Hachet the anxious rescue dog
“Crunchy Canine helped sooo much with our anxious pup! We could never trim his nails before, and walking him was a nightmare. Now we can do both with minimal effort!”

Layla the reactive Husky Mix
“We had an extremely positive experience with Lia and The Crunchy Canine! We completed the
Reactive Rover program with our rescue girl, Layla, and she’s made huge strides. She is a totally different dog to walk, allowing us to go anywhere and handle various situations comfortably. The gradual progression of the program was customized to her needs, and the weekly homework and videos were very helpful. We will definitely be attending the ongoing group sessions to keep building off her private training. Highly recommend!”

Rose the wild child Golden Doodle
“The Crunchy Canine and Katherine helped my Rose with pulling on the leash, jumping up, stealing stuff and chewing it to bits. I couldn’t walk her because she was pulling and biting on the leash. So I was afraid to take her for walks. After 1 or 2 private sessions Rose was much more calm. Now, I can walk her nicely. Over just a few weeks Rose really matured. I can see the understanding in her eyes when I interact with her. She is relaxed and I can now let her have the run of the house (with supervision)
I can leave food out and other tempting items and Rose doesn’t touch them, or if she does, I say drop it and she does. She has also learned ‘wait’ and ‘go back’. Those are useful commands when opening the front door. She waits by the door and doesn’t lunge out the door.
Katherine is very professional. and she has helped me after hours and in between our regular sessions.
I highly recommend!!”

Hondo the reactive pitbull mix
“We rescued our boy Hondo about 8 months ago and he had zero training.
He was wild, couldn’t walk him on a leash without one of us getting so frustrated that walks were no longer enjoyable.
After reaching out to crunchy canine for in home training, it was the best decision we did for
Hondo and us.
Hondo now can walk on loose leash, walk on our side and will no longer lash out at other dogs or squirrels on walk.
Katherine was very professional and patient with us and Hondo throughout all of our training.
I’d highly recommend hiring the crunchy canine for your training needs!
And free social obedience classes are a bonus!”

Luna – Service Dog in Training
“
We originally came to the Crunchy Canine for help with Luna’s over excitement and extreme pulling when we walked her. At one point, her pulling and excitement got so bad, walking her became a chore that no one enjoyed or looked forward to.
We tried a multitude of tools (leash, slip-lead, gentle-leader etc. etc. etc…) but nothing seemed to register with Luna, or, she would get better for a bit and then get used to whatever tool we were using and it was back to square one. Once we started to advance her training and worked one on one with Katherine, we decided to switch her over to the remote collar. After the first week, we saw a significant change in Luna – for the better – she was responding more, being more aware of us and what we wanted from her. She was even noticeably starting to enjoy her walks more, as she never really enjoyed walking with the gentle leader on or any of the other tools we tried. But with her collar, she genuinely seemed so much happier. She had more freedom, less restraint but more control and consistency with her training. There was now a very clear, “black and white” approach to our training and more structure. Her recalls started to improve to the point where after the first few weeks, she was coming on command, staying by our side and with little to no motivation from the e-collar, she just started to understand what we expected from her more. We are improving each and every day and for the first time in a long time, we are extremely excited and hopeful that the remote collar is going to bring Luna to a point where she can have the best life possible. We are confident that our choice to switch to the remote collar was the right choice and one we will forever be thankful for.
A lot of people are apprehensive of the remote collar at first… but from our experience and after having used NUMEROUS tools, I can confidently say that the remote collar was the best decision we have ever made, besides the day we decided to get our Luna, of course ! If you’re thinking about making the switch, do it! This tool can seriously change yours and your dogs life, it did for us!”
