Customer Reviews
Cindy and Richard: We adopted our dog Colby in November 2021. He had no training; in and out of dog pounds; we were his third owner. Last owner had a shock collar on him, he had three acres to hunt with no interaction. We had three trainers say he was a lost cause; not trainable. We met Kelsie and thought we would give it a try!!! BEST THING WE EVER DID! He knows his name, he comes when we call, we can walk him and he loves Kelsie and to learn. We or she found that side of him. He is learning to mush and I am excited to see where he goes!!! People can not believe the change.
Dale: Magnificent connection with my dog. Chaos goes everywhere i go with impeccable manners and obedience.
Amy: Daisy, my 7 month old Havanese, just finished her 6 session “manners” course. My main interst was teaching Daisy a few basic commands and also teaching me the best and safest way to do this. Kelsie (The Crafted Canine Owner) in an outstanding trainer – very patient, very organized, very effective. She listens to the owner and also adapts to the dog’s needs when required. I am extremely satisfied with the results and highly recommend The Crafted Canine for any type of training your dog may need. Thanks Kelsie!
We've got the answers for your questions
Seriously, if you have any questions about training your dog, we have the answers.
We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.
Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.
All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.
Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.
Yes, they are. Trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.
Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
