Find a Dog Trainer in Richmond

Highly recommend! Very knowledgeable and professional.

I love this place, my dog loves coming down and playing with the other dogs. He loves seeing the staff and doesnt like to leave. They are the best

When I first met Caren Pressley years ago she had 4 dogs and 2 cats. I have watched her lovingly take care of animals and treat them with the utmost care since that time, including all her friends and neighbors pets. Caren received her qualification as a Veterinary Assistant (with highest honors) and recently received her certification in Pet CPR and First Aid. Dogs love her! I recommend The Collar Club of Virginia!

JP & Sit Means Sit RVA did an amazing job with our dog Remington! Our dog is 18 months old and a rescue that we adopted in early Feb. 2018. Remington had a couple homes before we took him in and for various reasons they did not end up being his forever home. Remington loves life! He is full of energy, needs lots of exercise and has a big loving heart, but he had very few manners. He was difficult to control on a leash, enjoyed counter surfing at home and was overall just terrible at listening. Despite being house trained, his energy and anxiety would lead to more accidents at home than we expected (almost daily). My wife is not a dog person, and she was concerned that maybe Remington wasn't a good fit for us because of his wild personality.We put Remington into the 20 day Board & Train program with Sit Means Sit RVA and JP turned him around! He is now such an obedient and well behaved dog that my wife actually likes to show him off to friends and family. He makes us very proud and impresses everyone he meets with his obedience. My wife specifically told me "Remington is much easier to love now!" and he makes an almost daily appearance on her Instagram account with his adorable antics or with showing off his "place" skills. He still has his love of life, his great energy and his big loving heart. He loves to play and LOVES to be chased, but now he has manners. He walks beside us on walks, doesn't pull on the leash, has stopped counter surfing and comes to us when he is called. He honestly just listens to us now. He is obedient to the point that I can let him off leash in an open park to run to his heart's content and know that he will come to me when I call his name, even if there are people or other dogs around. I feel he is more confident living with us now (after having been adopted a couple times before) and much less anxious. As a result, the accidents inside our home have stopped.I can't say enough good things about Sit Means Sit RVA. This training brought us closer to our dog, who will now bring us tremendous joy for years to come. JP is great to work with, he is a patient dog trainer and one that gets results. We are looking forward to the weekly group classes over the summer. I highly, highly recommend Sit Means Sit RVA!
