People’s Dog Training®

If people everywhere had access to dog training, our world would not only look a little brighter, but animal shelters would be a little emptier.

People’s Dog Training®, a Love At First Sit® program, aims to address this need.

People’s Dog Training® is an inclusive humane and science-based dog behavior and training program that comprehensively addresses the mental health and diverse educational needs of all dogs, at every stage of their learning. With a multitude of ways to access our offerings, we cater to every budget and lifestyle.

Our wide-ranging multi-certified dog training and behavior consulting services include private in-person and virtual sessions, engaging group classes, American Kennel Club Family Dog Program, service dog training, and a vibrant online community, “People’s Forum." Our innovative approach ensures that dog training is readily available to all people, fostering harmonious relationships between dogs and their guardians where bright futures can thrive.

What people are saying!

  • "If you're reading this looking for wonderful dog training, hire Carmen. Not only is she a pro trainer, she is extremely professional, punctual, and organized, as well as funny and kind."

    Veronica, Santa Monica

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • "We did a couple private training sessions and jumped into the 5 week beginners dog obedience course. By the end of those 5 sessions, she was a different dog, quite literally. It was a true transformation. It has been a phenomenal impact on my, and her, day-to-day enjoyment of life..."

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • "My rescue pup (Ziggy) and I have taken a few of the group classes and I am so pleased with the teaching style Carmen uses. Ziggy has grown so much since we started classes. He is not as scared and the classes deepen the bond between me as trainer and Ziggy. "

    Patty, Los Angeles

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • "To say that she goes "above & beyond" is an understatement. Not only does she spend plenty of time addressing every issue you may have (and not only dealing with behavior but the underlying cause of the behavior), but she also follows up with an extensive written summary of what she showed you and more. I could not possibly ask for more."

    Stephanie, Santa Monica

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Roxanne, Santa Monica

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • “Between private lessons and group training I feel way more confident in my dogs abilities and that is in a huge part of the attention to detail, support and lessons Carmen and her company put into working with the dogs that are a part of her program.”

    Kate, Santa Monica

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • "Carmen is so fantastic, she truly hears out our concerns about our dog and offers solutions that are individualized to him and also generalizable/feasible to us. She also is willing to answer any questions with have with patience and truly listens to what we are saying. "
