Academy for Canine Companions - Claudia Weber

0481 277 084

My name is Claudia Weber. I have been a Professional Dog Trainer for over 20 years now. I started in Germany and continued here in Toowoomba after I moved to Australia in 2016. I continue to learn about dogs and keep up with the latest research in dog science and aim to translate those into practical dog training.
I use positive, reward-based training methods and concentrate on giving you all the tools you need to build a strong bond and relationship with your dog build on fun activities and training, trust, and kindness.
All group training includes Theory (such as dog behaviour & body language, the importance of our body language for the dog and your training, finding out what is a reward for your dog (spoiler alert: not always, what we think it is), and much more) and – of course – Practice.
