Sit Means Sit Dog Training Long Beach

I found Sit Means Sit LB via the positive reviews and couldn’t be happier with the results, so wanted to do the same for someone else looking for a dog training program. We enrolled our 5 year old Morkie, Bella, who struggled with being overprotective and hyper possessive (or “resource guarding”) with her dad/my husband. After we had a baby, the aggressive/reactive behavior intensified. And after a few close-call incidents with other people and dogs, we decided that it was time to get professional training. I researched several different local programs and Sit Means Sit LB immediately stood out with great reviews. I also liked that it was one of the few day-training programs because I didn’t want to send Bella away for 2-6 weeks to a board and train program. Right from the initial evaluation with owner, Lisa-Marie, I knew we had found our solution and signed up for the training program on the spot. At the initial evaluation meeting, Lisa-Marie took the time to get to know Bella, us as owners and the specific concerns that we had regarding Bella’s behavior. She then explained the program in detail, including how training would be customized to address our specific concerns (including with our new baby) and gave us a hands-on demonstration of how the e-collar works/feels. The program was around $3,000, which was at the top of our budget, but it has definitely been worth the investment and they also offer flexible payment schedules/financing which helped. We started seeing results after the second session, which is when you take home the e-collar. With each session, they sent us videos of Bella with training demonstrations and progress updates, which has been super helpful. I also loved that they had a welcome sign for with our pup’s name for each day of training (nice touch!). They also customized training to address specific situations involving the baby (e.g., stroller walks). After completing the 4 private sessions, Bella is a completely different dog and we look forward to continuing her training in group classes. Overall, we are SO happy we found Sit Means Sit! Special shout out to both Lisa-Marie and Candace (trainer) — they worked wonders with our Bella! Thank you!!

Thank you to Lisa Marie and her amazing staff for their unwavering support, dedication and patience through Kona's training journey. Your kindness, expertise, and encouragement have made such a positive difference, and we are truly grateful for everything you've done. Kona has come so far in a short amount of time because of your commitment, and we couldn't have asked for a better team. Thank you for believing in Kona and (us) every step of the way. Can't wait to join the group and pack walks. Thank you, Dave & Sandy 🥰

We couldn't be happier with the training our dogs received! They learned so much, and honestly, we did too as owners. Since completing their training, our dogs are noticeably calmer, more confident, and much easier to communicate with. What really sets them apart is that they don't just train your dogs and send you on your way. They take the time to teach the owners as well, making sure you have the knowledge and tools to continue building on your dog's progress at home. The support doesn't end after the training sessions either. They offer lifetime group sessions and pack walks, which is an incredible value and helps reinforce everything the dogs and their humans have learned. I'm so grateful we found them and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, supportive trainers who truly care about both the dogs and their owners!
