We have been brining our 1 year old Mini Schnauzer, Bernie to Sit Means Sit and Jason for just over a month. He goes everyday for doggy day care and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Bernie used to come with us to our office, but a move made it impossible and we searched everywhere to try and find just the perfect solution! Enter Sit Means Sit. Jason treats Bernie just like his own, and Bernie is actually excited to go each and everyday, returning home tired from his day of play. No more feeling guilty for me because I know he is well cared for and having a blast with his new doggie friends!! I would recommend Jason and Sit Means Sit to all my friends!

Jason – I hope this finds you and your family doing well? We have had a great year and fall with Shelby! She is almost flawless in the field hunting. She is also a great family dog with our grand kids, so much fun this summer on Beaver Island. Thanks so much for your help. We spent a lot of money on this dog but I never regret the money we spent working with you!
