Tiara is a fabulous trainer! I rescued a big one year old lab mix from being euthanized with the idea I would foster her. After a week of having her in my home I wanted to shoot myself in the foot for doing it. She was attacking my other dogs, biting me and my daughter, and an absolute horror to walk. She was basically a 65 pound puppy with no training. After several training sessions and great direction from Tiara, Rory is a sweet, affectionate girl who follows my commands and gets along with my two dogs now. I am keeping her, too. Thank you again, Tiara! read more

Tiara is the absolute best. My pup Chewie is so well trained and it was such a pleasure to work with her.

Tiara is so natural with dogs and such a pleasure to work with. When I first spoke with her, I explained my dog and situation, and she said no problem. I have a rescue dog and wanted to build our connection before she becomes a service dog. Tiara really helped facilitate that. I always look forward to our training sessions, the hour flies by! There's a reason she has so many 5 star reviews. Thank you Tiara! read more

Tiara is amazing! Patient and knows her craft! Absolutely fantastic, she has been training my rescue puppy with all the commands plus her impulse control wanting to play towards people and other dogs. If you have younger or older dogs that needs help Tiara is definitely the person to call!! read more

Tiara is amazing. I was referred by a fellow fur mom that we run into on our dog walks. Found out our veterinarian of 40 years - Dr Evans, All Pets Veterinary in Rancho Palos Verdes - also highly recommends Tiara. Tiara is very professional. Teaches me to be the dog mom I need to be for my service dog. What I find to be great though is that Tiara teaches via POSITIVE enforcement. (Our first trainer - we moved cities - enforced more via "punishment"). We have had a few lessons so far and I highly recommend going with Sit Happens. read more

Tiara is the best! You can tell she truly loves dogs in how she is so patient and kind to both the dog(s) and owner! I have spent the last 4 years recommending her to everyone I know (and don't know) in need of an amazing trainer. You won't regret choosing her to help get your dog(s) to be the best version of themselves! read more

Please please please do yourself a favor and get support for your fur baby via SitHappens. All the reviews in favor of this business are true. Not only was the trainer great win her communication prior to the visit but she was timely, professional and so kind! We have a one year old puppy and calling him wild is an understatement. He ran out household until our training session today. I have a 6 year old and he was very aggressive with her. After our very first session ever (and within 5 minutes of the session might I add) our puppy had a behavioral adjustment with lots of positive reinforcement and my daughter found her voice. Now both of my kids (my daughter and my fur baby) better understand how to interact with one another in a healthy way. I was mind BLOWN. As soon as our session began, our trainer spotted behaviors (between my fur baby and my daughter) that made her uncomfortable and she communicated with me what she suggests we should start with. It worked. I'm sold. She's talented. End of story. Pour into THIS business. Thanks! read more

Our dog Bear was such a handful. She would bite our ankles, chase our small children, growl and bark at us and basically make us wonder "why" we would ever be foolish enough to get a puppy. I had spoken to various trainers and was skeptical that anyone could help. Tiara showed up on time and was extremely professional. She got right to work with Bear. Bear was a different dog around her; not the hellion we had been dealing with for 8 weeks. After training with Tiara for an hour, she was exhausted. Tiara taught us so much. She was awesome (and funny). Our dog was different after the first training session. Three sessions in and we are now teaching our dog tricks. Whaaaatt?? This can't be the same dog. We have 3 special needs kids under the age of 10. Tiara has been a life saver. Bear no longer wants to eat our children. Thanks Tiara. See you next week! read more

Tiara is the absolute best. She has really helped my puppy come a long way. Or should I say, she has really helped me come a long way. Tiara has given me the most valuable life tools to be a good dog mom to my 65 pound labradoodle. Anytime I have felt anxious or stressed by my pups misbehaving, she has come to the rescue and given me a route to fix it, and it has always worked!!! Tiara is a life saver and a staple in our family now. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us and Oliver! Oh and she follows all necessary Covid protocols!! read more

Is your furry friend bossing you around?! Do you walk your dog or he/she walks you instead?! Well we have a solution to your pawblem (get it!) Lol Tdawg is one of the best dog trainer in the LBC! As suggested by her nickname, Tiara is really great with any kinds of dogs. Our dog Biggie (American bulldog/ Aussie mix) is big, suggested by its name, too :) trained with her. The main problem with Biggie- he is so friendly with people and dogs that sometimes he gets in trouble because he does not know how to properly say hello. He is like that one weird kid in high school, if you get to know him, he is super cool, but awkwardly does not know how to socialize.. thats our dog lol. On a serious note... There is one point in time that we (gf and I) as dog parents, wanted to give up because Biggie was getting too reactive at the dog park. His once friendly side becomes excited/anxious-reactive around dogs because he is constantly experiencing being bullied at the dog park by other dogs. Understandably, he just wants to defend himself, but it was getting out of hand. Then one dog parent at the dog park suggested us to contact Tiara to train Biggie. Gladly, we did and she has been a blessing to us because now Biggie learned how to control himself. Although, still a working progress just like anything, we now have the confidence as a dog parent to guide Biggie to the path of being a "good boy." And all thanks to Tiara's teaching, we never gave up on our best friend, Biggie :) Sooo what are you waiting for?! Go meet the amazing Tdawwwwg!!! read more

Tiara was amazing! Thank you, BaileyAnna is 90% better, I am working with her everyday! She has really stopped barking and not pulling when I work. Today, she was perfect not pulling me when I was walking with my walker in Leisure World, Seal Beach. I would be happy to recommend you to anyone looking for an excellent and affordable dog trainer!

