Clarissa is patient and incredibly gifted at explaining the process and reasoning behind the techniques. She made it easy to understand and she has great follow up. We highly recommend her and her approach to training.

We were having behavior issues with one of our dogs so we called Clarissa. She came to our house and observed both our dogs interacting and quickly realized our other dog was contributing to the problem. Clarissa was patient, knowledgeable, and even-tempered in her interactions. She gave us solid advice for both dogs that had helped improve the quality of life in our home for people and pups.

Our chihuahua was exhibiting a lot of territorial issues once our baby became old enough to start reaching for his toys. We were so incredibly thankful to find Clarissa, without her we wouldn’t have been able to keep him

Clarissa was a fantastic, calm, and thorough trainer. There are 4 adults in our household and our dog, Rae, was getting mixed messages from us. Clarissa taught us about consistent behavior from the humans that helps our dog be the best she can be. She left us charts and reminders that we used for many months.

Clarissa was a fantastic, calm, and thorough trainer. There are 4 adults in our household and our dog, Rae, was getting mixed messages from us. Clarissa taught us about consistent behavior from the humans that helps our dog be the best she can be. She left us charts and reminders that we used for many months. She modeled behavior that helped Rae be less rambunctious. She even came for a follow up visit that was very helpful to us. We think Clarissa is worth every cent we paid, and more. Rae is now a good dog (mostly 😆) and we have no fears taking her to the dog park because she knows how to socialize now. Less

Clarissa gave us the tools we were missing to teach our (very spoiled) lab better behavior. We noticed a difference within a week and our home is much calmer!

She comes to your home and spends time with the entire family- making sure all are on board and unified in training methods.

Clarissa greatly helped us get our shelter dog accustomed to our family. The Calm Nature method was effective for our older shelter dog who had anxiety issues.

First visit was one on one good. Many suggestions on what to do. The videos were good. I needed more one on one so used the tracing as a starting point.

Clarissa is a really great trainer to work with she really nice she been helping us with are German shepherd would highly recommend if your looking for a trainer

I got a lot of info to be a better dog owner. I didn't incorporate everything that happened in training. Didn't agree with the methods. Overall I was helped to feel more confident, and have much better patience with my dog.

We felt very comfortable with everything we learned to help our pup, Finley, succeed .

Clarissa was amazing and great to work with. I was very pleased with the improvement I saw with Bodie. She gave us structure which was easy to follow and made a huge difference. She was always willing to answer questions with a quick response. I loved the approach she takes since Bodie was a rescue & was timid. He is so well behaved now.

Clarissa was so clam and patient with our extremely rowdy puppy. We were desperate for help, and after just one hour, we noticed a huge difference with our dog's behavior. 🙂

We were really struggling with our Beagle on walks because he pulled so hard. Clarissa came to our home and explained who the alpha was as opposed to who it should be and recommended some tips and tools and we enjoy walking our guy a lot more now. It turns out that the humans need more training than the canines! ♥️

We are so thankful for Clarissa. Buddy now knows who is in charge. He does not bark incessantly any more.

Layla did well with Clarissa. She was potting and walking on her leash. Puppy Layla has continued to do well the training provided

Clarissa, was absolutely fantastic with our new dog that we just rehomed. We just adopted a year and a half Brenedoodle. Her knowledge and expertise really help us solve many of Polly’s, behavioral issues and attachment issues. The big victory was being able to walk Polly with a loose leash without the tug-of-war game that we normally have experience with walking her. I highly recommend her servi... More

I highly recommend her service if you have a brand new puppy or just a dog that needs a little bit more training. Happy client happy dog Less

Clarissa was great to work with! I feel like she understood our dogs personalities right away and gave some great advice on how to deal with her. We've already seen improvements. She also didn't shy away from telling us telling us the things we didn't want to hear which is good.

This method works so well, every dog owner should know these things!

amazing!! clarissa did such an incredible job of explaining everything and i’m already noticing difference in my dog! 10/10 recommend!!

Clarissa was absolutely fantastic! She worked with us as a family, catering to each individual’s understanding. I really love that not only does Clarissa come to your home but teaches you how to help your dog, and not just do it and have you carry on.

Experience was great. Spent the time learning how to properly communicate with our puppy. Just one day we have already implemented what was taught and she is already responding

Clarissa arrived on time and immediately got to work talking with me and observing my dog’s behavior. I had so many aha moments as we talked. She helped me understand why my dog behaves the way he does in different situations. I started implementing changes right away and noticed improvement with my dog that afternoon!

Clarissa was so kind and patient with our hyper, bitey 11-week-old puppy. We noticed a huge change in our puppy's behavior in just a couple of hours, and it made the training process feel much more manageable. Clarissa explained things in a very clear and organized way, and we feel so much more prepared as dog owners after meeting with her. Highly recommend!

Clarissa was amazing to work with. In the few hours we spent we learned so much about how to manage dog behaviors effectively. I highly suggest Clarissa to help gain insight into your dog’s needs and calm methods of managing those behaviors. I love that she has a written plan to follow that is easy to understand.

Clarissa was phenomenal! She was very personable in helping us develop a plan to better train and bond with our puppy. Her method and theories of training were extremely insightful. We learned so much! We highly recommend her services.

We worked with Clarissa and she was absolutely fantastic! She came to observe our puppy in our home and gave us a lot of helpful advice on raising and training our puppy with positive reinforcement. We learned some great foundational knowledge that I don’t think we would have been able to find ourselves. Highly recommend!

We just got a puppy and he was acting like a normal crazy puppy. We were about at our wits end with him and rethinking our decision about getting a puppy. We thankfully came across Calm Nature training and called to schedule a puppy training session. She got back to us so fast and luckily had availability the next day. She was so nice and gave us the best advice and tips to help us with our puppy... More

She was so professional and super nice, the price was well worth it and we couldn’t recommend her training enough. 10/10 Less

You could just see the world lift from his shoulders when he learned he wasn't in charge any more. That we were and we'd take care of him.

I absolutely loved all the tips that were given to me. It has already made a HUGE difference in my dogs behavior!!

Wonderful and very helpful!! I could not recommend a better dog training program! Personal dog training at your home is the best!! 5++++ stars!!

After a negative experience with a different dog trainer, we were seriously blown away by Clarissa from Calm Nature Dog Training. She was cool and collected with our nervous dog and taught us how to incorporate positive training methods into our every day life. She knows her stuff, and was very encouraging to us with learning how best to help our dog.

Clarissa truly knows what she’s doing when it comes to understanding dogs and how to effectively train them. I have read other reviews where people say they noticed a difference in their dog right away and strangely, it’s true. Understanding how an animal works brings a lot of peace to the home when you can give the dog the leadership it needs. Clarissa makes this a very easy process to recognize... More

Would and will recommend her to anyone I know. Calm nature is a great name for what she offers with your pet training experience :) Less

Clarissa was awesome! Rather than focusing on simple commands that don't change overall behavior, the lesson was focused on how to think like our dogs and remain in control. It was also great having her in our home to give recommendations on how we live, rather than us having to adapt an off-site class to our lives. She really knows her stuff. Pricing is also super competitive. Very happy.

Clarissa is amazing! She has so much knowledge, answering all our questions and more. She is dedicated and passionate about what she does. We really appreciate her gentle approach and way of explaining things that make so much sense! We saw results right away, and for other issues she continues to be there for us whenever needed.

It was great experince

Clarissa helped us massively with our dog! Having a large family and lots of humans, Clarissa was able to explain and get through to my kids the importance of being good humans for our dog. Henry has been so much easier; and we saw IMMEDIATE behavior changes.
