Best Dog Training in Raleigh

Wow! Highly recommend Born to Lead Training. We only had our 1-year-old dog for a few weeks when we decided to work with Ryan. One week later, now we have the BEST walking dog on the block. We definitely have some behavior corrections that are a work in progress, but it is clear that the methodology is effective, especially with consistency. We cant wait to see how we progress with our pup in the next few weeks.

We were so pleased with our meeting with Ryan! Ryan gave us so much information, practical suggestions, and insight into how we could help our dogs get more manageable...we love them, so. We are still in the early stages of training, but we can tell that consulting with Ryan will result in our enjoying our dogs even more.

From the moment I spoke with Ryan on the phone about my dog's needs as well as mine, he was easy and very pleasant to work with. On our initial call with him, we learned so much about how to interact with our dog and ensure we're providing corrections when needed and rewards when appropriate. We've been working with our dog for the past 10 days since speaking with Ryan and have already noticed an incredible improvement. We're excited to keep it going and to help us and our dog enjoy life to the fullest together.

I recently got a puppy boxer that was very hyper and stubborn. I hesitated at first and was wondering if going to a dog trainer was worth it, and this is one of the best decision I ever took. My puppy now listens to me and is very obedient after only 3 weeks. My trainer was Becca and it was always a pleasure to go to her class. She was always enthusiastic, kind and you can actually see that she loves dogs and her job. Her positive attitude is awesome and very contagious. The people at sit means sit also take great care of the dogs that they train or keep in boarding. They are very human, patient and kind toward the animals, I could not be happier with my experience. I highly recommend it, both you and your dog will come out with a lot of knowledge and a better bond.

I can’t praise Sit Means Sit enough for the information and guidance they have provided in training my doggo Divot. I did the individual lessons and three months of group classes. Before training my dog could not tolerate the sight of another unknown dog, was a really hard leash puller, and had no recall. In fact, lesson 3 with Alex (who is super awesome by the way) was the first time I ever saw my dog not react to bypassing an unknown dog. We recently just moved up to intermediate group classes, and now Divot can focus and handle being in a room with over 20 dogs! My quality of life has improved and I’m able to take him hiking, camping, for a stroll, loose leash walks, meet new dogs, and more. I get compliments all the time about how calm and well behaved he is… little did they know how rough it was outside before training! Dog training is not easy. You get what you put into it. I would highly recommend SMS to anyone with a stubborn dog with reactivity issues.

We took our pandemic puppy, a very difficult Lakeland Terrier, to SMS and worked with Nadya there. She was great and helped me and our pup learn how to improve his behavior. SMS really helped him and he’s now a much better listener and obedient. Couldn’t be happier with my experience.

What a gem of a find! My boy, Brogan, was fine as a youngster, but along came COVID & I found myself with a 3 y.o. extremely reactive dog. I worked with him on my own, but without success. Enter TEAMWORKS! I enrolled in a leash reactive class based on Mike Wallace's recommendation after meeting Brogan (age 4 by this time). Mike's relaxed & knowledgeable guidance has been so helpful! He always took Brogan where he was & offered instruction fitting to improving & moving forward with our issues. We have a way to go, but I feel I have the tools to help my dog be a better pup. When Brogan is more comfortable around other dogs, I plan to enroll in other classes at Teamworks. Thank you, Mike, for getting us onto the right road (& introducing Brogan to one of his new favorite toys!).

Rosie and I attended the good canine citizen class. The trainers do a great job of coaching dog owners through the basics; I'm looking forward to seeing their work in more advanced courses like agility and scent training! They use positive reinforcement, which means that they show you how to encourage good behavior and instruct your dog firmly without hitting/shouting/punishing. Classes were socially distanced and all participants wore masks at all times. When possible, several activities were done outdoors to allow us to spread out (when the sun began to go down earlier this became difficult, so it may be a good idea to choose a class held earlier in the day).

Good to know that Jacquie is a part of this team ! Good work keep it up.Quality service from quality people is my experience at Teamworks.
