and his size made him impossible to restrain… He had no foundational training at all. At the time we put him through Anthony’s Board and Train classes in Westminster and I can’t say enough. We weren’t great about attending group classes, but the training really was what changed everything for us.
Franz found his final home with us and through the years, we can still see the training shine through, even without the collar. He is now an old senior boy but he knows exactly what to do when we say come, he walks on a leash like a pro and he is capable of ignoring distractions all these years later (unless it’s the doorbell, that one just never quite sunk in). They brought out the dog we knew he could be and worked through what I imagine was a couple years of trauma and baggage from being tossed between different owners and shelters and having no stability. I can speak from experience, this training is life changing for the dog and human.
We have adopted another dog recently and we plan on putting her through the Sit Means Sit program as well to give her the confidence and foundation she needs to reach her full potential. We have since moved and have to use a different Sit Means Sit franchise, but Westminster/Wheatridge were so great all those years ago and they brought us back to the program now. We highly recommend them for anyone looking for long-term results.

Nicole and Ed are the best!! They are patient and kind and educate owners as well as pets how to effectively and humanely use an e-collar. Now I can go off leash with my 80lb lab and be confident he will listen! I highly recommend Sit Means Sit !!!

We took our one year old Australian Shepherd in for some help with general training and focusing on staying attentive through distraction. Ed, Nicole and Debbie have been great training her (and us) and we are already seeing great progress for our little friend.
