My name is Claire Hineline,
I am a passionate dog trainer dedicated to helping dogs live their best lives.

Right out of high school, I joined the WI Air National Guard as a F-16 crew chief. With them I had the amazing opportunity to deploy to South Korea. I moved here to Duluth in 2019 after accepting a full-time job in the MN Air National Guard. With the 148th, I had the pleasure of traveling multiple times and deploying to Saudi Arabia.

Currently, I am pursuing a B.S. in Animal Health and Behavior, which enriches my approach with the latest knowledge and techniques.

I specialize in addressing reactivity and other behavioral challenges using fear-free, reward-based methods. My training philosophy is rooted in mutual respect and trust, ensuring that every session is a positive experience for both you and your dog. While I focus on reactivity, I welcome anyone to reach out for training, no matter the challenge.

At Sisu Canines, we understand that every dog is unique, and we tailor our training methods to meet the specific needs of each dog and their owner. Together, we can overcome any obstacle and celebrate the incredible bond between humans and dogs.
Let's embark on this adventure together!

Resilient hearts, courageous paws.
