About Us
Clare Swanger knew for a long time that she should work professionally with dogs. Her dog Lindsey provided the catalyst. He was wonderful in every way -- except Wow did he pull on the leash!
Searching for a gentle, effective approach that supported Lindsey and their bond led Clare to the Tellington TTouch® Method of Training. She completed the two-year certification program and became a Senior Practitioner in 2015. Clare continues her professional development in leading, force-free approached to animal welfare, behavior and training.
Clare is committed to enhancing dogs' lives and facilitating harmonious guardian/dog relationships. She respects each animal as an individual. Her wholistic approach employs a suite of gentle, effective techniques. People and dogs receive equal respect and understanding.
Clare works in person and virtually with private clients and teaches classes and workshops. She also travels-to-train. In Missouri and Idaho she taught staff and volunteers at animal shelters and was hired to work with special needs dogs. Clare is available to consult, coach and teach at shelters/rescues, professional dog associations and training programs, private groups and veterinary hospitals,
On two occasions Clare had the honor of presenting and teaching in-person and virtually for annual national conferences of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT).
Clare is a member of the Pet Professional Guild, and Tellington TTouch® Guild. She is also a member by invitation of the International Women’s Forum, an organization with 7,000+ members in 33 nations that builds better leadership across careers, continents and cultures.
