I am so glad I chose Clever Canine! Best decision! Teresa is amazing, she is a dog whisperer for sure. My puppy has learned a lot, and...more importantly, she has taught ME, how to train her. Seems easy and common sense, but I really didn’t know. Now I do. She has a lot of videos, PDFs and worksheets, which are so helpful.
I started working with Teresa when my Papillon had fear issues when I first got her. Teresa has an incredible knowledge of dog behavior, and the techniques she taught me quickly dissipated my dog’s fear. She uses an entirely positive training method that focuses on the dog’s well-being. Thanks to Teresa’s guidance, within a year, my dog loves people, and we are getting ready for the Canine Good Citizenship test and are going on to compete in obedience trials.
Teresa - is an amazing dog trainer (owners too!) with impressive credentials! We have been working with Teresa for about a year and my puppy obtained her Canine Good Citizen title at 11 months with Teresa's help, we now are training for therapy dog certification. She only uses positive reinforcement training and her expertise in animal behavior really shows and helps me understand what to do to help my dog and I succeed
