Sit Means Sit offers professional dog training in Orlando, Winter Garden, and the surrounding central Florida areas
Welcome to Sit Means Sit Orlando! We are happy to offer our trusted services and years of experience in the dog obedience training field. We specialize in walking your canine companion through obedience courses, behavior modification as necessary, and off-leash walking as the baseline. We believe that these things shouldn’t be considered special or out of reach. Every dog can learn to be confident, calm, and obedient, regardless of age, breed, size, or history.
Once you’ve mastered all the jumping, barking, and leash pulling, you and your dog can move on to advanced obedience training programs. Thanks to our state-of-the-art training facilities and expert trainers, your dog will be ready to take on anything, from the smallest squirrel to the most intense service dog training program.
Eliminate limits for your furry friend by taking them on a training journey. It all begins with a free consultation where a local Orlando dog trainer will assess your dog’s needs, discuss your goals, and show you that, with time, consistency, and the right training methods, it’s all possible.
We offer a wide range of programs so that you can find the best fit for you, your dog, your goals, and your schedule. From basic potty training to adult dogs look for advanced expertise, we are here to help.
It’s very common for pet parents to struggle with some kind of behavioral issue at some point in their dog-owning life. It could be jumping, pulling, excessive barking, or something more serious, such as aggression or separation anxiety. The truth is, whatever you’re dealing with, our professional team at Sit Means Sit can and will deliver lasting results.
If you let us teach you and your dog, you will never have to stress about taking your dog on a walk ever again, and you will have the peace of mind knowing that your well-behaved best friend is reaching their full potential. Here’s what makes us different:
Customized Training Plans – Since every dog is different, so must the training approaches be. We have scientifically proven methods, but they’re tailored to your dog’s behavior, age, breed, goals, and timeline.
Certified, Professional Trainers – Our certified, professional trainers will each bring their unique experiences, extensive training, and love for dogs to the table and take your furry friend beyond basic obedience and into greatness.
Fast, Visible Results – It doesn’t take more than a few sessions for most of our clients to see a noticeable improvement. It’s our structure and our positive approach to consistency that helps your dog learn confidence and impulse control.
Ongoing Support That Lasts – Support doesn’t end when the class is over. We’re here for you, providing you with the long-term guidance to maintain epic results for as long as you need them (which is always).
Loving dogs is not enough for us. We approach training with passion and knowledge, and with a full understanding that every dog can reach great heights.
We believe that your dog is happiest when they’re confident, calm, and understand their boundaries. This is why we’ve chosen methods that include positive reinforcement, structure, and consistency to reinforce longevity and trust. A well-trained dog is a happy dog, and we’ve seen proof of that too many times to believe anything else.
Whether you just got a new puppy or you’re tackling something intense like fear, we have the resources and skills to create a learning environment where progress is real and goals are attainable.
SMS Orlando began with one dog’s inspiring journey. Kilo struggled with aggression. Kilo’s parents, Matt and Jamie Smith, were determined to overcome this obstacle. Their journey was hard, and involved a lot of frustration. Eventually, they found their way into the Sit Means Sit training system, and it changed everything for the better.
Kilo inspired Matt and Jamie to open their own Sit Means Sit in Orlando in 2011 so that other dogs could find Kilo’s freedom, and other families could see what their dogs were capable of. The Smiths have trained over 10,000 dogs, creating what is affectionately known as the KiloNation. This is a place where dogs and owners can come together and build something incredible.
Our heart extends all the way back to the very beginning of SMS Orlando. We’re here to change lives and inspire others to do the same. If Kilo could do it, so can your dog.

If you’re hesitant about this company, take the leap!!! I was so scared to leave my fur baby for training, but when I got him back, he was so well behaved and properly trained. They care about your pups and will send you pictures throughout the stay. My golden retriever was decently trained but wasn’t where we wanted him to be. We are so happy we made the decision to go with Sit Means Sit.
Sit Means Sit Orlando staff was so welcoming and knowledgeable! They all listened to our concerns and were able to teach Toast all the tools he needs to be a confident weiner dog; excited to start group glasses soon!
To make a long, emotional story short, my dog’s and my life has been saved by Sit Means Sit. I have a very reactive dog toward people and other dogs and I’m sure he would have been put down by now if it were not for this training program and its people. I am now able to do things I never thought were possible. I can take my dog to bars, parks and have people in my home. I can’t thank Sit Means Sit enough. ♥️
We took our hound mix, Betty, to Sit Means Sit. First, we did the board and train, and now we go back for lessons. The whole experience has been phenomenal. The communication has always been very prompt and professional. The trainers are top notch. They LOVE the dogs they train like they love their own dogs. They get to know the owners and dogs and it just feels very personalized and welcoming. My dog went from a good hearted wild woman to this amazing dog who lets my 4 year old walk her, calmly sits at restaurants, can be trusted off her leash, and stays out of the kitchen while we eat dinner. It’s one of the best investments I’ve made.
I could not be happier with the training that has been provided thus far. I opted in for the ultimate package which included 3 one on one classes followed by 6 months of group classes. I also did 4 weeks of puppy training to learn some fundamentals. My dog is now 26 weeks and just graduated from the one on one classes and is ready to begin group training. Our trainer Michelle is absolutely amazingly. She makes learning fun for both me and my pup she also promptly calls me back when I have questions or concerns in between classes. I know my pup is going to be a well trained and obedient dog when he’s grown thanks to Michelle and the trainers here. If you’re on the fence, I HIGHLY recommend you take the leap. Having a well behaved dog is PRICELESS!
Sit Means Sit is a wonderful Dog Training Program. As we are currently enrolled in classes, I have really enjoyed learning so many ways of training my dog. Brian Pepper, Sit Means Sit’s Training Consultant, helped us find the right program for our puppy Deku. We are expecting a baby soon and he took that into consideration to put us in the right program. He also made us feel very comfortable with the methods of training. The private lessons with Jillian were a great avenue to get us started with training our good boy! After those lessons and moving on to the group lessons, they have been so engaging and we love it! Thank you Sit Means Sit Team for an excellent experience! We are excited to continue our training!
My husband and I have been working with Sit means Sit for a while now with our very energetic Australian Shepard mix puppy and we have seen a large difference. The fact that we are able to call in with any problems and they get back to us within a few moments is spectacular!
I’m so amazed with the outcome of this facility. They are so hands on. So patient, so ready to answer your questions and help you through. From payments to training to buying items. They are Great! I was so nervous to bring my 4 year old energetic boxer to them, alot of places like to start young. However sit means sit worked with us and my fur baby and I’m just so excited to be able to take my dog outside and for walk without him going crazy. So nice to have guest come over and him not run all over them. So happy with this purchase.
In the short time we’ve been coming to Sit Means Sit, our golden girl Paisley has learned so much and improved her behavior leaps and bounds. She was not good on a leash and had terrible anxiety whenever in a new place, heard a loud noise, or was approached by anyone she did not know. We can now now take her for a walk without getting dragged around and into stores and social gatherings without her having panic attacks! One of our goals is to have her participate in our wedding as our flower girl and based on the improvements we’ve seen in just 3 visits I believe we will be able to accomplish this and much more!
I’m a first time dog owner and I wanted to make sure I gave him the best dog training available. After some research I found sit means sit and I am so glad I chose them! I have a 7 month old dog Argentino and they can be a bit tough to handle if not trained property. My puppy picked up the training very fast and is getting better the more we train him. It’s a life time investment!!!
