Puppy Management
Did you just bring home a brand new puppy that the kids are excited to play with and call their own? Before that dream ca become a reality, we encourage you to check out some of our great puppy training classes at Sit Means Sit. We set pet parents up with one of our dog trainers to work on some common areas of concern in a new puppy including off leash training, potty training, aggression, biting, and barking.
Day Training
If you want the best for your dog, then check out our day training programs. These are not your ordinary dog classes, but our dog trainers can customize them based on what your dog needs the most. With your help, of course, we can work on barking, aggression, pet walking, and even getting along with other dogs at the dog park. These day training courses are designed to make learning fun so your dog won’t get bored!
Private Lessons
Our private lessons allow you to customize the dog training experience. Our dog trainers can work with you to come up with the pet training and basic obedience training that you are looking for. As dog parents, you know what your furry friend needs the most, whether it is to train as a service dog or spend more time around other dogs, and our dog trainers are ready to work with you to provide that great experience!
Board and Train
One of our most efficient programs in the Newport Coast, CA, area is our board and train program. If you are going to be gone for a few days or longer, then the board and train program will allow our dog trainers a chance to work one-on-one throughout the day. Dog parents will be able to leave their dog with the very best, all while having a chance to come home to a well-behaved dog in Newport Coast when they are done. Talk to a dog trainer on our team to learn more about this comprehensive program and see if it is right for you.
Group Classes
While our private lessons and day training will provide some of the amazing dog training that you need, many of our clients love adding on some group classes as well. This is a time for your dog to really shine, practicing all of the neat tricks and skills they learn in the other courses with our dog trainers. They can spend time running around and playing with other dogs, interacting in the real world, and showing off to their pet parents in Newport Beach. Add these to any of the regular classes you choose to see amazing results.

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.

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!
