Their Stories

What Our Clients Say

SIT Service Dogs is great for service dogs. I received a Seizure Response dog named Loki, and I could not be happier. The dogs are truly trained to a professional level. When you go out into public, you will realize extremely quickly why it's so important to have the best-behaved dog, and how much easier that will make your life.
