Jill has been helping us since BEFORE we brought our puppy, Bella, home to live with us! She spent an encouraging and informative first telephone call with us getting us prepared for her homecoming with so many invaluable recommendations. From there Jill has worked with us for 3 months helping our somewhat timid puppy become confident. Everything from potty training to socializing to crate training to sleeping through the night! We couldn't have done it without Jill and her guidance and love for our Bella. This is the best investment we could have done! read more

Had such a great experience with Underdogs - it was me and my husband's first time raising a puppy together and all the trainings were so helpful! We loved that our puppy got to socialize with other puppies! He started off being very shy and gradually would improve each week! We really appreciate our trainer, Bry! We took puppy kindergarten and it was the best to have that socialization time for our pup. The place is very clean and spacious and I love that it was also in its own room to limit distraction. It's also situated in a pet store so our pup got to pick out a treat every time he was done with class! read more

Underdogs Long Beach - Pet Training Near Me

We hired Underdogs to help us with our reactive, 1-year-old English Mastiff. We have teen boys whose friends come over & she really loves to bark & growl at them & anyone else who enters our home. She is a huge dog & it's very intimidating for people. I was always on egg shells. Jill was amazing! She gave us great tips on how to manage her anxiety around people. She went on a walk w us & our dog, she even helped my mom with our dog while we were out of town. We now have the tools we need to manage her anxiety when people come over. I would 100% use Undergogs again. read more

Wanted to take a minute to recognize how great an experience we had. My daughter and I have a 2 month old puppy and enrolled in their classes. We made the first session and it was an amazing experience. Professional and helpful. Unfortunately there was a dynamic that neither underdog and I could control and we had to leave the class. Jill the owner was thoughtful and receptive to my emails. I plan on coming back as soon as we can. Highly recommend. read more

Underdogs Long Beach - The pup in question - Pet Training Near Me

We adopted a brand new puppy and knew we wanted to send her to a board and train to set her up for success. Our experience with Jill was beyond incredible. She was so informative and made us feel like a part of the process every step of the way. Mabel learned so much in the twelve days she was there. She learned to sleep in her crate. Jill got her ready to fly on an airplane with the small airline carrier. She learned touch, "relax", name recall, and sit. We were in awe!! We also felt so safe leaving her there and got so many videos and updates every single day. Jill was such a warm person and gave Mabel plenty of cuddles and couch time during her stay. We couldn't have chosen a better trainer and home for our puppy to learn in. We will be shouting our recommendation of her from the rooftops!!! read more

Richie has been working closely with our family and our new puppy Harley for the past two months and the results of his efforts in guiding us have been night and day. Harley was a terror when she first arrived to our home and Richie has helped us tremendously with understanding Harley's behaviors and how to navigate them. His insight and guidance have not only been a huge relief to our family but to Harley as well who loves to work with Richie. We are so grateful for the training he's provided us thus far and look forward to continue to work with him. Thank you Jill and Richie! read more

Bryanna was great. Could really tell the difference in my dogs leash reactivity after 6 weeks!!! Very kind and explained dog behaviors and how to understand them. Would 100% recommend underdogs to anyone. read more

I had already tried a group class in Long Beach, which was fine, but I knew that my little herder pup and I were going to need much more focused support in order for me to better understand her needs. And, wow, did Underdogs come through. I had a really amazing intake phone call with Jill, and she paired me up with Nick, which was the COOLEST DOG TRAINER EVER. They were knowledgeable, empathetic, funny, and so so helpful. I can't wait to work with them again when my pup gets a little older. For now, we're going to work on everything they taught us in our four sessions! I also love that Underdogs is clear with their beliefs! Both about dogs and the world. I will always favor a group of folks who I align with in terms of values. LOVE LOVE LOVE UNDERDOGS! read more

After getting our golden retriever puppy we knew we wanted to start socialization and training early on. We did our research and found Underdogs nearby. We loved that they use positive reinforcement methods and that the trainers were certified and knowledgeable in animal behaviors. We started with puppy socialization classes, then 2 more Fundamental classes, and we plan on continuing with Underdogs for more classes. Our puppy is now 7 month old and has developed and learned so much! He has learned many basic commands, but also worked on being confident, calm, and focused on us. We too have learned so much about how to train and work with our puppy. The team is great. Jill responded right away to all my questions and concerns and Bry (our main trainer) is just the best!!! She is so knowledgeable in her field and works so well with our fur baby and us. She answered all our questions and gave lots of helpful advice. I also like that the classes are kept to small groups to allow for better training sessions. Definitely recommend! read more