Jenn is amazing! She was a huge help in continued training with our puppy! We did 3 sessions.

Tiara is an AMAZING dog trainer! My gf and I recently adopted a dog, Luna, and we're both first time dog owners. We really wanted to set up Luna for success, especially since she was a stray and had a history of abuse. Tiara was recommend to us by a friend and even though we live in San Diego, we have made the 1.5 hr drive up to Long Beach multiple times to meet up with Tiara. After a few sessions, Tiara helped us accomplish some of our biggest goals: 1) walking well on a leash, 2) recall, 3) getting Luna to do simple things like leave it, wait, stay, and to give us eye contact In addition to our training sessions, Tiara is always available to help us via text or call. Since my girlfriend and I have A LOT of questions, we constantly text or call Tiara and she's always quick to respond. Not only does she give us Training advice, she has also helped us figure out Luna's diet, washing routine, and helped to answer some behavior related questions during a period of time when Luna had separation anxiety. We would 100% recommend Tiara to anyone! read more

Tiara is exceptional. My dog had a lot of reactivity towards other dogs and men when I first got him as a foster. He would go absolutely nuts when he saw a dog even if they were super far. He would pull on his leash, whine, growl, bark, anything to try and go get the dog he saw. He would also growl and bark at men when he saw them and wouldn't let strangers touch him. Tiara helped teach me how to socialize him and get him more comfortable around highly populated areas that had people and dogs all around. I feel much more confident now being able to take my dog out in new environments. So grateful for Tiara and everything she's done for my dog. He adores her and gets so excited to see her. I recommend her to everyone I know. read more

I have had some really great trainers and didn't think it could be even better. Tiara is great with my whole family and our new dog. She is so smart and able to solve any challenge we present and address various needs that we have. She is gentle and cares for my dog's health and well being. It's businesses like this that make me grateful to be in this community. read more

When we got Duke as a puppy, I thought i was prepared but was so wrong. We tried several training classes and then found Tiara. We knew we were in good hands. She was the only trainer who took the time and worked with Duke till he mastered the "DOWN" command. NO other trainer could do this. It was multiple classes and countless hours and she never gave up. She also has a way of building up an owner's confidence so we feel like we can effectively train our pups. I constantly get compliments on what a good dog Duke is and I attribute that to Tiara and her methods. Seek out her group training sessions on Sunday, you won't be disappointed. read more

Tiara is truly amazing! I have a puppy with separation anxiety and she really helped us work through our crate training process. Not only was she helpful in giving us the tools needed to follow through after she left, but she also gave us the reassurance that this stage would eventually pass! While he still has some room for growth - he's only 4 months old - I can already see a difference!! You will not be disappointed with Sit Happens! read more

Sit Happens - Moonie thanks you Tiara! - Pet Training Near Me

As first-time dog owners with a very energetic puppy, we wanted to get professional help with our puppy's training. I first looked at Petco's Yelp reviews and saw all the incredible things that others said about Tiara. Our corgi puppy had his first ever training session with Tiara at 13 weeks old and it was amazing! Tiara offered great advice for all of the puppy problems we had (puppy biting, losing attention during training, aggressive zoomies, and lots more). We walked through some basic training commands and found new ways to improve some commands we were having trouble with too. For example, our little guy just loves to nip at people, and we asked Tiara what we could do about this because just about every play or training session was getting interrupted with him nipping at someone. She taught our pup (and us) how to train "leave it" and it has made such a positive difference in his behavior towards us and things he shouldn't be biting in general! Tiara gives top notch advice and we absolutely loved the results we got from our training session with her. I would highly recommend Tiara! read more

It's really hard to find a great dog trainer who can adapt to your dog's needs, entertain him, and challenge him, all at the same time. Tiara has been wonderful in training my dog, Cooper, with reinforcing his basic commands while supplementing the training with fun tricks. Cooper is almost ten, and he's been in training on and off since I adopted him nearly eight years ago. Because of his years of training (although you wouldn't always know it from his lack of recall!), he can easily get bored with routine. He doesn't do well with trainers who follow a set manual because honestly, he's gone through that manuals many times. For these reasons, it was important for me to find a trainer who could be creative and think "outside the box." Voila, Tiara to the rescue! Cooper and I are big fans of her, and I feel so lucky to have come across her services! read more

