Clair Cortright – Professional Dog Trainer

She grew up in Henrico, Virginia and graduated from Virginia Tech with a major in Animal and Poultry Sciences. While there, she studied with an emphasis on companion animals. Clair has been surrounded by dogs her whole life and could not imagine doing anything but working with animals—dogs, in particular.

Clair completed the Canine Trade Group training course in canine behavior, which focused on the training philosophy of “Decisions, not Dominance.” This means that the training methods are geared towards helping pups make the right decisions on their own without the owner feeling like they are breaking their dog’s spirit.

Clair believes in-home training is the most effective way to communicate with dogs, as it allows the owner to stay involved in the training process and work on specific family needs. After all, there is no one set way for a dog to behave; it’s simply what works for each family.

Give your dog the gift that keeps on giving by hiring Clair for one-on-one in-home training.
