Going through training with Sit Means Sit was genuinely life changing for my dog and I. She was highly reactive and anxious when we first adopted her. We began our training with the Sit Means Sit location in Cleveland, OH and we’re welcomed to join the Sit Means Sit family here in Wilmington by Shawn. My dog absolutely adores him and loves attending his weekly group classes. They are engaging and Shawn does a wonderful job walking us through how to do the activities. It’s taken time and consistency, but we now have a lovely, friendly, and confident pup thank to Sit Means Sit. It was worth every penny and we will certainly be taking our next dog through Sit Means Sit training with Shawn. We are customers for life!

Our lab/retriever mix Phoebe was notorious for counter surfing and had no real boundaries. We finally got fed up and Sit Means Sit really turned it all around for us! Shawn is super knowledgeable and customized all the training to meet Phoebe’s needs. We’ve seen such a vast improvement in only 3 weeks of training and we have months more group classes to go! We’re so glad we went with Sit Means Sit Wilmington!!! Worth every penny 👏🏼

I am so pleased and impressed with Sit Means Sit in general. My Aussie puppy did a three week board-and-train since my work schedule limited my ability to go to group classes. They were very understanding and did an excellent job of explaining every aspect of their training methods, their e-collar, and were very open to questions. I met with a number of different trainers and every single one was very nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. The difference in my puppy is incredible. She listens (the collar really helps), she doesn’t bite me as I walk by, and she doesn’t bark for attention. For the go-home lessons, the trainers I met with were very patient with me as I learned how to work with her, explained the e-collar and its use in detail, and gave me pointers on how to work with specific challenges I was having. Excellent service, very pleased with the results, money well spent. Sit Means Sit is my go-to for dog training because of their quality work and friendly staff.

We have a 85lb. Lab that is extremely sweet but stubborn, a puller, and at times reactive towards other dogs. Us and our dog needed a brush-up on basic commands, working with his reactivity, and leash control.

Shawn truly is a dog whisperer! Once watching Shawn work with Glen (our dog) we realized maybe Glen wasn’t so badly behaved and it was us that needed more training. Shawn would train and show us how to do sit, place, and come with Glen and then we each would take a turn learning how to do it with him and how to control the leash. At the end Shawn even worked with Glen around another dog in close proximity and we’ve never seen Glen respond so well. Overall we are so grateful for Shawn and his true gift of working with dogs.

Shawn is amazing! He went above and beyond what we expected. Our fur baby is very independent and he taught us how to set boundaries. Not only did he answer all of our questions and guide us to training our dog properly, but we achieved everything in 2 weekends. I highly recommend him to anyone with a dog even if you are questioning whether or not your family would benefit from the training!
