Mack the reactive Jack Russell Terrier

“We had an amazing experience doing the reactive rover program with Lia at The Crunchy Canine. We have a Jack Russell named Mack who was very reactive when he was on the leash and saw people, kids, or other dogs. He also pulled heavily on the leash when we were on walks. After our first session with Lia, we noticed an immediate change in his behaviour. The customized approach was exactly what Mack needed. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and the results!”

Lily the blind Saint Bernard puppy

“We hired The Crunchy Canine for private dog training lessons for our new puppy, she was born blind – and they were FANTASTIC in being able to work with us to modify training techniques to apply to her specific situation. We also worked on teaching her specific commands, such as ‘step up’ and ‘step down’, ‘stairs up’, ‘left’, ‘right’, etc. Very important commands for a blind dog to navigate her surroundings. Most people we meet have no idea she is blind because she is confident and well equipped to handle her surroundings. We really appreciated the time they spent with us and with our puppy, Lily, to set her up for success and such a bright future. Thank you specifically to our trainer Lia!”

Benji the Beagle mix

“I highly recommend Katherine and her team at The Crunchy Canine. Training is tactful and effective, for both humans and doggies. Big bonus if you can also tap into puppy socialization.
As a first-time dog owner, I gained confidence in how to handle all sorts of dog situations, and can take Benji with me to many places now. He walks beside me nicely, doesn’t snarl at other dogs across the street and has even grown to like the cat.
All through the guidance and education from The Crunchy Canine. Thank you.”

Logan the German Shepherd

“Amazing trainers! We completed the advanced off leash program with Katherine for our young GSD. The knowledge, guidance and support is second to none. Our boy now attends the awesome day camp every Wednesday as well. We have a dog we can go out with and enjoy living with because of the support we received and all we have learned. Highly recommend their services.”

Ted the Bernese Mountain Dog

“We signed up for the Perfect Pet Program for our Bernese Mountain Dog Puppy and are SO happy that we did! Training in our home and neighbourhood was super helpful, and having it be one on one allowed for us to really focus on our concerns. Katie was fantastic, super patient and hands on. She was always a text away if we had any questions and always followed up our sessions with an email containing information about everything we had worked on that day. We would definitely recommend Crunchy Canine!”

Lyric earning off leash freedom

“I did the freedom from the leash program with Katie with my pup, Lyric and absolutely loved it! I was able to start off leash hikes with her before she was a year old. Everyone with the Crunchy Canine is fantastic and I would highly recommend.”
