TESTIMONIAL
Claire is a fantastic, knowledgeable professional. Her communication and support is unmatched and we are already very impressed and pleased by the progress our anxious dog has made in a matter of weeks.
la has come on leaps and bounds and is much calmer and settled in a variety of situations. Clare has been fantastic and I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with their dog."
We knew from the minute we met Clare we had made the right choice, she has supported us with Riley every step of the way. 5 stars just aren't enough for the lovely Clare!
Claire has excellent experience with training dogs… a couple of sessions really made a difference with my puppy, would definitely recommend.
We definitely give Clare 5 stars! For us we feel she has really gone above and beyond with our Woody. Without Clare we would have been out of our depth. She is extremely accessible, her communication is excellent!
We have been working with Clare with our 2nd puppy now and she has once again gone above and beyond with support and guidance. We had a bringing your puppy home session and a short one to one before joining the 6 week puppy school which was amazing.
We highly recommend training with Clare. Her classes are enjoyable for both dogs and owners and it is a really relaxed, comfortable environment for everyone to learn in. Our Golden Retriever Elsie has benefited so much from attending, and she absolutely adores Clare!

EXCELLENT Based on 83 reviews Danni Rossi2025-09-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot recommend Clare highly enough! We’ve taken part in both 1-to-1 sessions and puppy classes, the progress Zucca has made has been amazing. She’s learned how to settle at home and outdoors, and we’ve gained the tools and confidence to deal with any situation that comes up. Zucca absolutely enjoys the training too, she even recognises Clare’s voice when we play the recap videos! Clare was incredibly supportive in helping us adjust to life with our new puppy. Her guidance and training methods really made a big difference and turned what could have been a stressful stage into something manageable. We’re so thankful for everything Clare has done for us and for Zucca. We couldn’t recommend her more! Aimee Iveson2025-09-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with our 1-2-1's and they helped us to understand Lilly so much better. Thank you! Fernanda Abatepaulo de Faria2025-08-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare’s professionalism, patience, and clear approach make every class effective and fun. She genuinely cares about both dogs and their owners, and she gives practical, easy-to-follow steps for home practice. Training with Clare never felt stressful — it was always rewarding. I couldn’t recommend her more highly! Thank you, Clare, for the fantastic training sessions! We’ve learned so much under your guidance, and it’s been amazing to watch Bobby’s progress since her first 1:1 lessons at 12 weeks old. Looking forward to the Advanced Class in September! Alex Hook2025-08-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot recommend Clare highly enough! She has been with us and our golden retriever Fergus right from the start. 1-to-1 sessions, puppy classes, adolescent training, and just finished the advanced classes. Her knowledge, patience, and tailored approach have helped us massively, both in the house and in all sorts of situations outside. Especially as we took our dog to work, she really helped us learn to settle him (especially as he loves everyone!) She’s given us the skills and confidence to handle whatever comes our way. Fergus absolutely loves the training. As soon as we pull up he knows where he is and he’s super excited but Clares training approach has meant we can now calm Fergus down with different methods and he absolutely loves his mat! It’s been wonderful to see him develop from puppy classes all the way through to the advance classes. If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares, understands dogs, and makes the process enjoyable for both owners and dogs then you’ve hit the jackpot. We’re so grateful for everything she’s done for us and Fergus! Hannah Ford2025-07-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare has been brilliant. We’ve had 1-1s and group training. Clare clearly has a passion for what she does and seems to live and breath what she teaches. A truly authentic, well trained and knowledgable teacher. As a new dog owner taking on a 1 1/2 year old male lab, who had some reactive tendencies, eating poo fetish and a prey drive, she has helped me to better understand dog behaviour and how to use positive reinforcement training. More importantly she’s helped me build confidence and helped me develop an effective and kind communication strategy with Alfie. I’ve still got lots to learn and will continue training with Clare. Highly recommend!! Christopher Medcalf2025-06-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clair has been so incredibly helpful with helping our Romanian rescue dog gain confidence and less reactive. Her 1-2-1 sessions are so well planned out and there is constant support over messages and extra info given to help in between sessions. I would definitely recommend this to others who are looking to improve their reactive dog. Marlies McBride2025-06-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare’s training techniques have been fantastic for my reactive maltipoo. Her training methods are simple to follow and implement. I’ve seen so much improvement in his behaviour. She’s always very responsive to my questions over WhatsApp in between our 1 2 1 sessions. Thanks Clare! claire sawyer2025-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Claire as my 6 month old German shepherd puppy Isla had become reactive towards People, Dogs, Cars, Bikes,Joggers and basically anything that moved!! Our walks had become horrible 😢 with claires experience ,help and advice we are now enjoying our walks 🥰 at our lowest point I never thought this would be possible. We are now joining one of claires group classes 😀 🐾 I would definitely recommend Good Choice Dog Training Georgia Rockley2025-04-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had such a great experience with Clare from the very beginning. Her approach really celebrates letting dogs be dogs, embracing their natural energy and personality, all while teaching them how to be calm, confident companions. Our golden retriever, Fergus, is full of love and excitement, and she’s helped us work with that in such a positive way. From our puppy prep call to 1:1s, puppy classes, and adolescent training, her support has made all the difference to us being confident dog owners and being able to give him a great life. We feel so grateful to have had her guidance and couldn’t recommend her more! Rebecca Woollard2025-04-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clare is has been brilliant for training our puppy Amber, who is much calmer and has made lots of progress. We have been amazed by her support and depth of knowledge about dog behaviour. We would definitely recommend to anyone.
