A little about me.

Elizabeth, or Liz, Randall has lived and worked with animals since early childhood. Growing up in a dog- and horse-centric family, she was an avid, competitive equestrienne by age nine. Throughout high school and college years, she continued to dabble in a variety of equine endeavors, including multiple summer stints at a ranch in the Big Horn mountain range in Wyoming. She worked in the sports industry for ten years, following her love for the outdoors. In her mid-thirties, upon finding her hands full with a new rescue dog that operated “outside the box” in the behavior department, she simultaneously discovered clicker-training and the sport of dog agility. These two revelations quickly changed her career trajectory from sports marketing to living wholeheartedly in the animal training world.

Using the most current, positive reinforcement-based training methods, Liz has held her Certified Pet Dog Trainer credential (CPDT-KA) since 2011, and works regularly with both high level behavior modification and canine sport clientele, both locally in Southern California, and across the country.

Liz competes locally and nationally in agility with her dogs. She and her dogs have won and podiumed at the UKI US Open, the UKI West Coast Open, multiple UKI Cups and Classics, and multiple USDAA Regional events. Liz works with clients in the San Diego, California area, at private facilities across the US, and online, including via CleanRun.com. She loves to teach her students the importance of learning theory, how to better observe their dogs, and technical training mechanics.

Liz has also competed with and titled her dogs in AKC agility, AKC obedience, NACSW nosework, and barn hunt.

She also stays informed and educated on the ever-evolving practices of dog training, behavior modification, and behavior analysis. She has attended dozens of lectures and seminars of many of the pre-eminent leaders of the animal training industry, including graduating from Dr. Susan Friedman’s Living and Learning with Animals course, as well as completing a week studying in-person under Ken Ramirez in his Dive Deep; An Advanced Training Course. Ongoing, continuing education is critical component of Liz’s work, and she is a lifelong student and learner.

Her true love is being well off the beaten path out in nature with her dogs.
