Training & Behaviour Coaching

Clare has, over the years, evolved her own style of positive training which is informed by her continuing education and professional development. Her force-free, ethical methods are guided by science and delivered with compassion, with the well being of your dog at the heart of her practise. Her focus is on helping dogs and their humans using techniques that are simple, kind, effective and, most importantly, fun. She has studied extensively and continues her professional development by attending courses, being part of the worldwide positive online community and participating in workshops, conferences and seminars with renowned force-free, positive trainers and leaders in the field. Her aim is to enhance the dog/human partnership to create a stronger life-long bond based on understanding, respect and empathy. She believes training should be a mutually enjoyable and rewarding experience that is motivating and fun for both you and your dog.

Whether it’s puppy training and socialisation to dealing with an adolescent, or fear-based reactivity and aggression to multi-dog household issues, Clare’s aim is to help you develop a deeper understanding of canine behaviour and

communicate more effectively with your dog; to build trust, responsiveness and a create a more harmonious relationship. As each person is different, so is each dog and Clare will work closely with you to help bring out the very best in your canine companion.

Clare is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), a Puppy Start Right Instructor (Karen Pryor Academy) and most recently, has completed the Aggression in Dogs Master course along with the Canine Reactivity Specialisation, through Heart Dog Trainers.
