Dave, owner and head trainer at Sit Means Sit in Syracuse, NY, has turned his lifelong passion for dogs into a career. Originally from Central New York, Dave trained with the Sit Means Sit system in Denver with Anthony Bracciante since 2009. After rescuing his chocolate lab, Maddi, and struggling with other training methods, Dave found success with Sit Means Sit. The system transformed Maddi from a timid, fear-aggressive dog into a confident, well-behaved companion. Dave now enjoys outdoor adventures with Maddi and regrets not starting with Sit Means Sit sooner. Since the 2009 demo, Dave and Maddi have thrived together.