Jill helped us navigate and understand two reactive dogs before we become new parents. Her advice and guidance was clear and consistent and made me feel 10x more confident making sure our dogs are regulated before we meet baby. highly recommend! read more

We just finished a series with Jill and we are so grateful for all we learned to help our 130lb Cane Corso. Jill taught us so much about her and how to positively reinforce to help her become more comfortable in our very busy surroundings. Our dog absolutely loooooooooves her and has accepted her as part of the family at this point. We are headed off for summer vacation soon as we look forward to getting better and bringing Jill back for the next round of lessons. I highly recommend Jill for a reactive dog, her methods are positive and loving which works exceptionally well for our household and our 130lb baby. read more

Jill's been incredible and our dog (Ginger) absolutely loves her. Ginger has progressed so much over the course of the sessions we've had, but so have my partner and I as dog owners! It's clear that Jill cares not just about her work during our sessions, but the continued quality of life for the dogs and owners she works with. We've learned so much from her about dog behaviors (which we've found have been incredibly helpful to recognize, not just in Ginger, but other dogs before we put her in a situation that will make her fearful; or vice versa). But most importantly, we learned 1) to be 100% consistent in our training, which means the whole family, and 2) to have more patience with this process and realistic expectations. That there will probably always be small setbacks for a variety of reasons, but as long as there's gradual progress overall, it's amazing. I'll be the first to admit that we were impatient and frustrated at the beginning, less with Ginger and more so ourselves and only in so far that we just want her to feel well-adjusted and comfortable in life. It's not that we expected quick immediate results, but we would feel stuck because we weren't recognizing what were signs of progress. Having Jill there to give us guidance and point those out really kept us motivated and made a big difference. I love that our sessions haven't just been about her training Ginger, but actually coaching us so we can continue training her. Thanks to Jill, I really feel like we're set up for long-term success to give Ginger a happy life and help her move past her trauma as much as we can. I wrote more about why we sought out training below. This is super long already because I truly cannot express how fantastic Jill has made this process, but I hope if you read this and go "Hey, that sounds like my dog!" that you reach out to her - you won't regret it. __________ We adopted Ginger through a rescue four months ago. She ended up at the shelter as a stray, but they don't know how long she had been out there fending for herself. From the get-go, she was an absolutely sweet and loving dog who connected with us so quickly, but clearly had intense trust, fear, and abandonment issues. Over the first few weeks, we noticed clear signs of PTSD behaviors that seem like they stemmed from abuse: sudden cowering from different triggers (loud voices regardless of tone, cleaning items/products like brooms or spray bottles, sudden movements, running water, and sadly, me when I ran over and told her to drop a very suspect, entirely intact Egg McMuffin someone left on the floor of the dog park), a distrust towards anything new (treats, toys, something new in the room, and definitely people), separation anxiety, etc. All this combined together was manifesting as fear-based, defensive behaviors towards new situations or strangers/dogs who are overeager to pet or play with her and get in her space without it being on her terms. We reached out to Jill after a few weeks because we were determined to help Ginger through her trauma, make her comfortable with the world around her, and also lessen any risk of someone complaining that she is aggressive when she clearly is trying to defend herself from something she feels is threatening. It was heartbreaking to see her live life so fearfully. We specifically sought out a trainer committed to a force-free, positive re-enforcement philosophy of dog training with methodologies based on scientific research (frankly, everyone should) and has experience in rehabilitating dogs with trauma and fear-based aggression. We did a ton of research and read the reviews of pretty much every trainer in the Long Beach area because we were so worried about someone re-traumatizing our dog. We're so lucky we found Jill to work with us on these issues, and she also noticed an additional element that we would not have otherwise: she probably was taken from the litter way too young, therefore has puppy behaviors that dogs typically get checked on by their mother or siblings. Because she has underdeveloped dog social skills, she sometimes triggers other dogs with behaviors she hasn't figured out yet that they don't like (like when another dog doesn't want to play anymore, or that in her overeagerness to socialize her intense staring at them makes them think she's being aggressive). All this is to say that we haven't even completed our package of sessions yet, but all the dog owners whose dogs she regularly plays with and met her the first couple weeks we adopted her have been telling us how amazed and happy they are to see her really come into her own and how far she's progressed with her confidence, which is a wonderful thing to hear. (FYI, I posted a picture of Jill and Ginger on our field trip to the beach - an incredible sight considering this poor dog would cower away from ANY form of running water when we first got her - including water I poured from a bottle into a cup for her to drink on a walk.) read more

