Lomita Obedience Training Club (LOTC) is a nonprofit dog training club run by volunteers and is located in the South Bay area of Los Angeles, California. We have been providing companion dog training classes and competitive sports dog training classes to the community since 1954.


Our dog training classes include puppy socialization & manners, companion dog manners, tricks, dog obedience, AKC Rally, AKC Conformation and Parkour for your dog. Most dog training classes are offered through Lomita Parks and Recreation, held in a secure, fenced area, and Rolling Hills Estates Parks and Recreation.


Our instructors are club members with years of experience and have helped hundreds of families train their dogs. They use training techniques based on positive reinforcement and marking desired behavior. They can also provide consultation services for special problems.


I’ve been a member of LOTC since 1988 but have been training dogs since I was a young girl. I’ve also bred Miniature Pinschers and achieved a variety of competitive titles on them including a Utility AKC Obedience title. If you know Min Pins…you know that’s not an easy accomplishment!


LOTC provides me the opportunity to share my experiences and the knowledge I’ve developed over the years. Especially the fact that training can be fun for you AND your dog! The current force free methods are very effective and a great approach for achieving your goals. I also enjoy interacting with the families from our communities and ensuring they make the best possible start with their new puppies and dogs.

“I have studied and advised on dog behavior for over 30 years, so this is an important topic for me. I have referred my clients exclusively to Brian since he introduced his dog-training program to me back in 1992. He has a unique ability to see the basis for a dog's problem behavior and then to offer practical solutions to address the problem. I have not seen another trainer consistently deliver the results that Brian has delivered, and continues to deliver, year after year. I am confident in referring my clients and their dogs for his expertise regardless of the type of problem encountered, from simple housebreaking issues to the most severe forms of aggression. I consider Brian to be a valuable asset to my business because he helps my clients keep dogs they might otherwise have relinquished due to their problem behavior. My clients appreciate that I care enough to refer them to someone with expertise in such a critical field, and they enjoy counting their dog among the multitudes that make up Brian's track record of success. I also practice what I advise - my family trained with Brian when we acquired a new puppy, to make sure all of us treated her in the consistent manner that leads to proper behavior.”

“Brian Lee transformed our frightened, cautious, non-potty trained, pound puppy into a confident, loving and well behaved boy. Brian was able to accomplish this feat with surprisingly little effort on our part. As a result of Brian's expertise, our dog Sparky accompanies us to work most days and is a pleasure for the staff and others to be around.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brian! I have over 25 years of animal training experience and to this day I still go to Brian for any behavioral questions I have regarding the animals I am training. Brian has over three decades of experience at the highest possible level and I have recommended him without hesitation for the last 20 years that I have had the pleasure of knowing him. His no-nonsense and straightforward approach makes total sense and is refreshing in today’s training world.”

Brian Lee is the true Dog Whisperer. I was amazed by his ability to connect with my puppies the first time he came to the house, and they obeyed his every look and gesture instantly. It was incredible when a single snap of his fingers from the 3rd floor got them to stop barking immediately in the backyard. What was more amazing is that he trained me to have the same authority! ... They are now 2.5 years old, and everything he taught me still works perfectly. They are happy, well-adjusted, well-behaved dogs...which makes me a happy and grateful dog owner!

"If you do everything I say, you will have a good dog by the end." I laughed... But he was right. It must be the thousands of dogs he has helped. He's saving dogs lives and restoring family dynamics. I can't stress enough how great he's been for us. Worth every penny."

None of what Brian does is conventional, and everything we learned was immediately effective and beneficial to us raising our puppy.

As far as dog trainers go, Brian is clearly on a different level. He understands dogs better than most people understand themselves.

We were referred to Brian when our recently "rescued", Flat Coat Retriever, George, started to exhibit aggressive behavior towards visitors. Brian was able to explain the behavior and provided simple strategies to address all problems. Progress was achieved immediately and was not reversed.
