An excellent hands-on experience with Gail and her assistants all of whom are also very knowledgeable. My dog was particularly challenging as he was not properly socialized as a puppy so he can be aggressive with strange dogs. Gail's techniques to help train your dog really work and her no-nonsense style combined with a great sense of humor made the experience enjoyable even though it's a lot of hard work!! I highly recommend it!!

I have had issues with a difficult, young dog and I finally took the advice of two different friends and called Dr. Gail Clark at K9 Shrink. I am driving an HOUR and a HALF ONE WAY to each session and I can tell you that it is worth the drive!!!! I have had 5 private sessions thus far with Gail and my English Setter, Cricket and I am thrilled with my dog's progress. Cricket would literally try to pull my arm out of the socket each time I would put her on a leash and now, she will walk calmly and even has learned to heel while walking on a hiking trail. I am absolutely amazed. At our most recent session, we were working on the sit and down stay and Cricket did a stay about 5 feet from Gail's cat and it was like a miracle! She stayed and didn't try to eat Gail's cat!!!
Gail teaches you exactly how to work with your dog to get results. She is all business and helps you get what you want out of your dog. She helps you take control and doesn't let you get away with pandering to your dog. She makes sure that you are in charge and the dog knows it. Gail has truly made me a believer and I am happy to give her a 5 star review.

Gail's class is incredible! She is amazing and no BS! She has vast knowledge about dogs and is willing to share any of it with with you to set both you and your dog up for pure success! She had answers for any questions and has incredible help to conduct her flexible class schedules! I would take her class time and time again! I learned so much as did my dog. Her techniques used to help train your dog really do work! No shock collars, no pinch collars, no yelling out of frustration and dragging your dog around, simply you, positive reinforcement and repetition! That's it! She knows dogs! No joke! Go see her NOW!!!! She......is........AWESOME!!!!

We brought our 8 month old golden retriever for the beginning training class. He is a very big, strong dog and I had a difficult time controlling him while walking. After completing the class I am now able to walk him with ease. He is a much better behaved dog and will even obey guests in our home. The class, Gail, and other instructors were all great. I will now have the well-mannered family dog I hoped for.

Dr. Gail I. Clark, the K9 Shrink, is the real dog whisperer! We contacted her for assistance with an 18 month old collie rescue. He came from a backyard breeder, dealing with a severe case of neglect. We were unable to even approach him, as he had never experienced human contact. Within a week of Dr. Clark's guidance he is now like velcro! Wanting to be petted constantly, smiling, and improving every day. Dr. Clark literally saved this beautiful boy's life. Our only regret is that we are several states away and are unable to attend her obedience classes in person. For anyone looking for help with their canine companion look no further than Dr. Clark's K9 Shrink training, she is wonderful! Thank you, Dr. Clark!
