FirstBarkWe are so happy we chose to work with Becca. She taught us not only how to train our dogs, but the “why” behind their behavior and body language. We’re so grateful for the knowledge she gave us and the confidence we now have in being able to get our dogs behaving the way we want. We have seen significant changes in our dogs the last several weeks and can’t wait to see their progress continue. 😊

I always looked forward to our weekly lessons. Becca uses techniques that are reward based, confidence building and effective at changing behaviors. Max was excited to see her. Max is a dog who has some leash resistance and little dog syndrome. I learned about different ways to harness these excited reactions. Like all good things, it takes practice. Behaviors are not changed overnight. I highly recommend Clementines. It was a positive and enjoyable for both max and I.
I absolutely love Clementine Dog Training! I have learned how to handle my puppy with positive reinforcement training. My puppy loves going to training and that makes me so happy! Best trainer ever! I highly recommend!
Becca exceeded our expectations. She really does an amazing job explaining every single detail we need for our dog to succeed in his training. We loved the positive training, and our puppy loved it too. We’re definitely happier with our pup now that we understand his behavior and have a clear path to correct it. We would, and have recommend her. Thanks Becca!
Becca was great to work with! I would recommend her! She was very knowledgeable. My dog and I have progressed and learned so much over our training sessions.
