Hiya! I’m Clare and I am the owner of Canine Camp and our sister business Drool Academy. I am a fully qualified IMDT dog trainer, I have a level 3 Diploma in Animal Management and a FdSc degree in Wildlife Conservation, all of which stemmed from my fascination with animal behaviour. I am currently studying my level 4 Canine Behaviour & Psychology Diploma too. I have completed courses in Canine First Aid, Dog Body Language and I am a fully qualified Canine Hoopers World Instructor. I am passionate about all animals and will always choose to treat them with kindness - I have been vegan since 2018 as this aligns with my morals. I have worked with dogs my whole working life and in 2018 I was given the role of manager at Canine Camp which shortly followed by the opportunity to take over the business from the wonderful previous owners: Cheryl, Callum and Monty the Aussie.

My motivation in life is my two Dogue de Bordeaux girls Daphne and Audrey (6 and 4) and my downtime is spending time with them. They love training classes and anything that involves lots of treats however going swimming at hydrotherapy is their absolute FAVOURITE! They have achieved up to gold level in their kennel club canine good citizen and our love and enjoyment for classes was the real driving force for me to become a dog trainer and run my own classes and share clients success and journeys!

I am super blessed with my Canine Camp team – and would be nowhere without them!
