Sit Means Sit Dog Training - Western Chicago

Kerry is absolutely the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. She is honest & cares about you & your pets. I will trust her with my dogs anytime!! I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a quality trainer who understands dogs & their human!

I was so pleased when I came across Sit Means Sit Dog Training on the way home from work. My puppy goes to work everyday with me and while he is good his barking and jumping weren’t good. Kerry definitely heard me when I expressed that I wanted Dunkin to be able to roam the office and be loved welcomingly by everyone and not jump. His leash skills were in need of help. She wasn’t kidding when she said let me train your dog for a week and your coworkers will say what a different dog! She is the dog whisperer for the south suburbs and I highly recommend her. Everyone has commended me for what an amazing puppy Dunkin has turned into. If you’re in need of an amazing trainer who makes you feel welcomed and like an old friend, Kerry is the person for the job!!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Kerry at Sit Means Sit Dog Training. Millie, our high energy, intense Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy was a challenge, without boundaries. Kerry is our dog whisperer. Millie's time with Kerry revealed that Millie can have boundaries and follows our rules without breaking her spirit! Thank you, Kerry!

We can’t say enough good things about Kerry. Our dog Bruce (6 year old Pyrenees mix) has been fearful his whole life, which led to a lot of behavioral issues. For years, we just tried to work around his triggers because we didn’t think true progress was possible. Kerry proved us wrong. Bruce was so reactive he couldn’t tolerate nail trims, baths, or even basic vet visits. He had to be fully sedated just to be examined. Rehoming was never an option for us—dogs like Bruce often don’t get another chance—but we also didn’t know how to help him. Kerry changed everything. With patience, skill, and so much compassion, she helped Bruce learn to wear a muzzle, get his nails trimmed, and even take a bath. All through training. No medication. No sedation. We’re finally seeing a calmer, more confid

When we first brought our puppy, Buddy, home, we thought we had a solid training plan in place. However, it became apparent that we were struggling more than we realized. Buddy started showing aggressive behavior including barking excessively, lunging, and even trying to bite. Our kids couldn’t walk down the stairs without Buddy reacting aggressively, and we felt uneasy having guests over because of his unpredictable behavior. The turning point came when one of our children's friends—who isn’t normally afraid of dogs—refused to get off our kitchen table out of fear that Buddy would bite her. It was clear that we needed professional help. A friend of mine shared about all the amazing things her sweet pup learned with Kerry and I made the call! Kerry explained the board and train program of
