Bailey the furture Service Dog

“I was extraordinarily impressed with the “puppy private” class I signed up my 8 week old puppy for. Trainers were accessible almost as soon as he came home and when a specialist in service dog training wasn’t available they sent someone as soon as possible to make sure we weren’t behind on the basics. Both Katie and Katherine were punctual, professional and easily accessible if I had questions during the week. They met us where we were at with training and worked with my long term goals for behaviour. I would recommend this set of sessions to anyone with a new puppy. Working in your home, in your environment and with your puppy’s temperament to be successful in training.”

Marmot the nervous rescue

“We did private lessons with Katherine for a dog we adopted that had some issues. She was great to work with and very knowledgeable. We saw a lot of improvement in our dog once we started to work with Katherine. It’s been great to see the change in his confidence! Would 100% recommend!”

Archie blossoming through Puppy Social & Enrichment

“Love puppy socials and training. Each week I notice a difference in our goldendoodle. He used to hide under a chair, now he’s running with the group. I would highly recommend The Crunchy Canine, it was the smartest decision we made for our puppy.

Being first time dog owners, we really didn’t know how to guide our puppy. Katharine has been wonderful! I don’t feel silly asking questions and I appreciate that Katharine explains why we do or do not do something. I think my whole family has benefited from these classes.”

Dexter pulling on leash

“Walking my dog now compared to before our training sessions with The Crunchy Canine is like night and day. We truly understand our dog’s needs better, and we can walk happily together without pulling! He’s improved so much that our preteen has been able to walk him on her own for the first time since we adopted him! I was at the end of my rope with Dexter, but the Crunchy Canine changed that. We would recommend Katherine to anyone, ESPECIALLY those who haven’t found success with traditional “big box” group training programs.”

Lexi the Bully mix

Lexi the Bully mix“Katherine at The Crunchy Canine is great! She understands that every dog is different and not all dogs are cuddly balls of fur. Our rescue dog, Lexi, responded to her very well (she isn’t the most accepting of new people/other dogs in certain situations) and we were given the tools/instructions that suit her personality and needs.”

Maggie – Reactive towards cars

Rosemary contacted us because Maggie, her 5 year old Cairn Terrier was so reactive towards vehicles that people had made comments that Maggie should be put down as she looked extremely aggressive.

About a month after training we got this update from her owner:

“Maggie is doing very well, and we haven’t had a ‘blow up’ since you finished her training.    I can see that she still tenses up, but all I need to say is ‘It’s just a car Maggie’ and she relaxes and looks for her treat’.  
Thank you so much again Katherine, you’ve made my excursions out with Maggie so much more pleasant, and I can enjoy her so much more.”
