Tom was awesome, he helped my dog earn his K-9 Good Citizen and AKC City certifications. I would recommend them every time to someone looking for help with their pup!

Gina is amazing at discovering tools that may be needed to unlock the door to a dog's mind. Her techniques are easy to replicate when you are not at the facility, perfect for giving out homework. Thank you Gina! Emmy and I appreciate you. Kristi Elmore

Clearwater dog training helped me to understand my dog better and how to play with her. She loves to fetch, I've never seen a dog who loves to play like she does. I'm able to bring her just about anywhere and she really enjoys people Clearwater helped me to socialize her and teach her good manners.
