Rollin, the trainer behind Sit With Rollin, works one-on-one with dogs and their owners through in-home sessions across the San Fernando Valley and Hollywood area, as well as virtual training for clients farther afield. According to the business's website, Rollin follows the LIMA ethical standard—Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive—which is required by the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. The site states explicitly that e-collars and shock collars are never used, with all training relying on positive reinforcement and marker-based communication.
Sessions take place in clients' homes and neighborhoods, which the site describes as important for addressing behavior in the actual environments where issues occur. Packages range from puppy training covering housebreaking, socialization, and bite inhibition to a "busy pet parent" option where Rollin works with the dog while the owner is away, sending video updates to maintain consistency. Virtual sessions are offered for those outside the Los Angeles service area or dealing with aggressive or territorial dogs.
The website notes some limitations: separation anxiety cases aren't currently accepted, and severe aggression may be referred to specialists. Client testimonials describe Rollin as patient and knowledgeable with various breeds and ages, though as with any reviews, prospective clients should weigh these alongside their own consultation.
