Testimonials & Success Stories
" "Thanks so much, Clare! You have given us the confidence to know we can raise great doggies with consistent work."
~ Muffy, Idaho ~ "There is no 'quick fix' when it comes to parenting a pup. Clare is amazing at patiently showing the path to a heathy dog/parent relationship and to helping train exemplary behavior." ~ Tim Wolff, Idaho ~ Beyond learning the TTouches themselves, this class provided an opportunity to connect with other humans and their animals in a supportive way that is quite unique. The two-day format provided time to deep-dive into both philosophy and technique while bonding with others who care deeply about their pets, and who are willing to do the work to empower them to live well in our human-centered world. I recommend this class for anyone who would like to add a bit of kindness to the world and be able to love their pet a little harder each day.” ~ Lalena, Oregon ~ |

“My dog Arty came to me 3 months ago and is the best dog. She started exhibiting some reactivity. This seminar not only gave me tools to continue to connect with her and help to support her, it also gave me more resources as a trainer. I would highly recommend this seminar for anyone interested in connecting more with their dog. I’m really excited to implement the tools I’ve learned.”
~ Danna Nieto, CPDT-KA, Portland OR ~ |
“It was beautiful to see how relaxed this dog from a puppy mill was becoming after just one session.”
~ Individual client, Sun Valley, Idaho ~ |
“Before this workshop, Adra was incredibly reactive and fearful. And we both had very few tools to deal with her reactivity. Obedience classes have been helpful but we felt like we needed more. TTouch and wrapping showed immediate improvement and Adra calmed down and started making better choices almost immediately.”
~ Laurel Hess, Washington ~ “I was interested in the TTouch technique from the description of the class and it resonated for what I wanted for my dog. The gentle, mindful and calming touches really did calm my very energetic 2-year old puppy. There was plenty of time for everyone’s questions and practice with the exercises. I felt this was an excellent class.”
~ Kathryn, Idaho ~ “My dog usually shows anxiety when in a room with strangers and dogs, but by the end of day one with some touch and leash techniques under my belt my dog was able to settle and not worry about the activities around him. It’s refreshing to see. Excited to try what I’ve learned with my clients’ dogs and my sisters’ dogs.”
~ Wendy Wong, Oregon ~ |
“I had an increased awareness of my dogs needs so I can deal with her stresses and behaviors. I realize it takes time and consistency to make changes. The calming effects of TTouch make a huge difference in her reactions.”
~ Susan Fierman, Hailey, ID ~ |

~ Jessica Renon, Washington ~ “This is such a great learning environment for both the pet and owner. So much useful information was demonstrated that each person could take with them and use today.”
