Meet The Trainer

Hi, I'm Nate Clingan. I've always loved animals, especially dogs. My passion for training began with my own dog, Nova. She struggled with leash reactivity, and I spent countless hours learning, educating, and training her. The transformation was amazing—she did a complete 180, and now I can take her anywhere with confidence.

Inspired by Nova's turnaround, I knew I had to share this experience with other dog owners. I wanted to help you experience the joy of having a dog that loves you and listens to you. Over the years, I've served hundreds of dog owners in Northeast Ohio, using balanced training methods that build clear communication and lasting bonds. Let's work together to create a happier, well-behaved life for you and your dog.
