Testimonials

  • “Claire is an amazing trainer....she really helped me with some issues I had with my puppy. Very approachable and knowledgeable. Excellent communication throughout. Highly recommend and would definitely use again if needed"

    Clare Morton

  • "Safe to say that Claire and her team changed Winnie, my family and my lives for the better! She was recommended to me by my local vet after wrestling with resource guarding issues and I was immediately filled with hope and comfort. Her guidance, training and support are/were top notch and we have been able to settle into a 'new norm' with some pragmatic advice to follow. I would recommend to all who will listen!"

    Fay Hitchenor

  • "We’d definitely recommend Claire to anybody needing behavioural support for their dog! We were really struggling with our dog Betsy demand barking near constantly. Claire was very knowledgeable, reassuring and kind, and only used positive training methods. She helped us to realise the cause for Betsy’s behaviours and showed us how to address this. We now see these behaviours very rarely (a couple of times a month compared to several times an hour previously). We felt very well supported and Claire has provided ongoing support, e.g. for a planned ferry trip which Betsy would have found too overwhelming without Claire’s support. Betsy is now a much calmer and happier dog, and we are much less stressed!"

    Luca Steel

  • "Fantastic puppy classes, reassuring and instilled confidence in dealing with my puppy. Professional too. Claire was clear and easy to understand. The puppies liked her and would happily go with her for different demos."

    Sarah Sloreti

  • "We have recently had support from Claire with our reactive cockapoo, Digby. Having Claire visit us at home and come out on a walk with us to see first hand the anxiety that was driving the behaviours was very helpful. The clear strategies that Claire gave us, that were tailored to Digby’s individual needs, have had a really positive impact. After just a few weeks, we have seen a huge improvement in his behaviour and it’s now a pleasure to take him for a walk! 😊"

    Nicola Ives

  • The training sessions we did with Claire are truly the best thing we have done for Archie and we cannot thank her enough!
