Dog Training in Long Beach

“We had a great experience working with Lindsay as our dog trainer. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about what she does. From the very beginning, she came prepared with a thoughtful plan tailored to our dog’s needs, focusing on leash training, reducing jumping, and teaching him to settle in his bed on command. What really stood out was how clearly she demonstrated her techniques and explained the reasoning behind them. She made sure we felt confident practicing the training ourselves, which made a huge difference in our progress. Lindsay was patient, professional, and encouraging throughout the process. Thanks to her guidance, we’ve already seen noticeable improvements in our dog’s behavior. We highly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for an effective and compassionate dog trainer!”

“Kendall is very kind and easy to talk to, and Lucy really liked her. She was gentle with Lucy and gave me a simple summary after the session. I appreciate her time and the suggestions she shared. Thank you again!”

“Lisa has watched our dog at least 4 or 5 times, staying overnight at our home — usually multiple nights at a time and once for two weeks. She has also fed our senior cat. She has proven to be good with our lovably rambunctious dog, taking him on walks, giving him food and plenty of scritches. It’s clear how our dog has come to feel about Lisa - he can’t stop wagging his tail and getting the zoomies when she carriages. She has also been kind to our cat. It’s a relief being able to count on someone to not only watch your dog, but be respectful of — and responsible with — one’s home.”

“Cynthia is fantastic. Very knowledgeable and a good communicator, and she’s great at breaking things down to the essentials. My dog and I are both super grateful, she’s great.”

About: I have sit and boarded countless dogs in my sitting and boarding career. I’m adaptable to train the nervous and anxious pups who come from the streets and adorable pups who come from good pedigrees. I do not breed discriminate!

“Nicolas is great with Piper…very patient with a hyper and busy dog.”

“My dog and I had a successful first training session with Khafren. Sunday, my dog, did really well. She learned a lot and enjoyed the training session. Kahfren was gentle with my 3 lb puppy.”

About: I have a wide range of experience, having worked with thousands of dogs in my time in the industry. Reactivity, over excitement, anxiety, basic obedience (Leash walking, basic commands, owner focus, polite greetings, etc), puppy training, I’ve done it all! I’ve also done dock diving, rally, agility, and tricks!

“Carlos was an absolute pleasure to work with over the course of our seven weekly sessions. Like many first‑time dog owners, I had a moment of “what did I get myself into?” when I brought home my nine‑week‑old puppy. Carlos’s calm, patient approach changed everything. From the very first lesson (my dog started at age twelve weeks), he gave me confidence that I could train my puppy and that my puppy could actually master each step. The program starts with the basics and each week builds naturally on the last. Week-by-week, both my confidence and my puppy’s confidence grew dramatically. If you’re willing to put in the work between sessions, you’ll see the training take hold and set your dog on the right path. I highly recommend Carlos’s seven‑week program to build your skills, your confidence and your dog’s ability to become a well‑trained, well‑behaved companion.”

“Arash isn’t just a dog trainer — he’s the kind of person every dog and every rescue wishes they had in their corner. He’s incredibly skilled, deeply responsible, and genuinely loving in the way he works with every animal. His commitment goes far beyond training sessions; he’s a huge rescue advocate who’s actively involved with all the local rescue groups, always stepping up for dogs who need a second chance. Anyone who’s crossed paths with Arash knows he brings heart, expertise, and unwavering dedication to everything he does”

“So so glad to have had Ash over for an in-home session! She was so sweet to our puppy, gave great tips and strategies, and was so receptive to our concerns and struggles. I would strongly recommend her”

“Andres did an amazing job training my pitbull, Spankey. He was patient, knowledgeable, and truly caring throughout the process. Spankey showed noticeable improvement in behavior and obedience, and Andres always made sure I understood the training techniques so I could continue them at home. I highly recommend him as a responsible and dedicated dog trainer.”

Nathalie G.

