I loved that the classes were accelerated and we covered a lot of material in four weeks! With Dr. Clark and her assistants we got personalized attention that we never would have received in a big pet store class. The behavior of our pooch is completely different from when we started the class. Our doggie has been re-homed a few times and we had trouble getting her to obey commands from women; however, from the first time we met Dr. Clark our doggie knew she had to pay attention to me. She now has model behavior on a leash (unless a rabbit is around, but that's an advanced class!) Looking forward to learning more advanced techniques.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Gail Clark and K9 Shrink LLC. We have done classes and individual training and I recommend both highly. We have a challenging dog that we rescued from a difficult situation, and Dr. Clark's guidance and teaching have been invaluable. I only wish I had found K9 Shrink sooner. Other trainers and classes just didn't work for a dog like ours, but we've seen real results with Dr. Clark's methods. If we get another dog, I'll only work with K9 Shrink!

After just a four week Beginning Obedience class, my dog is paying attention to me and obeying commands! What I like about Dr. Clark's training is that you learn 'why' the skill is needed and then teach your dog how to accomplish the skill. I am now back for the next level of training!

Gail,
I was nervous about coming to class for the first time. I had never been to a dog class and just worked with the 2 previous dogs on my own. It has been a HUGE learning experience for me. Coral has improved tremendously, but I think the growth was even more for me as the owner. We felt comfortable immediately in the class and with all the instructors. It was a true commitment to participate each week and well worth the effort. I just wish I could express how much we enjoyed the whole thing! Thank you so much and see you this summer!!

I have known Gail for a few years now. She is very knowledgeable about her business and the dogs. My good friend Karen has had great things to say of
Gail as well. I would recommend the K9 Shrink!
