Darcy graduated!!!! 🎉🥳 Our sweet, timid 1 year old adopted golden Pyrenees is a completely new dog after just 5 full days of boarding/training with Christine! We got her back before Thanksgiving with family and it was a hectic one with kids running around everywhere, jumping around to different houses and not only did she keep her commands, but we were so surprised with the difference in her confidence! She was so scared of a leash, even the sound of the drawer where we kept them made her run off and she would not come to you after. If we ever got her on one it was from carrying her to the car and putting the leash on her while she was in the backseat. We never imagined her being able to do “tricks” Christine taught her (with how much work we thought she needed) but not only did she learn to place, stay, come, sit-she is calmer and less skiddish!! Our first big walk with her was at the Colonial Tree Lighting ceremony and she made it out of the house, down to the park and back effortlessly-like there was never an issue at all! Can’t thank Christine enough and the Sit Means Sit team for the miracle they worked!! Very nice, great customer service and the LOVE they have for your animals 🥹🙏❤️🤗 an investment for sure, but worth every penny!!

Christine was amazing with our australian shepherd! We had 3 days of training and he is still doing well! They were very attentive to our needs/wants and explained everything perfectly.
