About SVDC

Personalized training programs for every dog... because every dog is different!

Head Trainer, Elizabeth Watson, CPDT-KA, has dedicated her life to creating a fun, balanced training system that dogs genuinely enjoy. With 20+ years of professional experience working with animals—and a lifetime spent training both dogs and horses for sport, exhibition, and companionship—Elizabeth brings an unmatched level of expertise to her work. Her passion for canine obedience, scent detection, and behavior modification inspires all of the programs at Sno Valley Dog Co.

​

Elizabeth and her husband, fellow trainer Johnny Sawyer, are well respected in their field and actively invest in continuing education. Together, they attend leading canine behavior and training conferences throughout the U.S. and Canada, staying on the cutting edge of modern training methodology.

As the owners and operators of Snoqualmie Valley Dog Co., their mission is simple: provide the highest quality canine care and education—while having fun and building lifelong friendships with the dogs and people in their community.

​

At Sno Valley Dog Co., we use proven techniques, positive leadership, and natural canine communication to help owners understand their dogs and achieve lasting results. Our approach is tailored, structured, and designed to develop well-balanced dogs that thrive at home and out in the world

Every dog is unique—so our training programs are, too. Whether you're raising a new puppy, enrolling in private in-home lessons, pursuing a classic Board & Train, or seeking help with problem behaviors, we’ll design a plan that fits your dog and your goals.

Our flexible programs are for all dogs.
