Jack is a large 5 year old rescue dog that had developed some behaviors that were very alarming. There were times when he would lunge and bark at sidewalk passerbys (especially bikers) and noisy vehicles on the roadway. There was also one dog in the neighborhood that he would aggressively react to. He was uncontrollable at these times. Since we walk several times a day in the neighbored, this was unacceptable. I looked at several dog training and trainer companies offered on the internet and decided Sit Means Sit looked like the best fit.
I contacted Audra and she arranged an interview and assessed Jack for training. She diagnosed him as a reactive dog and prescribed a training program for him. I have to admit, the price made me question if it made sense.
We have now finished 5 individual and three group sessions with Erica. She is great with dogs, but also with people too. I am completely satisfied that this was (and still is) the best training program for Jack and me. We have conquered most of his anxieties and I am confident I can control and calm him on our walks.

We have been going to sit means sit for over a year and our once reactive dog is much more manageable and less reactive. We continue to go to the weekly group classes and continue to make progress thanks to their guidance and help.

We are so impressed and grateful for what Audra, Erica and team have accomplished over the last six or so weeks with our dog. She had a lot of anxiety and energy. She barked uncontrollably at any dog who would walk past our house. She got loose many times and ran until she was exhausted. Last fall she got out in the evening and was hit by a car. We decided we had to do something with her and heard about SitMeansSit. She is now so obedient and doesn’t bark at dogs. The knowledge they have shown and their methods have completely changed our dogs behavior and we are forever grateful to this team. We couldn’t recommend them more highly. It has been an investment that has been a great success story!

We set up to leave our Shepherd mix for the day and then come back in the afternoon for owner training. It is amazing how much they have taught her after two lessons. I highly recommend Sit Means Sit of DeWitt

Every now and then you meet someone who is truly living their passion. Audra is that person and it comes across in everything she does. She was invaluable in helping us with our new puppy. The facility is loving, sparkling clean, and beautifully maintained. I would highly recommend her!

I’ll admit, I was nervous to try this training because of the cost and the use of the e-collar. But after reading reviews, meeting Audra, and hearing about what was possible with our puppy, I decided to try it. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my pup and my family. She was about 7 months old and a typical, high energy Aussiedoodle. With Erica (the primary trainer) she learned to listen, stay in place, and heel among other things. Walking her significantly changed and was much easier even when not in heel. The pulling has ceased and it is GREAT! I can finally take her to places like Michigan beach towns, markets, and festivals. My favorite command is place. We can now have company over without a ball of fur jumping up on them and scratching their legs. I continue to be amazed with the progress she’s made and will remain dedicated to her training. If you’re willing to put in the work (repetitions), and dedicate the time up front, then Audra and Erica have the knowledge and experience to get you and your pup on track.I’ve also gotta add that my pup chewed up her remote that goes with the collar and it was so easy to get a replacement mailed to me FREE OF CHARGE!Unfortunately we are relocating and will miss Erica and the other dogs and owners we got to know during our Saturday classes. But we loved the training so much that we will continue with the company our new city and also have our new pup trained there.Thanks for everything, Audra and Erica. You’ve improved the quality of our family life.

Sit Means Sit has brought peace to our family. We have a 110lb bernedoodle that didn't realize his size. Our fear was that his would injury someone with his inability to control his excitement due to his size. The first week, Sit Means Sit, taught my dog manners and completely changed our lives forever! Hands down worth every penny and would recommend to anyone to use Sit Means Sit for their dog training needs.

Never did I ever imagine this training course would be as effective as it is. It has saved our sanity! I never realized all of the bad behavior that I was actually rewarding and reinforcing. You have to put in the work, but I can tell you first hand that it pays off! Worth every penny. Thank you Audra and your team! We look forward to working more with you this summer.

After trying several other methods of training for our reactive ACD, this method has worked the best. Audra and Erica are fantastic and we are very happy with the results we are seeing. Highly recommended.
