About Me

Hi and welcome to HealthiDog.com! I'm Clare and I've been working with dogs for over 10 years, helping owners understand how their dogs think in order to get the best out of their relationship with their pet.

Over the years I have helped numerous owners overcome a myriad of problems that were causing both stress and anxiety for them and their pets. Things such as; basic obedience, excessive barking, aggression and sheep chasing, to name a few, are some of the common problems I come across.

My Interest in dogs began at a very early age; I began with ownership of two Irish Setters that i took to shows as a hobby

I now have two golden retrievers called Oscar and Harvey and a working Border Collie Jack. They are an integral part of the training team. So much that you will often see us working together with problem dogs, or simply walking in the Dales as part of our own exercise regime. People passing the training centre will often see all of us out and about as part of our extended pack, when we have visiting pets.

My methods are kind, understanding and delivered in calm, assertive manner so that I can immediately set the mood for both the dog and the owners. I aim to give you an insight as to how dogs think and learn, so your training of your dog is successful.

I have for several years now been a frequent guest on the BBC Radio, talking about and advising on all aspects of a life with dogs.
