Welcome to Clara's Canine Academy
I am a certified VSA Professional Dog Trainer, McTimoney Animal Therapy Practitioner & Chartered UK Dog Training and Behaviour Practitioner. Based in Woking, I offer in-person and online 1-2-1 training sessions, helping people understand and work with their dogs. At Clara’s Canine Academy, I operate solely on positive reinforcement training, upholding a high code of ethics, using reward-based, compassionate methods.
I specialise in addressing and preventing a range of behavioural issues as well as having plenty of experience in common skills such as loose leash walking, recall, house training and many others.
I work with a range of dogs from puppies, rescues and adults to even before you own a dog!
Whatever your training goals are, let's reach them together!

"Clara was a great find... she was brilliant with our puppy and with us as owners who hadn't had a puppy for a long time. She is calm and considered in her approach and always gives excellent feedback and back up material.
I really enjoyed my sessions with Clara and more importantly so did our puppy. We used her to help us set good behaviours for our puppy but that's not it, it is the start of a long relationship."
"Clara is fantastic! I couldn't recommend her highly enough!
Clara helped us to get our puppy settled and started on training. Her reassurance and guidance was so valuable to us - we couldn't have gotten as far as we did in the early days without her.
I look forward to working with Clara lots more in the future as we keep building more skills and confidence "
"Clara helped us with our boisterous spaniel. Her approach was understanding and considerate. She took Benny for a two week board and train. Clara kept us up-to-date with all of her progress with Benny. On her arrival home, we were provided extensive notes for how we can continue training as well as a follow-up consultation. We have been struggling for a long time, her expertise and insight has been invaluable.
​
Would definitely recommend!"
