Testimonials
We work with Claire Horvat for puppy training for our puppy, Mabel. Claire is the best! She is extremely knowledgeable and patient. She is able to use a variety of teaching styles with Mabel and with us as her owners to help work toward our training goals. Claire works with Mabel in our home and on leash training in the neighborhood. She has been very flexible with our schedule, she is professional, and she is an all-around sweet and kind person. We would highly recommend Claire to anyone who is looking for dog training!

We’ve been working with Claire H for the last couple months and have had a great experience! As an owner to a highly anxious, 8 y/o dog I was nervous about what to expect, but Claire has been so warm, kind, and realistic while teaching us some strategies to begin with. I’ve already felt my relationship with my dog improve as a result of her recommendations. I appreciate that Claire also highlights my dogs personality, which brings some lightness and fun to our training sessions. Would recommend Claire!

We just completed the puppy pawzibilities course at Anything is Pawzible with Mario, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From day one, Mario created a warm, welcoming, and positive environment for both pups and people. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and caring, and his passion for what he does shines through in every session.