We were looking for a positive reinforcement re-training for our 2 year old golden since he was going through teenage stages. We worked mostly with Richie but also with Jill. Simba has so much improvement over the past months. They taught us how to understand his needs and ways to stimulate his mind. His excitability definitely decreased and he is able to self soothe much easier. We love how they really try to understand his day to day, target possible problems, and give us alternate solutions. We even had our sitter involved in our training & we are getting good results. Thanks so much! read more

Richie is a gifted dog trainer who helped me gain confidence in nurturing a very energetic 4 month old pup. The training techniques of reward and click training really work! This is my first dog ever, and Richie and Jill helped me overcome my self doubt and anxiety and, dare I say, helped our pup build her confidence. I am grateful to Richie and Jill for their nonjudgmental and always kind support for our family! read more

We have a new puppy and knew we wanted to start on the right track with him. Our previous dog we loved, but he was fearful and high anxiety and we wanted to help raise a calm and happy dog this time around. Jill and Richie have helped us so much!

We will definitely be reaching out as August grows. I highly recommend Underdogs Long Beach! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Jill. I reached out to her in January for a consult and we started working together in February. My dog Leena is a rescue and has reactivity issues with other dogs and needed some work in loose leash walking (but primarily reactivity). As a pittie, it was super important for me to address her reactivity ASAP so she could be a great ambassador for her breed. I was previously working with another trainer who used a "balanced" approach, but it seemed to actually be making Leena's reactivity worse. So I spent a long time researching trainers in the area and contacted Jill. We did our consult and she explained that she uses force-free, science-back methods that essentially work with the dog's trigger thresholds and utilize counter conditioning and desensitization. She asked that we send a 1-2 minute progress video each day to show how we were doing between training sessions. She is also fully accredited and lists all of her licenses on her website. I was sold, so we booked a 7 session package. Overall, it was entirely money well spent and I'm overjoyed at the progress we have made with Leena. She used to react to any dog within 100 ft of her, but now we've halved that distance for barking/reacting dogs and have even gotten to within 6' of an easygoing dog while Leena stayed relaxed! Jill cares deeply about each and every client and approaches training with compassion, humor, and fun. She explains complex things well and gives great direction on how to improve your training. Force-free/R+ is not a method that produces rapid, immediate results, but what it does do is progressively build on successes in a sustainable way while building the trust between you and your dog, which is ultimately more successful than other methods. I ended up adding 3 additional sessions onto our package so we could work specifically on dog interactions and it was SO helpful in the next steps of our training. We are continuing to utilize what we've learned from Jill and are better for it! Leena's confidence in herself and trust in me has grown so much during our time with Jill and we continue to stay in touch with her for guidance. I HIGHLY recommend Jill to any pet parent seeking training! read more

i'm a first time dog owner who didn't know a lot but was willing to put the work in and very quickly found dog training and working with dogs as something that brings me lots joy. i appreciate underdogs approach and patience with meeting dogs where they're at and setting them up for success with whatever that looks like for that individual dog and circumstance. my now 2 year old dog had been attacked a few times and as a result is much more fearful and dog selective but loves humans to the moon. since working with jill and joining their pack socialization walks, i've gained lots of practical knowledge and tips while also getting a better understanding of what my dog may be experiencing and why and how to help her in a long term big picture sense. thanks a ton read more

I would have given 10 stars if I could. Jill is absolutely the best. She is not just training your dog. She is teaching you to understand your dog and communicate better. We have 2 dogs. One has been adopted very recently and needed some help. Jill was so patient and so kind with her. At some point she worked with both of our dogs. Now our dogs get along better, behave better and we could not be happier. Working with Jill worth every penny and I will recommend her to anyone with no doubt in mind. read more

I just finished up my second week of Puppy Kindergarten with Jill and Richie and I can't say how pleased I am. There are a lot of options for training out there but THIS is the one. Each class is educational, helpful, productive, and extremely geared towards skills to have not only a trained but happy puppy who engages and plays well with others. The socialization part was huge for me, Jill does an amazing job at gauging what pups are ready, need to stay in their space and watch, and when they should retreat back to watch. I learned far more than I had imagined I would in just two classes, Lola loves class so much we may add an extra! THANK YOU UNDERDOGS read more

Jill is the best! She helped me train our dog when he was a pup. She returned for more sessions when he got older and we needed help understanding some difficult behaviors he started exhibiting. Jill is so knowledgeable, and she is a fantastic teacher to both animals and humans. I learned as much as our dog did! An added bonus, Jill is so cool, you will love hanging out with her while she helps you train your dog! read more