“I can’t recommend Ashley Sanford enough as a personal dog trainer. She had a natural connection with our dog Bella and a calm, patient approach that really made a difference in our dogs behavior. We saw a difference in Bella’s aggressive attitude in a short amount of time. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable in dog’s behavior issues, dependable and truly dedicated to helping train your fur child to be a good pet, Ashley is an excellent choice.”

“Jill is wonderful! She helped me with a detailed plan in acclimating my rescue dog. Thank you for the knowledge and great tips! Will book again.”

“We and our three chiweenies, including one who is not food-motivated and one who was a senior when we adopted him, highly recommend Andrew! They had limited success with many previous trainers. Formerly highly reactive, they now are pack walkers and currently working on their patio manners. He shines at changing our dogs actual underlying motivations for sustainable success. He is very skilled throughly explaining every step of the process. Our dogs love him & we love his communication, patience, and dedication to continuing education. Training is now a bonding session not a chore!”

About: At the heart of my training programs is Positive Reinforcement. Instead of focusing on what your dog does wrong, I teach them exactly what you want them to do right. I like to focus of the pup pups dealing with separation anxiety No Pain, No Fear: I strictly avoid aversive tools like shock collars, choke chains, or prong collars. This prevents anxiety and creates a safe, engaging environment for your dog to learn.

“Helen was punctual, and had great knowledge on how to help train our dog Angelo. Will definitely seek Helen's help more in the future.”

“All I can say is, Wow. Our initial consultation with Erica was simply amazing. She is so genuine, kind and full of knowledge. We will definitely be utilizing Erica to help train us and our dog! If you are new to rover, or just looking for a new trainer to go with then I have to recommend Erica!”

Cameron B.

“Skyler’s consultation was fantastic! My dog immediately bonded with her, and I felt like she was meeting an old friend. I shared what led me to book with her and my goals for Jewels. She explained how we can help him become more obedient at home through training, noting that he’s a quick learner, so he should pick things up quickly. She also suggested my good Kong and lick mat, along with more training opportunities, which I’m planning to explore.”

“Kai is an incredibly kind and uplifting trainer and his holistic approach is exactly what we were looking for. He completely nailed the root of the issue in our very first meeting, offering strategies that were so brilliantly simple they made us think, “Why didn't we think of that?” After being repeatedly told that our rescue dog's resource guarding was an incurable, lost cause, it was such a relief to get genuine hope from Kai and the approaches we could use to ease the issue. He was incredibly understanding and compassionate throughout our time together. On top of his expertise, he connected with our dog immediately. We truly feel like we are in great hands!”

“April is excellent. She is kind and patient. She had one session with my Dexter and I can see a significant difference. The homework she provides is clear and concise.”

Quinn S.

“Ana was amazing. Very knowledgeable and not pushy towards certain training. She went above and beyond to learn my pup and his habits to create a plan. Saw some results right off the bat and will continue to work with her. If you are thinking twice, stop and at least do a consultation you won’t regret it! Thanks Ana!”

Andrew G.

“Allie understands and cares about dogs and their humans. She’s patient, clear, and positive, and she gives practical, step-by-step homework that’s easy to follow between sessions. We adopted a reactive dog from a shelter, and Allie helped us pinpoint what was driving the reactivity and exactly what to do in the moment. Her approach is research-based (we’re working through BAT training), which gave us confidence. We’ve seen measurable progress after every session and felt supported throughout. We recommend Allie to anyone dealing with reactivity or wanting a trainer who delivers real results.”

“He was awesome!!!”

“Kurt listened to my concerns. He gave my 3 week from a shelter dog time to get comfortable. I feel like I was professionally guided with a gentle, calm approach. My dog even got to play with his dog a little. He evaluated him in a neutral territory. I now know more about BART. He likes horses is non reactive , not a big prey drive either. I feel his behavior is better than shoulder be expected. My nerves are calmer, and that’s saying a lot. Thank you Kurt, I have more hope now.”
