We are continuously trying to improve the content and presentation of all our courses. Therefore, at the end of each one we ask owners to fill in a feedback questionnaire with their comments.
"Why did you choose C.L.E.A.R. Dog Training? What did you like most or least about the instruction/instructor? What did you find or not find particularly helpful or effective? How could our training be improved to meet your future needs? How would you describe our services (value for money, objectives met) to other people? What would you say to somebody considering doing a C.L.E.A.R. Dog Training course? May we, at our discretion, use any photographs taken of your dog during the course and your comments on this form for marketing purposes?"
For puppy school graduates, 4-9 months
