Our
Story
Hello! I'm Claire, dog trainer and founder of Mother Puppers
The scruffy-haired beauty on the right is my boy Ozzy; the one that started it all.
​
Ozzy came into my life in August 2021 as a gangly, worried, little 5 month old puppy from Romania. Since then, we've been on quite the ride! Because of Ozzy's struggles, including stranger danger, noise sensitivity, and dog reactivity, I threw myself into training and behaviour, trying desperately to make this boy's life as fun and worry-free as possible.
​
I found success and support within the Positive Reinforcement training community and started my journey to becoming a dog trainer myself with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT), who promote force-free, positive dog training methods.
​
I started Mother Puppers because I love dogs (of course!), but also because I want to help people strengthen their relationship and have the best life possible with their dogs.
​
Thank you for joining me!
