Valarie was wonderful to work with! I was really struggling with my dog’s behaviors from his hypervigilance and anxiety when I reached out to Sits n’ Wiggles. Valarie helped us better understand how his mind works and gave us so many great tools for both training him and enriching his life. I am truly grateful for her help with Squash!

We had an amazing experience. Valarie was incredibly caring and took the time to really understand our needs and work with us to ensure we were giving our anxious pup the tools and support he needs. Highly recommend.

We reached out for help with our new rescue puppy, who had been a stray and came with some challenging behaviors as she adjusted to our home. Valerie was incredible to work with. She helped us address nipping, improve our dog’s responses to strangers and other dogs—both inside our home and out on walks—and taught us effective techniques to help her calm down and reset quickly.
Valerie was patient, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. We especially appreciated how thoughtful she was in including our young daughter in the training exercises in a way that felt supportive and age-appropriate. Thanks to Valerie, we feel more confident as dog owners and our puppy is happier, calmer, and trusts us more as she continues to settle into life at home. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

I’m writing this review not based on the training or services provided but for the professionalism of Valerie Ross. My late sister Monica gave Valerie Ross a check in November 2024 for $1712 for training for a puppy that she had gotten earlier in the year. Valerie started training sessions with her and as my sister‘s cancer progressed and her chemotherapy was giving her more issues Monica had to cancel some of her training. Monica took a turn for the worse in January, 2025. I notified sits and wiggles and told them that Monica was in the hospital and that she was going to be transferred to hospice. My sister Monica passed away On February 13, 2025. I notified sits n wiggles that Monica had passed away and left a message for them to have Valerie return my call. It is almost one year and I am finally finishing up my sister‘s estate and Valerie Ross has never given me a call back in regards to the money that she was paid. My sister paid her for training. It’s not like my sister had a choice about dying that she had her dog taken out of the program. I don’t live in Ohio and my sister wasn’t able to have training anymore because she’s no longer here, yet Valerie kept the money and never bothered to return a call or blink and I once not even to return a call to say I’m sorry about her passing. What type of person does that?

I took my sister‘s dog back to live with me in Pennsylvania and all the issues that my sister had I worked with the dog and she’s fine now. My complaint is, Valerie took money from a person that had terminal cancer, and then when the person died within less than three months of her taking that money, she ran off with that never once even contacting me back saying that she was sorry my sister passed away or to explain anything in regards to what she would do since I don’t live in the state of Ohio
