Question on Google
How much does your dog training cost?

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 (626) 803‐2275 to schedule!

Before we came across Sit Means Sit, we consulted with multiple trainers and did two different trainings. One of the trainings was treat incentivized and the second used aggressive redirection which included hard pulling on the leash and even kicking them in the stomach. I saw an ad for Sit Means Sit and decided to do the free consult. Zeus was highly reactive out of fear. Going on walks was difficult and taking him somewhere other than the park was impossible. I have the scars on my body to prove it! Blake did the consult with us and was so warm and welcoming and didn’t shame Zeus or me for our difficulties. He gave us hope. I saw a great improvement even one session in. After a few months, Zeus was able to do the group trainings without a muzzle. Now, a year later, we’re at the Sit Means Sit appreciation event and Zeus came in second in the distraction game and 5th in the silent commands game, without a muzzle! Sit Means Sit has given me and Zeus the confidence, hope, and acceptance we needed. I am definitely renewing and I already recommend this training to anyone and everyone. Thank you Sit Means Sit!

Sit Means sit helped Suki go from being a good dog to a GREAT dog! We used to have issues with keeping her attention while outside, but now she’s a off-leash girl. The weekly group classes and pack walks are very helpful for continuing her training around dogs who are at different stages in their training.

My wife and I recently got a Shiba Inu puppy and were quickly humbled by his energy, charisma, and sass. We live in the SGV, minutes away from the Sit Means Sit facility, so naturally we decided to do a consultation for training for our baby boy, Zaku. The consultation was informative, friendly, and fun. Frank was the one who walked us through the process and what kind of training schedule would fit best with our sassy Shiba. Once we decided to start training, our main trainer was Kyle and Zaku LOVES him. We love him too of course, because he gave us all the tools we needed to help Zaku be an upstanding doggy citizen. We also had a couple of classes with Aaron and really love his energy and expertise as well. He is at many of the group classes and does a great job at facilitating a good time. We (including Zaku) really love the puppy classes, private classes, and group classes! What’s so amazing about SMS SGV is that you can tell how much they truly care about the success of each and every dog! I will always be grateful for the work that Sit Means Sit Glendora has provided to our community.

I paid 750 and the trainer choked my dog out till my german shepherd dog was foaming at the mouth in my first visit. That was all I needed to see. He said he had to force the dog to see who is boss. These people use electronic shock devices and call them "modern training tools." I cannot legally call this electro shock therapy, but using electric shock therapy has been considered inhumane, and these people are using electrical current to tell the dogs no and i tested it--it hurts me a lot. So i let them keep the money and i Trained my dog with love and she is fine. I had tried to use their electric collar more kindly and every time i took it out, my dog sulked visibly and looked sad and frightened. I am proud i threw it away. By the way i had a witness with me. I hope no one hurts their dog harshly to train these wonderful and emotional animals.
