About this program
What they say about themselves
Kyle Maguire leads the training team at Sit Means Sit San Gabriel Valley, having worked his way from apprentice in 2020 to head trainer and earning his Sit Means Sit certification in early 2021. According to their site, he grew up in a family that fostered adopted dogs. Trainer Frank joined after seeking help with his own Rottweiler, transitioning from a desk job into a training career.
The Glendora-based operation follows the Sit Means Sit method, which they describe as combining positive reinforcement with teaching dogs to focus on their owners both on and off leash. Their approach pairs one-on-one sessions with ongoing group classes, where they say all dogs are welcome—including those showing aggression—in a structured environment with controlled distractions.
Their site lists behavioral work for aggression, anxiety, reactivity, and fear-based issues alongside standard obedience and off-leash training. They also emphasize early puppy training, focusing on the first 20 weeks to build a foundation. Programs are available as private lessons, group classes, or in-home sessions.
