Throughout my childhood, I have had the privilege of being a dog owner, owning various breeds such as labs, Shih Tzus, and old English sheepdogs. My experiences have exposed me to different temperaments that these breeds possess. In 2013, I joined the military and began working with the Marine Corps' military working dogs, which sparked my interest in canine psychology. I was fascinated by the results I could achieve using basic psychology to mold a puppy into anything I wanted. In 2016, I got my own dog and started exploring alternative training methods beyond my military experience.
Throughout my years of working with canines, I have received extensive education by attending different seminars that covered a range of topics from marker training to advanced detection techniques. Additionally, I have worked with MWDs and have undergone various recognized dog training programs from around the world.
Since 2016, I have trained over 1,000 dogs in a range of behaviors; from puppy obedience to aggressive issues to service animals. Utilizing my knowledge of psychology and animal psychology, I use a balanced training method to ensure optimal results.

Our cane corsos underwent a 4-week training program with Greenside Canine, where they were instructed in basic obedience as well as on and off-leash activities. Since we keep them as service dogs, their impeccable behavior is essential. The trainers equipped us with the necessary knowledge to carry out commands and we are progressively gaining confidence. Their training has been so remarkable that we can bring them along wherever we go, and they remain composed, even in raucous settings such as a rock band performing at a bar, where they dutifully wait by our feet. Their calm attitude even around other canines is striking. Thanks to Clay’s team, working efficiently alongside our pets is no longer a challenge and our lives have changed significantly.

After just a couple of sessions with Clay, my dog Jim has already made tremendous progress. As a seven-year-old Brittany, Jim used to have a habit of pulling me along on our walks. I expressed my desire to Clay to have Jim properly leash-trained so that I could take him to more places with me. To my surprise, Jim no longer pulls me and I am thrilled to see how much more he improves over time. I highly recommend the services offered by Clay.

His impressive experience and intelligence in this field yielded immediate, noticeable results. I highly recommend Elite Standard K9 for anyone seeking top-notch puppy or dog training services, and I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Clay again in the future if needed.
