CLEAR Dog Training
Caroline resolves in two in-home sessions what clients say puppy school never could — and stays reachable long after.
The in-home format consistently gets called out as a specific advantage over group puppy schools: multiple clients who had done both say they learned more in two sessions with Caroline than in an entire puppy preschool course. Oliver, a second trainer mentioned in a handful of older reviews, drew similar praise for follow-through and multi-dog work. A single review called pricing overpriced — no other reviewer echoed that concern, so it sits well below the threshold to treat as a pattern, though it's worth confirming the package structure and what's included before booking. A practical tip from the reviews: ask about the Foundation Package if you're starting from scratch with a puppy or rehomed dog, and ask whether written session notes and between-visit phone support are included in your package.

About CLEAR Dog Training
Caroline runs CLEAR Dog Training as a sole operator out of Wynnum, bringing around seven years of hands-on experience to private, in-home dog training sessions across Brisbane's bayside. Rather than running group classes, she comes to your home, street, and local parks — wherever the real-life training challenges actually happen — which means the whole family can be present and everyone learns the same commands and expectations at once. Caroline's approach consistently draws on positive reinforcement and structured games, with reviewers noting she teaches the humans as deliberately as she teaches the dogs: she diagnoses what owners are doing that's inadvertently reinforcing problems, then gives them clear, memorable techniques to correct course. She handles a wide range of cases — new puppies, rescue dogs with anxiety or aggression, reactive dogs, multi-dog households with conflict — and several reviewers mention she followed up by email with written summaries of the session, and remained reachable by phone or email between visits. One review mentions a trainer named Oliver also working under the CLEAR banner, praised specifically for multi-dog behavioural consultations and for checking in on clients long after the session ended. Clients on fixed incomes note that Caroline offers payment plans, making sessions accessible beyond the standard market.
Best for: new puppy owners wanting private in-home training instead of or alongside group puppy school, families with rescue dogs dealing with reactivity or aggression, multi-dog households experiencing conflict, and owners who want ongoing support between sessions rather than a one-off class.

Does CLEAR Dog Training offer group classes or only private sessions?+
Caroline works exclusively in private, one-on-one sessions — no group classes. Sessions are typically held at your home, in your street, and at local parks, so training happens in the real environments where your dog actually needs to behave. Multiple reviewers who had previously attended puppy preschool said they got more practical value from two sessions with Caroline than from a full group course. Puppy school is still recommended alongside private sessions for socialisation purposes.
Can Caroline help with rescue dogs or dogs that have behavioural problems, not just puppies?+
Yes — a meaningful portion of her reviews cover exactly this. Clients mention dogs with aggression toward other dogs, extreme shyness, reactive behaviour on leads, and multi-dog households where dogs were fighting and had to be kept separated. One reviewer describes two rescue dogs going from constant conflict to living peacefully together after Caroline's structured programme. She's also helped clients preparing a dog for therapy dog certification.
What is the Foundation Package and what does it include?+
Several reviewers mention booking the Foundation Package as their starting point, which appears to include an initial in-home session plus discounted follow-up sessions. Caroline also provides written notes after sessions and stays contactable by phone or email between visits — multiple reviewers specifically called out this ongoing support as part of the value. The exact inclusions are worth confirming directly when you book, as packages can be tailored to your situation.
What areas does CLEAR Dog Training cover?+
The business is based in Wynnum, QLD, and sessions take place in and around the client's local area — reviewers mention training at home, in local streets, and at nearby parks. Reviews reference locations around Brisbane's bayside, but the exact travel range isn't specified in the available information. It's worth confirming your suburb when you make an enquiry.
How quickly can you expect results from training with Caroline?+
Many reviewers report noticeable improvements within the first one to three sessions rather than after weeks of work. One client noted a 300% improvement in their Jack Russell's behaviour within three weeks; another said their large dog's pulling on the lead was resolved in just two lessons. Caroline assigns homework between sessions, and reviewers who completed it consistently reported faster progress — the at-home practice appears to be a significant factor in the speed of results.
