“Kai is much happier working and training now, it’s so noticeable that even friends who don’t see him often have commented on how enthusiastic he seems!”
– Caroline, current in-person lesson student
“Cricket has made such improvement with his dog reactivity since we started with Claire it opened up so many new places for us, and I am so excited to start more task training!”
– Mercury, current in-person lesson student
“One of the biggest benefits to choosing Claire over any other business has been her ability to teach ME how to teach Winry. So many owners do the training for you or tell you what you’re doing wrong but never help you get it right. Claire empowers me as the handler to be bold and confident in our training and I’ve noticed a huge difference in Winry’s boldness as a result. The moment I knew I made the right choice was when she had me add in things for Winry to make heel work FUN for her and stressed the importance of paying attention to Winry’s feelings and thresholds and treat her as an equal part of the team!”
– Chelsea, current in-person lesson student
“When approaching Claire with the hopes of evaluating an adult dog for service work, I never expected to find my perfect dog. As someone who could not puppy raise, I reached out to Claire asking to source and evaluate an adult dog who I could then task train for my disabilities. I’d given them a list of my criteria and was shocked when they found me my ideal dog. Breed, personality and temperament were completely up my alley and I feel like I have brought a four-legged best friend into my house, all thanks to Claire’s expertise and thoughtful care. They not only do their job with precision, but with support and love for dogs and handlers as well.”
– Cora, former board and train client
