Lisa Marie and her assistants were incredibly helpful in teaching me how to train my dog to be less aggressive towards other dogs so we could successfully integrate another dog into our home. Through in-person training, an on line library of educational videos and refresher courses I was given tools to help me assist my dog in achieving security and reduce resource guarding. But Lisa Marie went above and beyond when the rescue I was working with placed additional requirements on me and my dog prior to adoption and she helped me meet those demands. I wish I had found her and Sit Means Sit first before spending so much money on other trainers that yielded very little results if any. I can’t say enough nice things about Lisa Marie and Sit Means Sit. I highly recommend.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We truly appreciate your kind words and your trust in us throughout your training journey. Helping you build confidence, reduce resource guarding, and successfully integrating a second dog into your home was incredibly rewarding. We’re especially glad we could support you through the additional requirements from the rescue - advocating for both you and your dog is something we genuinely care about. We believe training doesn’t stop after the initial lessons, and we’re proud to provide continued support through ongoing guidance, group classes, and resources as your dog continues to grow. Your commitment to learning, practicing, and showing up for your dog made all the difference. Thank you again for the recommendation and for allowing us to be part of your journey - it truly means the world to our entire team.

Zeus has done such an amazing job since starting in June. Lisa Marie and Candice are so dedicated to training pups and passionate about the dogs they work with. Definitely one of the best dog training places!

My dog Guapo has had a history of reactive behavior pretty much his whole life. Bikes, skateboards, people, and DOGS were huge triggers for him. I was never fully comfortable taking him anywhere and like any dog parent with a reactive pup I stuck to secluded places to walk together. The more he reacted the less confident I felt leaving my house with him. I did so much research on different training techniques and even went to another dog trainer for guidance to no avail. Until I decided to give finding a trainer one more go, and I’m so happy I did. We started this training journey in February of 2025 and I started to see major improvement in his behavior on walks and in public around May. Today, I could not be more pleased with the progress he has made. Walking him is a breeze, with little to no reactions on our daily walks. My boy is 10 now and it’s been the most amazing and rewarding experience being able to enjoy him in public settings. I’ve taken him to hotels, dog beaches, cafes and busy downtown areas. Even a campground with dogs right next to us! None of this would have been possible without the guidance and support of Lisa Marie and Candice. If you are looking for a training program that will teach you the tools you need to train your dog(s) then look no further. With consistency and dedication it’s worth every cent. Update: Nov. 2025 We’ve been attending group class/ pack walks every week, and it’s really paid off! Plus, we just had our first annual canine competition, and it was a blast! Such a great community to be involved in.

It has been a pleasure watching you and Guapo grow together. Seeing his confidence develop and hearing about the new places he gets to experience has been truly rewarding. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your journey with us! November 2025 update: Thank you so much for the wonderful update! We love having you at group classes and pack walks each week -- your consistency truly shows, and it’s been amazing watching Guapo's progress and confidence grow. We’re also so glad you enjoyed our first annual Canine Confidence Competition! It was such a fun day, and the community we’re building is exactly why we do what we do. Thank you for being such an active part of it and for sharing your experience.

We found Lisa-Marie more than 2 years ago to help us with our reactive dog. We tried everything else and multiple other trainers and nothing else worked. Training with Lisa-Marie has allowed us to attend numerous group classes and pack walls which helped our dog’s reactivity immensely. We enrolled our second dog into training as well and are so glad that we did. The two of them are much more confident and obedient pup which has improved their and our lives! We can enjoy activities together and give them more freedom to be dogs!

Business response

Thank you so much for sharing this incredible review. It’s been an honor to work with you all over these past few years, and we’re truly proud of the progress both of your dogs have made. Watching them gain confidence, overcome reactivity, and learn to enjoy more freedom has been such a rewarding journey. Your consistency at group classes and pack walks has played a huge role in their success -- and it’s wonderful to see how that dedication has strengthened your bond with them. Thank you for trusting us with not just one, but both of your dogs. We’re grateful to have you as part of the Sit Means Sit Long Beach family, and we’re excited to keep supporting you along the way! 🐾❤️
