3 Best Dog Training in Long Beach, CA

Underdog’s Puppy Kindergarten has immensely improved my relationship with my puppy. All of the training tools & support i have received in class have prepared me to continue to train my puppy till he is a full grown adult. I will continue what I have learned and plan on attending further courses as he ages/vacc’es out of kindergarten. This is just the beginning of a life long journey I plan on spending with my new best friend Lou.

Jill helped us navigate setting up our home as we await a new baby. We learned how to read and manage our reactive dogs signals, help them regulate, and generally feel more comfortable as we enter this new stage in our lives. 10/10 recommend!

Jill is amazing with animals and people. We adopted 2 pitbull strays at the same time. As experienced owners we didn’t expect to need help. I can’t tell you how much I have learned about animal behavior and training. Our dogs have come a long way. I love Jill and highly recommend Underdogs.

I first came to Alex looking for help with my severely reactive/agressive dog. Walks were unenjoyable as we had to avoid any dog that was in proximity to us. I knew this was behavior that I couldn't train out of her without the help of a professional. When we first started training with her, I couldn't come within 40 feet of another dog without my dog completely losing it. She personalizes her training sessions with you based on what you feel your dog needs or how far they have progressed since the last session. She will answer phone calls when you're in a panic and just need advice on what to do or what you could/should do next time. She provides you with the necessary tools for you and your dog to be successful, you just have to be committed to putting in the work outside of training. We worked extensively with Alex to correct our leash reactivity and aggression towards dogs and I cannot thank her enough for the help she gave us and continues to give us. I look at my dog and wonder where she went because she has become such a different dog since I adopted her. It truly has been amazing to watch her progress and see her now be able to interact with dogs and play at doggie day care. You and your dog can be success stories too! She is truly wonderful and if I could give Alex more than a 5 star review, I would. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping my girl and I have such an enjoyable life together!

Alex helped us with an aggression problem we had with our rescue dog that we thought was completely insurmountable! She provides you with the tools you need to train your furry family members. She also gives you an understanding as to why your pet is “misbehaving”. She is fun to work with and she has a love for dogs that is a joy to see. We are forever grateful for her help and is highly recommended!

Alex is the best! Our pup Roo was sooo high anxiety when we first started meeting with Alex. In just a handful of sessions, he is fully crate trained, considerably less anxious, and has built up tolerance for a lot of stimuli he struggled with! So grateful for the help and support. Alex always makes herself available for questions too!