We reached out when we adopted a 5 month old puppy because she came from a very rough background (hoarding situation) and was scared of almost everything. Our puppy was super sweet, but going out the front door or meeting a new person just terrified her, and we didn't want her life to be limited to the inside of our house. We worked with Richie over the course of a few months, and the difference we've seen in her has been incredible. She has gained so much confidence, and we learned valuable commands that we wouldn't have even thought to teach her. Also, we learned some valuable enrichment tools from Richie that help curb that puppy energy and boredom, which has been critical since she wouldn't go on walks due to fear. For our last session, we did a decompression walk with her and Richie at a local park. This was something when we first got her, was an unthinkable thing. We watched her open up and explore and ultimately, just be a dog. It was the most heartwarming thing to see her thriving and living life outside of our backyard. I would highly recommend Underdogs to anyone that adopts a dog that needs a little extra attention and care to live their best life. The patience and gentleness Richie showed with our puppy just helped her thrive even more. We look forward to using all the tools we've gained from this experience to continue to make Luna's life the best possible! read more

We thought we might have to give up our dear lab pup but Underdogs gave us tons of tools to change our dog's (and our) behavior!

Overdue review of Jill's excellent training. My rescue fluffball is a 75 lb malamute mix. I was struggling with her stranger and dog reactivity. I spoke to a few trainers before Jill and they recommended using a prong collar and e-collar because my dog is big and I'm small. I didn't feel comfortable with what I was hearing, especially as I read more about certifications and the potential fallout of using aversives. I spoke to Jill and went over my concerns and she educated me on R+ training for reactive dogs and went over a training plan. I am so glad I decided to work with her because my pup and I have made so much progress together; her stranger reactivity on walks is almost nonexistent (i also advocate for her if people try to get too close) and her dog selective reactivity is much more manageable. It takes time to work on these issues and it is a work in progress, but it's worth it. My pup and I continue to work on and use the skills we built with Jill, and it is amazing to see my pup's confidence grow. It's best to work with a professional because timing on things like engage/disengage is important. I am glad I had Jill guiding and educating me on how to best help my girl with her big feelings about the world. If you're looking for a science-based, force-free trainer to help you help your pup, Jill is the one !! read more

Another overdue review! I was a first time dog owner and had sooo many questions about my new puppy Bento. I had gone to a different trainer before her and their explanations were unclear and recommendations didn't match what I had been researching. I contacted Jill since she was a certified trainer and it was one of the best decisions I could have made for Bento. She helped me through his demand barking, fear of cars, showed me decompression walks, and so much more. She was always advocating for him and explaining what was just normal puppy behavior. I learned a lot about dog body language and communication through her and she always explained everything thoroughly and patiently. Another big reason I went for a private trainer was because of Bento's dog reactivity. After working with him, Jill could tell the issue was beyond just dog reactivity. He was over-threshold and had no focus outside regardless of what training we did. She suggested he may need medication. She referred me to a board certified vet behaviorist and although I didn't go at first because I wanted to keep it as a last resort, I realized I should've listened to her advice sooner. Once I got him on medication, he was finally receptive to training and his quality of life improved so much! Anyway, Jill is great, she's always trying to learn more so she can do better and I would 10000% recommend her to anyone that needs help with their pups! read more

We found Jill after a negative experience with another trainer. Did we luck out or what?! She was exactly what we were looking for; a force free trainer, and way to get better behavior without having to dominate our dog or use adversives. I've learned so much from Jill about dog behavior, enrichment activities, and how allowing Mabel to engage in natural behaviors like sniffing helps to calm her. Mabel is having reactivity issues with other pets in our house and it is really frustrating and overwhelming. Thankfully Jill has been so supportive, informative, and encouraging. She gives a feedback after each session about what was worked on, what she saw, and goals for the future, and always says to message her with questions that come up between sessions. She is prompt in getting back to us. She is great with dogs and humans alike. You and your dog would be so lucky to work with her. read more

Jill is amazing with animals and people. We adopted 2 pitbull strays at the same time. As experienced owners we didn't expect to need help.

