Hi, I’m Clarissa! I started out working with military working dogs, which was such an intense and rewarding experience. I had the privilege of training some of the smartest, most disciplined dogs on the planet, but it wasn’t always easy. There were plenty of challenges along the way—working in high-pressure situations, managing tough training environments, and sometimes pushing myself to the limit to meet the needs of the dogs. But overcoming those struggles is what shaped me into the trainer I am today. Now, I’m transitioning to working with civilian dogs, and it’s an exciting leap! I get to help everyday pups with training, behavior, and just being their best selves. Whether it’s teaching new tricks or working through a bit of stubbornness, I’m all about helping dogs live their best lives and building a strong connection with them. The bond between a dog and its owner is incredibly special, and I feel privileged to help strengthen that connection. I’m here to help your dog shine! I can’t wait to meet your pup and start this exciting journey together.
