Hi, I'm Claire.
I've spent more than 20 years helping dogs and their owners build happier, more enjoyable relationships.
I live here at Woodgate Farm with my husband Richard, our two children, our dogs and our flock of sheep. Alongside our family farm and holiday accommodation, I run Clever Clogs Canine Training and work with dogs of all ages, breeds and abilities.
My training style is kind, practical and realistic. I believe dogs learn best when they are encouraged to think, make good decisions and build confidence in themselves.
Whether you have a brand-new puppy, an adolescent dog who has forgotten their manners, or an older dog struggling with behaviour challenges, my aim is to help you understand your dog better and enjoy life together.
Dog training isn't about creating robots.
It's about building dogs that can cope with everyday life, enjoy learning and make good choices even when life gets exciting or challenging.
I use reward-based methods that focus on:

One of the unique benefits of staying at Woodgate Farm is the opportunity to book professional dog training during your holiday.
Perhaps you'd like help with recall before heading out onto the Long Mynd, need advice with a reactive dog, or simply want to improve your relationship with your dog.
Training sessions can often be arranged during your stay, subject to availability, giving you the chance to enjoy quality time with your dog while learning new skills together.
Many guests find that a relaxed holiday environment is the perfect place to focus on training and return home feeling more confident.
