Trainers Jill Guin and Richie worked patiently with both us humans and our dog. Over the months, dog and humans have all moved from high anxiety and frustration to a comfortable and pleasant relationship that is a plus in the quality of our lives. Hiring Underdogs Long Beach is an investment and commitment that has already paid off in making my spouse and I better humans and good dog parents. Training by Underdogs Long Beach has developed our dog into a safe and reliable part of our family!

She wants to know what behaviors you want to manage and creates a custom plan for your puppy and your lifestyle that is based on research, responsive, and always fun. And she genuinely cares! So she's flexible and able to continuously adjust the training plan as your puppy grows. We love working with Jill and would recommend her to anyone with a new puppy!

Jill set us up with all the tools we needed to train our large breed reactive dog. Each session is catered to your dog's needs and prioritizes the most urgent issues. Most importantly, she uses science based force-free methods, which has worked wonders for our dog’s nervousness and reactivity. Jill is super knowledgeable and passionate about setting you up for a lifetime of success and happiness with your beloved furbaby!

A 4-week training program to help build your pup's confidence so you can leave them at home alone without worrying about their behavior while you’re away.
Private, in-home sessions give you undivided attention to see fast results with your dog. We customize your plan to address anything from aggression and reactivity to obedience training for puppies or wild dogs.
When your puppy comes and stays with one of our certified trainers for 2 weeks to 2 months, they can easily learn essential foundation training and come back to you as the same cute puppy you left with us, but with more manners!
From Puppy Kindergarten to basic training to staying calm in public, our group classes help you and your dog learn how to communicate with each other and socialize at the same time.
You won’t believe how effective virtual training is! We’ll build a plan based on your dog’s specific needs and you’ll learn the skills to train them yourself. We meet regularly via Zoom to work on all training goals.
Choose from 4 online courses you can view in the comfort of your own home, helping with issues like prepping for and training a foster or rescue pup, teaching a dog to come when called, and more.
Helping dog parents like you build better relationships with their pets is my jam. I get it – you just want a calm pup who you can take on vacation or chill next to you on the couch at home. Hell, you'd be happy if your dog just stopped going crazy every time someone came to visit, right? Don't worry, we've got you!
At UNDERDOGS, we train with empathy and compassion. And we never judge you, the pet parent! We're all in this together.
I've personally adopted 8 dogs and fostered hundreds over the years, plus I've trained countless dogs (and their humans!) and can't wait to help you too.
