Ms C.B,

competitor at breed shows & attendee with three dogs at C.L.E.A.R. Dog Training group classes: '"I recently had a private lesson and then completed a course at C.L.E.A.R. Dog Training and was, quite frankly, astounded at the improvement not only in my own dog but in all of the dogs on the course. Some had never been socialised prior to the course and were understandably nervous, agitated and verbose. However, Oliver and the very professional team at C.L.E.A.R. brought a mixture of expertise, humour and individual attention to each participant while imparting logical sound principles. This was instrumental in all of us reaching a high level of achievement.



I have since enrolled my two other dogs one of which is already Level 3 in obedience at a traditional dog club to also undertake a course with C.L.E.A.R. Dog Training. Regardless of the age or experience of the dog or owner I do believe that anyone can significantly benefit from this wonderful team of people and the resources they offer. I simply cannot recommend them highly enough.'"



Dr C.F, (PhD),

Delta Accredited Canine Good Citizen Instructor, Chief Instructor 'XYZ' Dog Obedience Club with over 20 instructors: "I first met Oliver Beverly about five years ago when he participated in training activities at my dog club. I have since encountered him at many training and behaviour seminars around the country. Oliver is a keen student of the latest in positive methods of animal training and I would feel very happy in recommending anyone to attend his classes or consult with him about problem behaviours. He has the dog's best interests at heart and the knowledge to resolve problems without resorting to the excessive punishment that characterises most old-style approaches to dog training."


Dr R. Q, BVSc (Hons), Veterinarian:

'I have known Mr Beverly for two years in a number of different capacities including:

  • As a client with my own dog at C.L.E.A.R Dog Training
  • As this Veterinary Hospital's dog trainer referral of choice
  • As a fellow colleague participating in Continuing Education Behavioural Conferences

I have the highest regard for Mr Beverly both as a skilled professional and a person of integrity. It is my observation and professional experience that he possesses many strengths and attributes including the following:

* Strong and consistent client focus

* High-level competency and knowledge

* High level of communication skills

* Strong congruency between philosophical framework and his daily practice

* Openness to new information and a strong commitment to continuing education

* Knowledge & experience in up-to-date, approved methods of dog training and handling.

Mr Beverly has developed respect from the local veterinary profession as he works excellently with owners, animals and the profession to allow for ideal management of our suburban dog community. He is an accredited Delta Canine Good Citizen Instructor and has completed further studies in Behavioural Dog Training. This theoretical study and extensive dog training experience in my opinion make him one of the most valuable and expert dog trainers in the area.'

To Whom It May Concern

It is a pleasure to write a testimonial in regard to Oliver Beverly and C.L.E.A.R. Dog Training. I was looking for a puppy preschool after attending an ill run puppy school here on the Sunshine Coast. Priorities for me were a positive environment for puppy and handler, an instructor who knew how to run a puppy class without compromising the social development of a very young dog and who taught how to raise a puppy in a positive way.

Oliver was recommended to me and after initial contact I made the 200 kilometre round trip from Buderim to our first class in Brisbane. I was not disappointed. As well as being fun, Oliver's puppy classes are carefully designed to ensure that new owners are taught what to expect from a young pup and how to handle normal puppy behavior. This knowledge helps arm a new puppy owner with understanding and skills for a smooth transition through puppy hood. The clicker is introduced, positive basic training introduced and most importantly pups learn to socialize with other puppies and humans. Obstacles such as swing doors, prams, umbrellas, basic agility equipment are also a part of Oliver's puppy classes. This type of equipment encourages puppy awareness helping to build confidence and, of course, the agility equipment is a lot of fun. I found Oliver to be a warm, caring, extremely knowledgeable person who has devoted many years to helping people raise their pups to become well adjusted canine citizens in today's society. Oliver also actively assists in bringing to Queensland world renowned, positive, dog trainers to lecture in their areas of expertise so we all can benefit from their knowledge. Being a breeder I have absolutely no hesitation at all in recommending C.L.E.A.R. Dog training to my puppy buyers. Kind regards

We can help you to quickly become a stress-free owner with a relaxed, well-trained and safe dog that gets along well with other people and other dogs.

Socially undesired behaviours like pulling on lead, jumping on visitors, excessive barking and separation anxiety as well as potentially dangerous ones such dog-to-dog aggression, guarding food and chasing bicycles or horses are often the result of uncertainty, fear, distress and confusion caused by one or more of the following reasons:

  • Poor genes.
  • Early training from 3-8 weeks by the breeder and then from 8-14 weeks by the new owner which was either nonexistent, insufficient or of an incorrect and inappropriate type.
  • No appropriate continued education during adolesence and adulthood.
  • A dog being confused by unrealistic expectations and inconsistencies within the immediate family - such as using different words and hand signals.
  • Boredom due to lack of sufficient daily mental and physical exercise.
  •  A single unpleasant event – such as a dog attack or physical abuse - that results in a dog being fearful of certain places, breeds of dogs or people.
  •  Poor diet and inappropriate feeding habits.
  •  An undiagnosed medical complaint – such as toothache, tumours, back problems, pinched nerves.
  •  Losing a family member or another household pet

Since 2001 we have been assisting owners in South East Queensland to provide the guidance and leadership necessary for their adolescent or adult dogs to develop impulse control and to become calm, emotionally stable and well trained family pets. If your dog is not yet an ideal dog we can help. It is never too late for to catch up and teach him or her new behaviours and to change old undesired ones

  • Show and practice the steps to loose lead walking and proper 'heeling'.
  • Explain and demonstrate how playing games can make training easy and fun for both you and your dog.
  • Show you how to easily incorporate training into daily life.
  • Provide you with on-going home training exercises.
  • Loan you cutting-edge training videos & booklets.
  • Recommend further good videos, books and websites so that you continue to stay on track.

Ms Leah Aird of Bald Hills, owner of an 18 month old Bull Arab X and a 9 month old Labrador, wrote, "The in-home training was excellent. It was extremely practical, easy to follow and we could see results immediately! All the extra information provided afterwards was also extremely helpful. The difference it has made to our two dogs has been phenomenal!"

Ms A. Andrew of Cannon Hill, owner of a 7 month old Cavoodle, wrote, "I was very impressed that you hit the ground running! Illustrations to help explain concepts were very useful. There was no 'waffle' or 'padding' – it was a solid session of advice, practical instruction, demonstrated progress and non-judgmental feedback'

'Travelling is never an issue for me with my dogs if the benefits at the end of a trip are there - with your classes they certainly were!! Thoughtfully structured toward both handler & puppy, run in a relaxed, fun way, they are a fabulous introduction for those who have never experienced the incredible benefits of positive reinforcement combined with clicker training. What I liked most was seeing the dogs actually enjoy training; they looked forward to it - a wonderful learning curve.'
