About "I Said Sit!" School for Dogs

Based on what the business publishes about itself

Elisha, who leads training at "I Said Sit!" School for Dogs, has worked with dogs for more than 25 years. The Los Angeles facility's staff holds credentials including Certified Professional Dog Trainer certification and membership in the Pet Professional Guild, according to their website. They've received recognition as well, their site states they've been named best boarding training in Los Angeles annually since 2009.

What distinguishes this operation, according to their materials, is a structure they call a "training-first facility." Rather than offering typical daycare with extended free play, they describe a calmer environment where boarding and daycare dogs receive individual training sessions daily alongside enrichment activities and scheduled rest periods. Each dog gets private space with bedding and water between activities. Their board-and-train programs, typically running three to four weeks, require owners to complete coaching sessions before bringing their dog home, a step they say helps ensure the training actually transfers to everyday life.

The business works with puppies through adult dogs across the Westside and surrounding areas, addressing everything from basic manners and housebreaking to more complex issues like reactivity and resource guarding. Their stated approach emphasizes identifying underlying causes of behavior problems rather than simply correcting what shows on the surface, using reward-based methods throughout.