We couldn't recommend Tiara at Sit Happens enough! Our dog would not listen to us when we called his name, he would attack the leash on walks or resist a walk in general. We knew the moment she walked into our home that she would make a difference. After just one session we already are seeing huge improvement and change! She was so kind and made us feel super comfortable. She also is willing to answer any further questions on texts outside of the session. Couldn't thank her enough, we just want her for more sessions just to better our dog in general! Worth every penny! Thanks Tiara! read more

Tiara is the greatest. She is patient, completely individualizes her tactics and communication, creative, adaptable, kind and reliable. She made it fun and helped us get our rescue puppy through some tough times. read more

What an amazing experience! Tiara knows dogs like no other. It's not just about training ur dog to be obedient, she fully understands and teaches the psychology of what ur pet needs from its owner. After one private lesson - she was able to get Bradley to walk by a dog without the aggression he usually displays, he started to learn the sit command as well as the look command and walking next to me instead of pulling me behind him. It's really incredible, and my dog is not a puppy (well he thinks he is) he's a 6 year old stray that my son in law found. Her pricing is VERY reasonable when compared to other professional dog trainers - she knowledgeable & professional. She has a Sunday group lesson that I'm looking forward to when Bradley is ready. read more

Tiara is amazing! Her decade of experience shines in every training we had. We adopted our dog, Estrella, from the shelter knowing she's had a past and been adopted and returned before. Tiara made us feel much more comfortable handling our dog and teaching us how to address each worry we've had. Even outside our actual training sessions she's stressed we can reach out to her which we've taken her up on! She's always very responsive and wants to be involved. We really appreciate having someone to ask questions at anytime, especially as first time dog owners who knew our dog would have some problems. Bonus points for being a funny and friendly person, the trainings were super insightful but also fun. Both our dog Estrella, and us have learned a lot -- and we've all been doing great together since our trainings. Couldn't recommend Tiara and Sit Happens enough! read more

Tiara has trained two of my dogs. One of which was already 4 years old and extremely aggressive, the other was trained from 4 months old to now 2 years. I chose to do one on one training with her for both dogs, this makes it easy because she was not only training my dog but me as well so that when she leaves I can continue to train. There was tremendous change in my aggressive dog after working with Tiara, I was able to gain back the control I had lost. She also worked with my puppy starting at 4 months old and he has grown up to be the most well mannered dog I have ever encountered, anytime I have a problem I can call Tiara and she shows me exactly what to do in order to change the behavior. Tiaras work has been life changing for me and I just don't know where I would be without her!!! read more

Tiara is so knowledgeable and creative and has a solve for every pup quirk in the book. We came to her with a one year old husky and jack Russell mix that was overzealous and hyper and we truly needed training ourselves on how to manage her nature. Tiara was patient and worked at our pace with homework and assignments to move us along to a well behaved dog that we constantly get compliments on! Thank you Tiara! Recommend hands down for any issue! Can't wait to try Tiaras group classes next week :) read more

When I decided to get a new puppy there was no doubt in my mind that I needed to be consistent and thorough with training, but classes can be inaccessible and very expensive.

My dog, Abbey, was abused before she was adopted, so has trust issues. Many people are scared of how to approach her, or deal with her. Not Tiara. She knows how to show Abbey that Tiara is the boss and in control. Tiara is firm, assertive, and yet oh so loving with Abbey. Tiara is not just a dog trainer, she is a dog whisperer. She speaks to dogs in their own language. She's also great with people! She's so much fun to work with and I always recommend her to anyone with a dog, puppy or grown. read more

We absolutely love Sit Happens! Tiara is knowledgeable, easy to work with, and an all around fantastic trainer.

Training sessions with Sit Happens is definitely the best part of our pups week! read more

Tiara has been amazing! Over the years that I've known her she has helped me with my 3 dogs and my previous roommates dog. From basic obedience, pulling on the leash, and greeting dogs without my dog jumping at them, name it all. With my multiple dogs there's always a new thing that I need some tips and training. She's awesome. I'd recommend her to anyone. She's flexible, super good at explaining why and how something is done, and knows what I need to look out for to prevent something from happening. She trained me to train my dogs. And that's what I needed to keep my dogs and myself happy!! LOVE her as a trainer and a person! read more

We had Robin as our dog trainer and she was phenomenal. She was very patient, she gave great direction, showed us how to give the dog commands, and made sure we had a successful training. Our puppy is so well behaved compared to when she started, and we are confident we have the tools to independently move forward with her training. Robin communicated our training schedule well, we knew our homework, and she was always on time for her next appointment. We highly recommend Sit Happens and Robin for your dog training needs. read more

Tiara trains my doberman Harley, which has never been an easy task. I feel so lucky to have a trainer who is willing to adapt her training tools to create an individual lesson plan for her clients and their needs. The way she has been able to connect with my dog while training has allowed for a training experience that is constantly engaging and rewarding. Every little success is seen as one to celebrate. Before I met her, I was frustrated as many trainers want to resort to harsher methods of training based on the breed of my dog. But Tiara is patient and provided me with the tools needed to show me that Harley is trainable. I highly recommend her, as her services and training are exceptional! read more
