Hi! 👋 Alliance Service Dogs is a one-woman show at the moment, and I figured I’d let you in on who’s behind the screen…
Alt-text:
Claire Kilburn, CPDT-KA, KPA CTP
Claire’s dedication to positive reinforcement training started in 2015, when she joined the team at When Hounds Fly in Toronto, ON. There, she was able to learn from a vast array of talented trainers, and grow her knowledge in pet dog training. She began taking on owner-trainer service dog clients in 2020, after vigorous self-study.
After leaving WHF in 2022, Claire enrolled in the .assistance.dogs program for intensive and specialized instruction in service dog training, and Alliance Service Dogs was founded.
Claire has a special passion for working with neurodivergent clients and disabled youth. She also hopes to make a positive impact by bringing awareness and education about assistance dogs to Toronto’s businesses, schools, and public services.
