Testimonials
“I have worked with Claire extensively and her skills, knowledge, and love of dogs is always very apparent! She helped us so much with our Belgian Malinois in obedience, and exposing us to elements of scent, agility and dock diving (our pup won a medal in a competition she made us aware of!) She also encourages and supports both the “student” and handler, which in my case was invaluable.”
– Client
“Claire has always been wonderful to work with – both via online sessions and in person. I live in Florida and I was more than happy to make the trip all the way to Ohio to drop off my SDiT with her for public access work along with some further scent training for blood sugar alert. My girl handled her very first flight like a total champ after a two month B&T, and I know I owe much of our success today as a team to Claire’s amazing training. I will absolutely be working with her again going forward into the future.”
– Client
“I can’t say enough good things about Claire! From the moment we started working together, she became a friend. She has an incredible gift for understanding dogs (and their humans). She has exceeded every expectation I had — and then some. Her patience, knowledge, and genuine passion for what she does shines through in every session.”
