About The Crafty Pup Dog Training

The Crafty Pup was created to educate people how to properly train their dog! Focused on building a strong foundation of Basic Obedience I specialize in training puppies and dogs to fit into your lifestlye! I approach training different than most - I use all praise and no treats thus resulting in your dog listening to YOU and not performing commands for food! I can train your dog to do anything you need but my emphasis is giving you the best trained dog in the neighborhood. One that walks nicely, performs each command on the first attempt, doesn't jump on your guests and comes off leash when called on the first command! I believe A Well Trained Dog Starts With A Well Trained Owner!

Jimmy has transformed our dog and, in the process, made our life a lot easier. Our dog did puppy training with Jimmy to learn the basics then went back when he was about 4.5 months for three weeks of boarding, training and swimming. Added benefit that he lost the rest of his baby teeth during boarding so teething is done as well. In the beginning, Jimmy spent a lot of time explaining his approach and philosophies. During training, we received regular text and video updates from Jimmy. At the end of training, we had multiple in-person sessions to watch Jimmy in action and to learn how to maintain the training / obedience once we brought him back home. Even after training is over, Jimmy continues to follow up to ask how our dog is doing and to give us advice on how to work with our dog under various scenarios. The difference in our dog (and how we work with him) is remarkable. He understands commands and wants to be good for us. I am 100% confident that Jimmy has taught our dog how to behave….now it is on us to stick with what Jimmy taught us and we will always have an obedient dog. I highly recommend Jimmy. It’s an investment in a better experience for you and your dog.

Jimmy has a gift with dogs, and was amazing with our border collie mix, who at 6 months old was hard to control and, while adorable, wild and bitty at times. Blue was a changed dog after 3 weeks, not only fantastic to walk but much calmer, having figured out his role in the family. Jimmy’s approach is all positive affirmation; Blue obviously enjoyed the board-and-train experience and came home happier, more centered, and a joy to be around. We couldn’t recommend Jimmy more highly.

I adopted Teddy but he was unmanageable walking if there were other dogs in sight. What a remarkable difference after training. We both enjoy walks and don’t avoid outdoors if anyone else is around.

My wife and I are so happy with the dog trainer James Cocallas. He change our lives with Rosie our Labradoodle puppy. We are now able to do anything with Rosie without being crazy. I will say James is one of the best dog trainer, I have met and I will continue to go to him for any dog issues. I would highly recommend James to train your precious dog. Sincerely, William Garcia.

Jimmy did such a great job with my dog! I feel like I’m back in control and can effectively communicate with Harper. My dog enjoys listening and taking direction, he’s also a dream on walks now and I trust him if he were to ever be off leash again. I am so thankful for this experience!
