We teach puppies, adolescent and adult dogs to live calmly and confidently in our world using gentle, positive, force-free techniques that improve behavior and well-being. Dogs and people receive equal respect and understanding.
Our comprehensive approach considers the dog's physical, mental and emotional well-being. We address underlying causes of concerning behavior. As root causes are identified and resolved, many behaviors transform, focus improves and learning can accelerate. The results are calm, confident, resilient, happy dogs, and stronger human/animal bonds. Read on to learn about our Programs: Integrated Puppy, Awesome Adolescents, and Comfortable Adult Dogs |

My puppy was a handful...
“I hired Clare to help guide our high energy puppy through adolescence. Bula is great fun, and very sweet and loving, but wow was she a handful! Clare taught us a variety of approaches to calm Bula, help her focus and improve self-control. Clare also taught Bula to walk nicely on a leash, and me how to use a harness so Bula’s neck wouldn’t be strained. Now our outings are much more pleasant than being pulled down the street! Clare worked with us off and on for two years whenever I’d call with a question or issue. She also continued Bula’s training when we travelled. We are happy to report that Bula has matured into a wonderful adult dog, just as energetic and endearing as ever, but easier and better mannered. Clare’s help was pivotal." -Anne, Idaho |
