Hi, I'm Claire!

My adventure in the dog world officially kicked off in 2015 as a dog walker, and let's just say, I've been hooked ever since! Over the years, I've worn just about every hat you can imagine in Chicago's pet care scene. From working the front desk at busy dog daycares to stepping in as a handler, medicator, trainer, feeder, and even spending time in a veterinary setting, I've seen (and cleaned) it all.

These incredibly diverse experiences gave me a profound appreciation for canine health, communication, and behavior. It became crystal clear to me that I wanted to help dogs thrive, which inspired my commitment to positive, science-based training. So, in 2021, I officially took the leap into training professionally!

I've had the absolute privilege of studying under some of the most respected leaders in the industry, and I'm a total nerd for continued education. My approach is rooted in ethics, compassion, and evidence-based, Fear-Free methods. My ultimate goal? Helping you and your dog build a stronger, more joyful relationship built entirely on understanding and trust.
