“We 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.
As 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 she explains why we do or do not do something.
I think my whole family has benefited from these classes. I would highly recommend The Crunchy Canine. It was the smartest decision we made for our puppy.”

“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.”

“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 is not the most accepting of new people or other dogs in certain situations.
We were given tools and instructions that suit her personality and needs.”

Rosemary contacted us because Maggie, her 5-year-old Cairn Terrier, was so reactive towards vehicles that people had made comments suggesting Maggie should be put down, as she appeared extremely aggressive.
About a month after training, we received 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.”

“If you want to have someone train your dog, this is where you go. Katherine does an amazing job not only with your dog but more importantly with you as the owner.
We can’t say enough good things about The Crunchy Canine.
As our puppy turned into a dog, we developed some bad habits, and Katherine was immediately there for us to assist in resolving these issues well after the training.
This showed us that she truly cares about you and your dog being happy and is not just focused on training sessions.
Thank you to The Crunchy Canine and our instructor Katherine for making our life so much happier with our pup and for caring about him as much as we do.”

Ashley contacted us for help with her young Boxer, Bowie. He was the definition of an out-of-control dog—jumping on guests, mouthing, pawing for attention, extreme leash pulling, and no manners.
Over 6 weeks, we taught Bowie what was expected of him so he didn’t need to be crated all the time and could actually enjoy walks.
Before our final session, we received this update:
“Last night I had work friends over and they had never met Bowie before. He was very excited, but instead of jumping all over them he stayed down and was still his loveable self.
Usually he sniffs around, knocks things over, and tries to eat everything. Instead, he lay down next to my chair the entire time. When my friends called him, he walked over calmly and let them pet him without mouthing or getting overly excited.
We had NO accidents and he got MANY compliments on how well behaved he is. I didn’t feel the need to crate him, which usually happens when we have guests. I wanted to cry!”

If your dog sounds like Bowie, we can help you build the same kind of calm behaviour at home.
