Tom Longenecker
Owner / Head Trainer
Tom specializes in reactive and aggressive dog rehabilitation, off-leash obedience and behavior modification. As a graduate of the Sit Means Sit School of Instruction and an AKC certified Canine Good Citizen evaluator, Tom has continuously expanded his knowledge through numerous seminars and certification programs. His work has been featured on local news stations WKBW and WIBV, and he was a featured author in the popular book, “Dog Training Insights.”
He began his Sit Means Sit journey in Houston, TX in 2014 when he rescued a street dog named Ellie. She was a handful so he sought professional guidance, which ultimately sparked his passion for dog training.
Since founding Sit Means Sit Buffalo in 2017, Tom has grown the business from a one-man mobile operation to a full-service facility with a dedicated team that shares his vision for helping both dogs and their owners live better lives together. His commitment extends beyond individual training to community engagement, where he provides bite prevention programs, puppy classes for new adoptees and training support for rescue dogs.
When Tom isn’t working, he likes to cook for friends, play guitar, go on hikes and compete with his Belgian Malinois, Jeffrey and Dutch Shepherd, Chunk.
