Puppy Management
One of the dog training programs we are proud to offer is our puppy management. There is nothing better than bringing home a new puppy, but many of these furry friends will need specialized training to make sure they are well-behaved and can do well in your home. Our training obedience outcomes in the puppy management classes will make this a dog training option you will want to check out.

Whether they have taken classes before or this is the first time you have brought them in, our dog obedience training can be the right choice for you.
Private Lessons
When you choose to go with one of our private lesson plans, you will get a customizable dog training program that will work with your needs. Our dog training techniques can be customized to work with what is best for your dog, ensuring that they will receive the care that you would like. If you have tried to train your dog before and found that previous dog training attempts did not work, then our private dog training is the right one for you.
Board and Train Program
We are proud to offer boarding and training services. This is going to provide the most effective dog training for our clients, ensuring that they are happy and healthy while you are gone as well. We can work on different dog training techniques during this time so that your dog is ready to come home and do well with the family. This is also a great time to focus on difficult dog training techniques.
Group Training Program
We also encourage our pet parents to pursue additional dog training. If they have done our private lessons or our obedience classes, then working with our group training is going to be a good idea. During this dog training, your pet will be able to practice some of the skills and commands they learn in other lessons and can spend time with other dogs in real-life situations.

Clay joined Cindy in training at Sit Means Sit in 2009. Having watched Cindy perform miracle after miracle transforming the lives of people and their dogs, it was an easy decision. Clay especially enjoys working with the troubled dogs.
There is no greater feeling than changing lives for the better. The satisfaction that comes from seeing an aggressive or fearful dog becoming an upstanding confident member of society is difficult to describe.
His own dog, Watson, is a rescue that had behavioral problems – you’d never know it now! Clay loves living, training and working with his dogs, Watson and Scooby – they’re great partners in the training other people’s dogs.
Michael grew up in Minnesota and moved to California in 2008. He has a Marketing Degree from California State University, San Marcos. After a few years in the marketing field, he decided that it just wasn’t for him. Michael got his first dog, Tyson, in 2018 and happily fell into dog training thereafter. Tyson is a Pitbull x German Shepherd mix. When Michael is not training dogs, he likes to spend his time at the beach, camping, skateboarding, playing golf or exploring California.
Chris grew up in Texas and eventually moved to California in 1987. He is well-traveled, living in Asia for 4 years and another 3 years in Central America. Chris has owned several businesses, including textile and photo booth, but decided he needed a change.
He grew up with dogs and knew he wanted to work with them and once he discovered dog training, he was hooked. His passion was evident from the start and in 2 short years, Chris became Sit Means Sit Orange County’s manager and lead trainer. He has 3 amazing Boston Terriers, who he also considers his business partners, Harrington, Joseph and Maisie Williams.
Bryden was born in Canada and spent his early childhood years there. His family decided to acquire a second foundry which led them to Vermont, where he would live until completing high school. It was here he would fall in love with soccer, motorcycles and snowboarding.
He would return to Canada to pursue a business degree before moving on to taking over operations of his family’s metal casting company. He ran this for fourteen years before making the decision to move west in search of greater adventure in his life. Always having a dog, naturally becoming a trainer was inevitable. Currently, he has several amazing dogs including Rollo, a chocolate lab and Scooby, a black field lab.
Bryan was born and raised in Orange County California. He realized he had a passion for training canines, while attempting to train his own pet, Scratch. He started his career as a professional trainer with Sit Means Sit in June of 2019. Determined to succeed, he’s eager and passionate to learn which carries through to today. His true passion is helping people better communicate with their dogs.

We love customers and their dogs. They love us.
Sit Means Sit’s training program has seriously been one of the best investments I have ever made. I picked my dog, Biggie, up last week and the changes in her behavior and previous aggression have been unbelievable! She’s a better listener, less territorial, and just an all around better behaved and happier dog! My dog…
We took our two pitbulls to Sit Means Sit for training. Sit Means Sit did a wonderful job training our dogs. Kileaux was always easily distracted and Nikita was a rambunctious puppy. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful in teaching us how to work with our dogs on continued training. It is hard to…
I am so pleased and impressed with Sit Means Sit in general. My Aussie puppy did a three week board-and-train since my work schedule limited my ability to go to group classes. They were very understanding and did an excellent job of explaining every aspect of their training methods, their e-collar, and were very open…
The Sit Means Sit program enabled me to take my two dogs Gaea and Dayzee on mountain hikes without worrying about them chasing wildlife. It’s great to hike with my dogs and not worry about spooking the wildlife, thank you!
