- JSJonathan Dolcort SilverOct 9, 20251.0A good trainer should approach his task calmly, displaying an even disposition. Unfortunately Tom seemed unable to control himself, and raised his voice during every training session. He said that dogs respond to the energy they sense from the humans around them. Given Tom's demeanor noted above, he should have been able to control himself better, because my dog and I became extremely agitated by the end of every training session. I am a disabled adult and Tom was made aware of this before our sessions commenced. He should have been more understanding, but seemed unable to do so. On one occasion, his wife, Gina, let three puppies into the room without my consent. My dog felt threatened and immediately backed into a corner and displayed her teeth. She has never displayed her teeth before or since and plays nicely with other dogs. I have twenty-five years experience in dog day care and that is unacceptable behavior. The overall experience was very disappointing. I was looking forward to a positive experience, but that turned out not to be the case. Raised voices and intimidation should never be part of the learning experience.
- MLMike LewellenSep 7, 20255.0I rescued a dog who came out of a Hoarder's House with approx. 26 dogs. He was so afraid of everything that he was a challenge to train. I had 8 individual (one-on-one) classes, and then attended a group class for a couple of years. I have learned so much from both Gina and Tom. Tom evaluated and rewarded my dog, Tucker, with a Canine Good Citizenship. Since then, we have gone on to be a Registered Therapy Team with Denver Pet Partners for the past 5 years.

What is the best age to start training a dog?
Training can start as early as 8 weeks old. Puppies are highly receptive to learning at a young age, making it an ideal time to introduce basic commands and socialization.
Is it ever too late to start training a dog?
It's never too late to start training! Here at Clearwater Dog Training, we accept dogs of all ages and specialize in training rescue dogs. While puppies may learn more quickly, adult dogs can also learn new behaviors and commands with patience and consistency.
What are some signs that my dog needs professional training?
Behaviors that may signal the need for professional training include persistent behavioral issues (e.g., aggression, excessive barking, fearfulness), inability to follow basic commands, or any behavior that puts the dog or others at risk.
