Dog TRAINING
Supportive and relaxed coaching sessions for owners wanting worry-free walks
Is life with your dog not what you imagined?
Did your pup ace their way through puppy classes, but now they’ve hit adolescence it’s a different story? Or maybe you’ve welcomed home a rescue dog, but somewhere down the line you’re wondering what on earth you’ve done.
You love them with all your heart, but jeez they’re hard work.
Does any of this sound familiar?
Imagine a few months from now, how would it feel..
Extraordinary trainer
I’ve worked with a couple of others before but only Clare has really ‘got’ my lovely but fearful rescue and works with her on a far deeper level. I’ve seen such an improvement in the time we’ve been working with her.
Long may it continue!”
AMANDA WITH XENA
Am I the right trainer for you?
We’ll work well together if:
You feel stuck and overwhelmed – but you’re ready to try something new and start making changes
You see training as an investment in your relationship with your dog
You understand that quick fixes don’t work in the long run, that real results take time and consistency
You’re committed to putting the effort in to get there, you know that progress comes with the practice you put in between sessions
You’re open-minded, curious, and keen to learn alongside your dog
I’m not the right trainer for you if:
You just want the behaviour to disappear, rather than understand the reasons behind it and find out what’s really going on for your dog
In short, I love working with people who are ready to make a real difference for their dog and themselves
We learned so much
During our sessions she helped us to understand that Boo’s barking was not only from anxiety, but sometimes from frustration, too.
We learned so much, not only about Boo and how to help her, through training techniques, exercises and games – which she loves – but also about ourselves. Clare’s reports and plans after each session were invaluable in enabling us to remember what we had discussed.
We now have more confidence to take our cue from Boo, know what she is trying to tell us, and go from there. We have no hesitation at all in recommending Clare.”

What you’ll get when you work with me
A three month training programme, which includes:
Kick-off session: 1 x 90 minutes
Follow-up sessions: 3 x 45 minutes
Catch up calls after each session: 4 x 30 minutes
Bespoke training plans with detailed instructions of exercises and protocols
What you’ll REALLY get when you work with me
Confidence:
“My rescue Collie was reactive towards other dogs and going for a walk was stressful for me and my dog but now I have techniques and I feel safe walking her and can deal with any reactive behaviour.” – Lynn with Evie
A greater understanding of your dog:
“We learned so much, not only about Boo and how to help her through training techniques, exercises and games – which she loves – but also about ourselves. We now have more confidence to take our cue from Boo, and know what she is trying to tell us” – Gill with Boo
Tailored support and flexible solutions:
“Clare is really knowledgeable, and always had ideas on what would help, as well as being willing to adapt them to our collie’s idiosyncrasies and what would fit our routines” – Maxie & Nel
With empathy and compassion:
“I was going through a very difficult period in life and my dog and I were caught in a whirlwind of grief and uncertainty. This contributed to her behaviours, but mine too. I will forever be grateful to Clare for the kindness and understanding she showed at a painful time.” – Amy with Gladys
At a pace that works for you and your dog:
“We have a very nervous rescue dog who takes a long time to feel comfortable around new people, but Clare has been incredibly respectful, patient, and understanding from day one. She has always worked at our dog’s pace, helping build both our dogs’ and our own confidence” – Lora with Helga
And support whenever you need me:
“Clare is super approachable and very responsive to questions via text/email along the way” – Emma with Coco & Charlie
The 3 month programme is £330
Or £175 x 2 if you want to pay in installments
(Some people find that the three month programme gets them to where they want to be.
Others want to continue to work with me longer term, and so I also offer a follow-on package after the initial programme)
How it works
Step one: Book a free 20 minute call
The most common thing people say to me at the end of a discovery call?
“I feel better already”
And that’s not because I’ve told them how to train their dog. (I don’t give out any training advice on discovery calls). But it’s also not a pushy sales call. It’s just an opportunity to talk. And actually be listened to.
You tell me about what’s going on for you and your dog, what issues you’re struggling with. And we chat about how I can help. (And if I don’t think I’m the right person to help you, I will point you in the right direction of someone else who can)
Step two: Sign up for the programme
There is absolutely no pressure to sign up if you decide that this isn’t the right way forward for you.
Step three: Complete a simple questionnaire
You’ll need to fill in a background and behaviour questionnaire ahead of your first session, to tell me a bit more about your dog, so I can start to build a picture of what’s going on for them.
Even for what seems to be a straightforward training issue, it’s always important to consider all aspects of their life, from food habits and health to exercise routines and sleep patterns.
Gathering this information upfront means we can make the most of our first session together.
Step four: We start your programme!
A welcome relief
We first met to work on recall and Moss’s behaviour around some other dogs, both of which improved dramatically over the coming months.
Clare is very personable, knowledgeable and patient and is a pleasure to work with. Moss took to her immediately. The follow up reports she sends after each session are detailed and invaluable, great reminders of how to put the theory into practice.
In summary, I would highly recommend Clare, we wouldn’t engage anyone else. ”