Our adopted mixed breed rescue arrived in our home as an anxious, reactive dog, fearful of other dogs, resistant to getting into the car, and could not be left alone without her tearing apart items she could gnaw including her wire crate, which she cut open with her teeth! Underdogs Long Beach transformed our dog into a calmer, communicative and affectionate dog. Trainers Jill Guin and Richie worked patiently with both us humans and our dog. Jill and Richie have applied their positive reinforcement with details that count in teaching: for us that has included explanations of the big picture about canine behavior as well as the details of how you apply that information towards effective teaching. 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. Honestly, we were at first intimidated by the amount of training and the expense, but we quickly realized 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 that includes 4 toddler grandchildren and 3 grand-dogs! Yay Jill and Richie! read more

Getting Jill's help for my 4 month old rescue pup, Riley, was the best thing I could have done for him. I knew pretty quickly that our pup was having problems when he was released from vaccination puppy jail but didn't want to walk outside, struggled with meeting new people, and was reactive toward other dogs. Everyone likes to say "it's just a dog", "he just needs socialization" and you "just need to be consistent and offer structure". I was doing both but still my dog was scared. Jill specializes in force free, modern canine training and working with scared, reactive dogs is her superpower. If you've never heard of force free training, you're going to think it sounds "so California" (just me?) and you're going to feel nuts tossing treats everywhere. Then, if you "just do it consistently" ( see what I did there?) , you're going to look at your dog and you're going to get it. Dogs need us to understand them more and teach them from their perspective, based on science-- not "the way we've always done it" . And you're going to melt down. (Again, Just me?) This is hard and you're going to need a trainer who gets you, too. Jill is optimistic, knowledgeable, and is a game changer. One month in, my pup is making friends with strangers so long as we take our time. He's doing his own thing on walks, so long as we keep our distance, and he's getting comfortable. We still have work to do, but we know what we need to do. Jill is accessible, approachable, and so helpful. If you're ready to do the work and yearn to understand your dog better and help your pup struggle less, Jill is your answer. read more

With each training session we've evaluated and reviewed progress, while determining next steps.

My dog, Chauncey, and I have both benefited from this time of working together. read more

My newest rescue Ziggy came with a few issues. We rescued him from a Shelter. He had leash issues and some minor aggression on leash while approaching other dogs etc. He is very gently and loving with our kids however we wanted him socialized and trained for proper leash behavior. Jill was EXTREMELY knowledgeable on our dogs behavior. She had an amazing grasp on the science of behavior and how to apply that to training and getting the best out of your dog. She uses a science based training. Using positive reinforcement for Ziggy and has gotten us on the right track and now we truly know how to help him be the best dog he can be. Jill got us REAL results and I cant thank her enough... She helped us identify where his anxieties were coming from and how to shape the responses in that environment. Posting a review is the least I can do... I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to seek her training. read more

Jill is WONDERFUL- I was a bit at the end of the rope when I connected with Underdogs Long Beach. I am not an inexperienced dog owner but my super anxious/super reactive corgi, Snickers, could not be reached by anything I'd tried. Enter Jill- she had his number to begin with... and he was instantly calmer, less anxious, and more focused... her tips/adjustments made a difference immediately. I interviewed a lot of trainers before settling on Underdogs LB- and her gentle but firm approach totally works for us, so much so that I bought a package of sessions.... but as they say... the proof is in the pudding... my little guy is the proof! Thanks, Jill! read more

The biggest thing I can say about Jill and Underdogs is that they are great! I have a fearful rescue that Jill came out to help me work with my dog to better function in this world. Jill gave me lots of homework to do which has given my little one a lot more confidence. The techniques Jill uses are so simple and so gentle. There is no harsh punishment. All associations are positive. Just what my dog needed. We continue to work on the things Jill taught us. We can call her whenever we need a refresher. Jill always gets back to us quickly with any questions we may come up with which is nice. We don't have to sit there wondering when we will get an answer. I cannot recommend Underdogs Long Beach enough. read more

When it comes to dedication & passion for their work, Jill takes the cake. She truly cares about each of the dogs that comes through her practice. I had recently adopted a rescue and was planning on doing some in person training sessions, then shelther-in-place/COVID hit! Our rescue is sweet, but has some anxiety and I really want to set him up for success, so wanted to move forward with some type of training, even during quarantine. I had learned about Jill through her (super educational) instagram page and I was so pleased that she was willing to do remote sessions with me and my rescue, Linus! We've now done a total of 4 sessions. Linus is less reactive, calmer, and I've actually been able to clip his nails without him totally freaking out. I purchased the 4 pack to begin with, but plan on purchasing the 12 pack to work more on his anxiety, barking, and reactivity. Thank you Jill for all that you do!! read more

Jill is a master at her craft and with dogs! (All breeds too) I adopted a small breed senior dog that was never shown simple training exercises.

She is patient and full of knowledge. You will be very happy with your experience with her. read more
