K9 Shrink LLC

My boyfriend and I took our 1 year-old bulldog to Gail's classes for the first time ever this spring, and the immediate change in him was amazing. He had behavior problems and never listened, after the first class he became so much better. The classes were interesting and the atmosphere was friendly. It was worth every penny and the drive there and back every week. I definitely recommend Gail's classes to anyone who owns or plans on owning a dog.

Gail Clark helped me with a dog I adopted decades ago, and now she is helping our family with our high-maintenance puppy. Her knowledge and skills are amazing - she truly helps us understand why our animals are acting and reacting the way they are. Gail has helped us be better, more responsible dog owners and establish a deep, trusting bond with our puppy. We highly recommend her if you are not reaching your dog!

We brought our Samoyed puppy Koda to K9 Shrink for puppy school. We have been extremely happy with the results. Koda is very high energy for a Samoyed, but the program laid out by K9 shrink really took hold with him. The ratio of trainers to students is excellent, and every one is extremely knowledgeable, and obvious dog lovers to boot. We will be enrolling him in the advanced class and are excited to see him progress even further.

Gail’s dog training class offered more than I expected. She uses a combination of positive reinforcement for desired behaviors and negative consequences for behaviors that are not desired. There were 6 or so dogs in our class and there were 2-3 instructors, in addition to Gail, helping us learn and apply the behavioral training techniques that we were using. The facility was large and never felt cramped. There is a comfortable seating area that my wife and I used when the other was working with our dog. While we had a puppy training, this class is not just for puppies. Some people may think that an older dog is a lost cause when it comes to behavior but that is not the case. There were a few older dogs in our class that we could see improvement in behavior over the course of the class. We had a great time and will be taking the next level of training.

Dr Clark is, by far, the best trainer I've had the opportunity to work with. Her ability to see, and then be able to explain to me in terms I can understand, the small (and sometimes large) mistakes I'm making whilst working with my puppy have made all the difference with his attitude and my relationship with him. I've learned more working with her the past couple of months than I have in my lifetime of owning dogs prior to enlisting her help. I can't think of a better person out there to help anyone with a dog, be it a new puppy or an older dog with issues.
