Claire has been working with dogs since high school, starting off as a volunteer at a positive-reinforcement pet dog training school. Since then, she’s earned her CPDT-KA and KPA CTP certifications, alongside becoming an Atlas Certified Trainer. She has a passion for working with neurodivergent clients and disabled youth, and is informed by her own experience with mental health and chronic pain. She also hopes to make a positive impact by bringing awareness and education about assistance dogs to Toronto’s businesses, schools, and public services.

Alliance Service Dogs is committed to accessibility, compassionate training, and excellence in the field. Specializations include psychiatric, cognitive, and developmental disabilities, but training is also available for mobility, hearing alert, and medical alert/response.
