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!

Thank you Jimmy for an amazing experience at The Crafty Pup! From day one Jimmy was thorough about his process of training a dog which ultimately led me to enroll in his puppy preschool and 4 week board and train. It was the hardest decision letting my 4 month old golden be gone for so long but so worth it because he came back so well behaved. He no longer bites, jumps, or barks which were all things I struggled with from day one as a puppy. Oliver loves practicing his down stays on walks together and overall is a much happier pup! Thank you Jimmy for training Oliver to be the best pup! I would highly recommend Jimmy to train your dog!

I don't normally post reviews, but this one was necessary. I enrolled my puppy in the 4 week board and train program and was happy I did. Jimmy listened to my needs and was able to correct all the un wanted behaviors and disobedience. From puppy biting to jumping and obedience. I appreciated his love for dogs and training. Mostly, how he demands doing things in the correct way . He wants the best for you and your dog . He even went out of his way to provide extra service. If you're looking for a good, trustworthy trainer, Jimmy is that. Him being reasonably priced is a plus as well

Mazy was my sixth Golden but had herding instincts, biting ankles and hands to the point of breaking skin. Jimmy was just the right trainer to show and teach us how to show her who is boss. We did a few training sessions at home which showed Mazy that she had to behave here at home also. She is now safe to have around the grandchildren. We highly recommend Jimmy.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jimmy for the second time, and I can't say enough good things about the experience! Jimmy trained our first dog a few years ago, and I immediately reached out to him before our second dog arrived at home. At first, I was hesitant about parting with our dog for a few weeks, but it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Thanks to Jimmy's training, both of our dogs are well-behaved, gentle around our children, and walk easily on a leash. I also appreciated that Jimmy came to our house for a follow-up session, which was incredibly helpful. Today, I took our six-month-old puppy for a walk, and everyone was amazed at how calm she was! I highly recommend Jimmy's training services; it's truly a great investment in your future with your new furry family member!

I genuinely couldn’t be happier with how our dog, Birdie’s, training went with Jimmy from the Crafty Pup. She went in very naughty, refused to come when she was called, and was very reactive on leash. Jimmy has changed our lives. We have a very well-trained dog who fits right into our lives instead of causing us more stress. And I didn’t think it was possible, but we are more bonded than ever. Sending Birdie to Jimmy was truly the best money I’ve spent in a very long time. Cannot recommend Jimmy highly enough.
