FirstBarkClearwater dog training helped me to understand my dog better and how to play with her. She loves to fetch, I've never seen a dog who loves to play like she does. I'm able to bring her just about anywhere and she really enjoys people Clearwater helped me to socialize her and teach her good manners.

What are some signs that my dog needs professional training?
Behaviors that may signal the need for professional training include persistent behavioral issues (e.g., aggression, excessive barking, fearfulness), inability to follow basic commands, or any behavior that puts the dog or others at risk. Our professional trainers can provide personalized guidance and support. Please give us a call to schedule a complimentary behavior evaluation.

What is the best age to start training a dog?
Training can start as early as 8 weeks old. Puppies are highly receptive to learning at a young age, making it an ideal time to introduce basic commands and socialization.

Is it ever too late to start training a dog?
It's never too late to start training! Here at Clearwater Dog Training, we accept dogs of all ages and specialize in training rescue dogs. While puppies may learn more quickly, adult dogs can also learn new behaviors and commands with patience and consistency.

We rescued a Cane Corso that had not been abused but just neglected his first 7 months because he was just too strong for his original owners who were unable to control him and provide critical early socialization. We got the guidance we needed to get him adjusted to a regular routine and work through his normal development as a puppy and he is now a different dog. But without the direction Clearwater provided us I don't think we could have got to where we are today. He went from barely manageable to wonderful k9 citizen. Our neighbors call out to him when we go by, the kids all love him and he's a joy to take out in public. He's a year and a half now and still a puppy in so many ways but without Clearwaters help I doubt we could have made it.

We had a wonderful experience working with Tom and Gina at Clearwater. Their years of working with dogs, their patience with their owners, and their ability to see both owner and dog clearly, gave us confidence in working with our two dogs. We have one shy dog and one highly reactive dog, and both Tom and Gina gave us hope that we could work with commands and behaviors. I highly recommend Clearwater Dog Training.
We got Belinda from Gina in 2015. She is not with us anymore but she was the sweetest mama and foster mama ever. Gina rescued her for a kill shelter just in time. We have been going to Clearwater for their Halloween and Christmas parties since. I do recommend Clearwater for boarding, training, and finding your best friend.

A good trainer should approach his task calmly, displaying an even disposition. Unfortunately Tom seemed unable to control himself, and raised his voice during every training session. He said that dogs respond to the energy they sense from the humans around them. Given Tom's demeanor noted above, he should have been able to control himself better, because my dog and I became extremely agitated by the end of every training session. I am a disabled adult and Tom was made aware of this before our sessions commenced. He should have been more understanding, but seemed unable to do so. On one occasion, his wife, Gina, let three puppies into the room without my consent. My dog felt threatened and immediately backed into a corner and displayed her teeth. She has never displayed her teeth before or since and plays nicely with other dogs. I have twenty-five years experience in dog day care and that is unacceptable behavior. The overall experience was very disappointing. I was looking forward to a positive experience, but that turned out not to be the case. Raised voices and intimidation should never be part of the learning experience.
