About
Dogs have been a part of the majority of my life in almost every way possible. I spent my entire childhood growing up with many types of dogs. As I got older, dogs became more interesting than just having them as family pets. In 2013, I joined the military and began working with Marine Corps military working dogs. These dogs were intense and taught me an incredible foundation for training. I fell in love with watching the way I could mold a puppy into anything I wanted using basic psychology! In 2016 I finally got my own dog and the two of us began exploring training methods outside of our military experience. And the love for training only grew. From the start of my canine education, I have had the opportunity to work with MWDs, attend a large number of seminars covering everything from marker training to advanced detection techniques, and attend many different dog training programs well known around the world. I received my Master Dog Trainer certification in 2022 after over a decade of hands on experience to further my education. Since 2016, I have 1-on-1 trained well over 1000 dogs in behaviors ranging from puppy obedience to aggression issues to service animals! Because I have studied psychology and animal psychology, I use a balanced training method. I am lover of science and education and will forever seek further knowledge within the dog training industry. I love working with dogs, but I love helping people even more. Send me a message so we can schedule a free evaluation to assess your dog’s training needs! All deposits paid for training are non refundable if appointment is cancelled within 24 hours of appointment time

Clay had a lot to offer. He was intuitive to my puppy and myself. He had a lot of experience and intelligence on training dogs. I could see immediate results. I highly recommend Elite Standard K9 for dog/puppy training and plan to use him again if the need is necessary.

Clay is terrific. We noticed a difference in our puppy after the first training. He is really helping us to get our puppy trained and does a really great job of helping us understand the behaviors and needs of our puppy so we understand why it’s important to be consistent and implement the tools he is teaching us. I either highly recommend Clay!

I’ve only had 2 classes with Clay and I can tell such a difference in my dog, Jim! Jim is a 7yr old Brittany who used to pull me on our walks. I told Clay I wanted to be able to get him leash trained and get him to the point I can talk him more places with me. Jim doesn’t pull me now and I’m excited to see how his progress at the end of all his training. I would recommend the services Clay offers!
