New policy change for 2026! 🌞

For the safety and comfort of both dogs and humans, reactivity training programs will be offered October through May only. No outdoor sessions will be scheduled June through September or when a heat advisory is in effect.

That means now is the time to get started on solving your dog's reactivity issues or leash issues while the weather is amazing! Let's get to work! 🐾

Lately there’s been some misinformation floating around about protection dogs, mostly in the positive reinforcement community, for some reason. I don't usually make posts like this, but I will defend my passion, which is well trained protection dogs.

A true, stable protection dog is not a danger to its family or to strangers that have no ill intent. In fact, when bred with sound genetics and trained properly, these dogs are among the most trustworthy companions you can have.

The key is responsible breeding and good training.
A well-balanced protection dog should have clear drives, solid nerves, and excellent obedience. That takes expertise, time, and commitment, which is why a fully trained personal protection dog can cost $50,000–$75,000.

Good training isn’t cheap, and cheap training isn’t good.

About Elizabeth Sandoval CTDI

Choice. Relationship. Consent. These may not be the first words you think of when you think of dog training. To be honest, "animal trainer" may not be the best word to describe all of what I do. I am also a coach and a teacher for both humans and animals, a relationship facilitator, and an animal communicator. I help people understand their animals so that they can enrich their pets lives, teach them skills to cooperate and live in harmony, and communicate to them with kindness.

For the last decade, I have dedicated my career to studying and specializing in a force-free, relationship based approach that puts choice and consent at the forefront of all animal interactions. Positive reinforcement training is more than just adding a few treats and rewards; it's a mindset.

I do not teach you how to "dominate" your dog or make them "obey" your every command. There is no magic and little imagination in leash popping, pushing an animal around, or intimidating them into compliance.

Instead, I want to teach you how to interact with and train your pets so that they WANT to engage with you and perform for you, even in the most impossibly distracting environments. There is no unpleasant consequence for the animal for not participating; only pleasant and fun consequences when they choose to engage. The magic happens when they make that choice, over and over again.
