Elizabeth, or Liz, Randall grew up in North County San Diego, and has worked with animals her whole life. Growing up in a dog- and horse-centric family, she was an avid, competitive equestrienne by age nine. From riding ponies to Baskin Robbins in Solana Beach at age five, to working with a herd of more than 100 horses on a guest ranch in Wyoming in her twenties, to flying across the country to compete in New York City at the Westminster Agility Championship with her rescued pit bull mix Phineas, she truly understands what it means to have complex and fulfilling relationships with animals.

Customer Reviews
“Thank you so much for a wonderful experience in puppy school for our miniature doxie!!! We brought her to you immediately after we got her, at about 9 weeks old, and we are so impressed how well trained and socialized she has become during your 10-pack puppy program!!!
The whole team were always polite, professional, straight-forward, courteous and honest about her training from day 1, which we appreciated so much! We were delighted with the impact of her training on a daily basis.
Robin and Courtney were not only excellent trainers, they gave us exceptional advice on how to carry over her lessons to home and even great additional advice on food, activities, other home issues, etc. They were generous with their time, often staying overtime to make sure all our questions were answered.
The special training sessions just for us were extremely helpful as well, we follow this advice at home all the time. We really appreciated the daily “report cards” as well, which our wonderful trainer Robin wrote up, that made us feel like we were there in person at the lessons —- well done!”
