Testimonials

“Clare has been an absolutely brilliant coach for my Dutch Shepherd and myself. Her courses keep me focused, inspired, and continually progressing. I’ve attended a few in person scent training sessions and nothing has compared to the personal feedback and support she gives. I love to problem solve and try different things and Clare is so helpful with that – she has given me many (many many) insightful thoughts and observations that I have then been able to integrate into my ideas and training. She is thorough and generous with her knowledge, and I simply cannot recommend her training enough. It has been one of the best things I’ve spent money on for my dog.”

Emma

“Wow Clare has really shaped my understanding – not just of scent work, but of my dog and the way she works. These sessions have helped me tune more into how she works, how she processes challenges, and how I can better support her through thoughtful hide placements and encouragement.

What I appreciate most is Clare’s patience, helpfulness, and generosity with her knowledge. Her depth of understanding is matched only by her kindness, Clare really knows how to help those dogs that really are extra special in their needs. Thanks to her, I’ve grown not only as a handler but as a partner to my dog, very grateful for this opportunity.”
