At C & C K9 Training, we believe true obedience isn't built on constant micromanagement, lifelong corrections, or endless bribery. Guided by the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) framework, our relationship-based approach focuses on building a deep foundation of trust and cooperation. By using positive reinforcement—utilizing food, affection, toys, and environmental freedom—we empower you and your dog to move beyond transactional commands and step into a lifetime of mutual understanding and genuine partnership.

"Claire and C & C K9 training have been absolutely wonderful for my dog Winter Bear! Winter is a 15-month-old Shiba Inu and can be a bit stubborn and wild - but Claire is the type of trainer that builds a unique and personal relationship with each and every dog instead of taking a one-size-fits all approach. She is patient, perceptive, extremely knowledgable, and non-judgmental. Winter attends Claire's daycare and training 1-2 times per week. She absolutely loves being with Claire and her little pack of animals. As soon as we arrive to Claire's block she eagerly runs toward her front door. I know that she gets to socialize, play, and learn whenever she is with Claire. Claire takes her on 1-2 mile walks, provides enrichment activities, allows for plenty of park time, works on specific commands with her, and has even done some basic agility training. I can already see so much improvement in my pup including her recall, her willingness to drop balls and toys immediately when I ask (even things she has stolen from other dogs), and her ability to sit and wait for a treat instead of jumping up! When I take Winter to Claire's daycare I know she is going to be cared for, mentally stimulated, get exercise, and have a safe and wonderful time. Claire builds trust with you and your pup, communicates clearly, and even sends pictures throughout the day if you want little updates. I highly recommend her daycare and training!"

"A truly friendly and down to Earth dog trainer. Claire is thorough with her training to assure the dogs in her programs are able to thrive and be success. She also assures that any animal in her care is give the most love and respect. She communicates well when it comes to answering any question, comment or concern you may have. The best thing about this trainer in my opinion is the motivation to train the best dog possible. She is phenomenal."

We had went through the evaluation process with Claire. The process was smooth and she was able to work with our schedule even though it had to change due to weather issues! The evaluation itself went good, and we were happy with our experience!
