We recently took our 5 month old Goldendoodle to training with Gail. What an amazing experience! in 4 weeks, there were several topics covered - beyond the basics. I appreciate Gail and her team training us pet parents as well as showing us how to train our pups. The team was attentive, making sure we are training correctly, and always there to help. Aside from the helpfulness, everyone was so kind, understanding and knowledgeable. The small class environment was great as well. We will be back for more training, and I suggest everyone with a dog (of any age) take them to Gail's class!

Daisy is our 3rd Labrador and the first two labs were a breeze to train. Not Daisy. She is head-strong, stubborn, doesn’t listen, injured both my husband and I by pulling extremely hard during walks because she is strong. We were so blessed to find Gail. She has a gift of reading a dog and customize a plan to fix the issues. Not only does Gail work with your dog but she guides you into getting the results you want. We had lost hope and felt Daisy was a lost cause. Gail never gave up on Daisy and encouraged us that Daisy would get better and through the training that we would bond together and that is true. Daisy has made leaps and bounds improvements and the dog we showed up with on our first day of training is long gone. This is Gail’s passion and it really shows with Daisy! Thank you Gail - we are grateful.

I am beyond grateful to be working with Gail, I had been training my dog Bear for a while working on some behavioral issues and was really struggling to see any progress. When I started training with Gail I noticed progress from the first lesson. I hadn't been able to walk close to any dogs due to Bears barking and aggressive behavior, I am happy to say that Bear took a walk next to another dog the other day! I was loosing hope that that day would come and am beyond excited that Bear and I are now reaching our goals.

OMD! My dogs have been pushing to see through the gate and apparently loosened it enough so that Cooper hit it running and squeezed through. I was watching and called but he was gone. I ran inside, grabbed a cookie treat and leash and was out the door. I called and he glanced back and I knew if I chased him I’d lose him. I’m too old for racing. So I plopped myself down and called, “COOKIE!” and showed him the treat and continued to entice him with the treat. Luckily I have some high value treats and he came up to get it. I carefully put out my other hand low and started to scratch his head, then neck, then grabbed his collar as he took the treat. Saved!!!!
Thanks to Gail Clark for this training trick. It worked again. I made immediate repairs to the gate using aluminum siding piece that won’t work loose (I hope). K9 Shrink Dog Training, FTW!

Gail is an amazing instructor. She was able to help my husband and I learn the proper ways to train our rescue dog and got both of us on the same page. It just isn't about training our dog but training ourselves as well. We will keep going back for more classes.
