Burning River K9

We just passed the 4th anniversary of our sweet puppy coming home to us from Burning River K9, and we could not be more grateful to Claire for making this all possible for us. Like many people seeking specialty dog training like this, we had some very specific requests and requirements for a service dog. Having a small child in the home, we were especially concerned about safety -- I've always been a little nervous around big dogs, but -- wow -- meeting and knowing two of Claire's larger dogs (Dragon and Sammy) has really given me a very different perspective about that!!! It's true what they say: it's all about training! Big and small dogs alike, Claire definitely has that "whisperer" thing going on! Our pup has been the perfect companion to our family's needs, and our experience with Claire is what really made that possible. As professional, Claire is a no-nonsense, direct communicator with a wealth of knowledge about a huge variety of dog training strategies and critical care directives. But on a personal level, she is also a great listener -- so kind and patient with us, our kiddo, and our pup. Highly recommend service. Thank you a million times over, Burning River K9.

I was lost prior to bringing my highly reactive dog, Sadie (2 yr old German shepherd/cattle dog mix), to Claire at Burning River K9. As a new dog owner, I was in over my head and didn’t know what to do. However, in just a few months, Claire was able to teach me the tools to identify and control Sadie’s triggers. The training has transformed Sadie into a new dog and me into better dog owner. Sadie loves her time training with Claire and the special attention that she receives during our sessions. Claire has also been a great lifeline for me when we are not at our training sessions to give me guidance on Sadie’s weird little quirks and strange behavior situations. I’m so grateful to have met Claire and super excited to see Sadie’s progress as we begin scent training!

Claire has always been wonderful to work with - both via online sessions and in person. I live in Florida and I was more than happy to make the trip all the way to Ohio to drop off my SDiT with her for public access work along with some further scent training for blood sugar alert. My girl handled her very first flight like a total champ after a two month B&T, and I know I owe much of our success today as a team to Claire's amazing training. I will absolutely be working with her again going forward into the future.
