FirstBarkI found Dr. Gail through a google search and am so happy with her attention to detail. Early, our 1 yrd old basset hound is a handful and she is making strides with him only after two lessons for our dog show in June.

Gail is a excellent trainer for both students that want to show all the way to pet dog owners that want a well mannered family member. She understands puppies to problem dogs with great success. Gail is one of our dogs favorite people in their lives.
Gail is the best! With decades of experience as a behaviorist and a trainer, she has assisted me in correcting unwanted behaviors, avoiding potential problems and compete successfully in obedience. I travel 4 hours round trip for a lesson because she truly understands dogs; and very patient when it comes to training me – over and over.
My husband, Dan, and I highly recommend Dr. Gail Clark. We have two Bouvier des Flandres who are very strong-willed and independent and she has trained us and our dogs to work together as a team. She's helped us with confirmation, obedience, and rally work. And, our dogs really love Gail and look forward to seeing her!

Although these classes are on the pricey side, the results are 100% worth it! Gail personalizes training techniques that work best for both me and my dog, and I see improvement during every single lesson. She notices little details that are often overlooked by many other trainers. Also, she makes sure to pay attention to, understand, and support both me and my dog (who absolutely loves her!), which ends up being crucial to our improvement. I definitely recommend K9 Shrink if you want to set your dog up for success!
