At Sit Means Sit South Orange County ("SOC") we specialize in off-leash training even around your dogs biggest distractions. You never know when your dog might get out the front door or slip out the back gate and that is when the training really counts. There’s no dog Sit Means Sit can’t train, from a 180-pound Mastiff to a 2-pound Chihuahua. We offer programs that fit any and all dogs…no matter the breed, age, size or personality, we have you covered! Through our free consultation, Sit Means Sit South Orange County will design a program to fit each dog and owner’s goals. Our trainers will come to you so they can see the everyday behaviors and work in your dogs environment.
Groups classes are extremely helpful in improving your dog’s social skills! Once completing one of our individual training programs, they will be able to partake in Group Classes where they will learn to handle severe distractions in an organized learning environment.
Our Private Lessons allow us to address your pup’s individual needs by learning from your own personal trainer. They can come to your home, local park, favorite trail, or even a shopping center to work around your dogs biggest distractions.
We have programs specifically designed for puppies! By teaching them the proper way to behave from the start it can prevent disobedient behaviors in the future. We help with main issues such as potty training, crate training, leash introduction, and chewing & biting issues.
Our dedicated team consists of Therapy Dogs, Service Dogs, and Handlers. Both canine and trainer work hard to earn each of their certifications so that they can give their best service to the community.
This program allows you to get the best of a fully immersed training program without having to send them away. Training would be completed in and around your home. And our professional trainers would come every day to teach your dog the manners they need, while you get to sit back & relax.

Absolutely! The person who coined the saying you cannot teach an old dog new tricks- was just lazy! We train all ages!

We train the level of obedience need for service dogs but not the actual task work. We can guide and coach you on the task work.

There are a number of factors that we evaluate prior to building a training package for you such as your dog’s age, temperament, previous training, as well as the desired goals of the owner. Because of these factors, we offer a free demonstration & consultation as an opportunity to meet with your family as well as your dog to gain insight into the unique circumstances that affect your dog’s training. If you are interested, give us a call at (949) 373‐5357

We do not charge ala cart prices for commands. We have all inclusive packages that allow us to dig deep into your dogs reactivity and give you more than just a band aide.

Amazing experience our 8 month rescue Labrador puppy went in as mess and came out after the 20 day boarding the most wonderful well behaved dog we could imagine. We feel safe with him and the kids now and walking is a much more enjoyable. It’s fun to take him to the malls and restaurants. The staff was wonderful and have continued to help us throughout our experience. Joel’s follow up visits really helped understand the process and would highly recommend Sit Means Sit to anyone.
Great place to train your dog. I brought my mixed terrier aka Bloomy to be trained. We adopted her in February and she is a very nervous dog. We were not able to put a leash on her without her freaking out. She was able to progress through their training program and now we can go for long walks and she listens to commands. She is a great dog and with the help of all the trainers in the San Juan Capistrano office she has become an amazing dog. Thank you very much. You guys are amazing !
We signed our English lab “Boon” up for the 20 day train and stay as a 6 month old. We certainly missed him! That was the hardest part. The team at Sit Means Sit did an amazing job with him! Every trainer we’ve interacted with is knowledgeable, patient and understanding, not to mention pretty cool too. 😎 A big thanks to Kevin for all the great work you did with him! He is a well behaved pup now and we can take him for hikes off leash and not have to worry about him getting into trouble with other people, pets or snakes! He will heel right next to me, wait for me if he gets ahead too far when he isn’t in heel, sit and stay when needed, place on his bed or really anything I command him to place on and more. I’d recommend this training program to anyone whether you have a pup or adult dog. I’m so thankful we decided to sign him up for this training. Oh and the other great part is we can take him to dinner with us frequently because he is so well behaved instead of leaving him home every time we go out to eat. That’s more quality time with our Boon for years to come. 🩵🤩🐶💯✅
Amazing staff of trainers! We did the 21 day in-board training and was amazed at the results! The trainers are so knowledgeable and helpful, and the results speak for themselves. Chubbs was a rescue that was set to be possibly put down for aggression, and we took a chance on Sit Means Sit, and they delivered us such a great well behaved boy who is a complete 180 of what they took in to train! They definitely train the owners as well as the dogs, so be ready to learn the right way to be a great dog owner too!
