Formative foundations to National Champions, we do it all.

Liz is well-known as not only a top competitor on the national agility stage, but as an exceptional instructor to those seeking to be the best at their dog sport of choice.

We focus on the core concepts of learning theory, motivation and mental management to get the best out of all teams.

Liz’s current in-person students are teams that are competing at the elite levels. We teach novice teams and foundation skills via local and national seminars, and via online classes.

We focus primarily on both the training and mental skill sets and routines needed for UKI, ISC and international-style agility, as well as the foundation skills that are often overlooked by traditional agility instruction. The more competent the trainer, the faster and more fluid the training process is for the learner. Today, the list of behaviors needed to compete at the highest levels is vast, but efficiency in teaching equals efficiency in learning, and that is what I particularly love to spend time with my students on.

At this time, my classes and private lesson slots are all full. If you are interested in getting on the waitlist, please feel free to contact me with a little bit of info about yourself and your teammate. I will be happy to waitlist you, or provide referrals for local trainers in San Diego and Southern California.

Reviews

“My dog and I took first place in Pentathlon at the West Coast Open, and I could not have done it without the insight and support that Liz gave me.”

“Since working with Liz, I feel that my handling skills and confidence on challenging UKI and ISC courses have improved substantially. She gives every student individualized feedback. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with her.”

“Learning these new cues is helping me to communicate with my dogs—it was so amazing!”

“I’m a little bit sad to finish your course because I had a great time by learning in your class. It was the best dog training class I’ve even taken.”
