About the Trainer
I Said Sit! School for Dogs is a dog training facility in Los Angeles that offers a range of training programs designed for both dogs and their owners. Their signature programs include Educational Daycare and Boarding School, where dogs receive daily, structured training while in their care, with weekly private lessons for owners to reinforce skills at home. They also offer private one-on-one training sessions (in-person or online), puppy classes, group workshops, and specialized Service Dog Training. The facility emphasizes positive reinforcement methods and a calm, stress-free environment, distinguishing itself from high-energy playday daycares. They believe pet parents must be actively involved in training to ensure consistency and long-term success. The business has been recognized as the “Best Boarding Training in Los Angeles” yearly since 2009 and is frequently recommended by veterinarians and other dog trainers.
They provide a structured daily routine for daycare and boarding clients that includes play sessions, enrichment activities, one-on-one training, potty breaks, and rest time in private spaces with beds and toys. Their team includes experienced trainers who prioritize calmness and focus, and they offer resources like reading lists, product recommendations, and blog content on topics like puppy care, behavior modification, and pet wellness.
They also operate a retail shop selling dog training products and host community initiatives such as donation drives for homeless pets. Their services cater to dogs of all ages, from puppies to adults, and they specialize in behavior modification for issues like fearfulness, reactivity, and separation anxiety.
