Dog Training By Lola (DTBL) is a positive reinforcement-based dog training business founded by Lola, a dedicated trainer with a deep personal connection to dogs and a focus on compassionate, individualized training. She helps dog owners build trusting, communicative relationships with their pets using science-backed, reward-based methods. DTBL specializes in service dog training and supports individuals with disabilities, including invisible disabilities like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and dysautonomia (POTS/HPOTS). Training is tailored to each dog’s unique needs, whether they are a puppy, a rescue, or a service dog candidate. Lola also offers canine scent work, behavior modification, and puppy raising services, all designed to foster confidence and reduce stress for both dogs and their humans.

Services are available in-person in University Heights and surrounding San Diego neighborhoods, with in-home and video sessions offered worldwide. Training takes place in public locations for socialization, and travel fees apply outside the local area. DTBL emphasizes a “whole dog” approach, recognizing the emotional and physical needs of both dog and handler.

Lola’s mission is to help humans better understand their dog’s communication and support them through life together, creating happier, more balanced relationships. She is deeply involved in disability and service dog advocacy, making DTBL a trusted resource for those navigating complex health conditions alongside canine companionship.
