Full Testimonials 

I didn't know what to expect that first day when I watched him take the leash and lead my dog, broken in spirit and temperament, and rescued from the street, to the center of the training room. In less than five minutes he brought him back, and as he handed me the leash he smiled and said, "He's a good dog!" I knew then that we had come to the right place.

Tim Crawford loves dogs. That becomes clear as you watch him put his charges through their paces each week. His thirty years of experience in training dogs of all shapes, sizes and disposition, shows in the way they eagerly respond to him. Rather than induce pain or punishment to elicit results, Tim believes that tried and true techniques, followed by reward and praise produces the best results.

Crawford's Canine Training is not the kind of program priced for elites that requires boarding for extended periods and then additional instruction once the dog is returned home. Training sessions are packed with information and demonstrations that give you the techniques and tools you need for the positive behavioral change you want for your dog.

Though we are still beginners, it's been so gratifying to see our dog evolve into the happy, well behaved pet we'd been hoping for.
 

I am so glad I took my dog for training with Tim Crawford. My dog was very reactive, high anxiety, territorial, and had various other behavioral issues, including barking, leash pulling, lunging and leash aggression. Leaving the house was pure chaos and nearly impossible to do. Encounters with strangers and other dogs were complete hell that I tried to avoid at all costs so my dog ended up staying home most of the time.

I tried other trainers and anxiety medications for my dog but they provided minimal relief. Once I took my dog to Tim, I started seeing improvement each week. Tim is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and offers a very individualized approach to every dog's needs. He is passionate about dogs and dog training and really cares about getting results for you and your dog. He listens and provides thoughtful insight and helps you to understand and change your dog's behavior so that you have life-long lasting results. He has completely rehabilitated my dog in a way that I didn't think was possible. He really believed in my dog's potential and encouraged me not to give up, for which I am incredibly thankful.

His classes are interesting and uniquely designed and focus on a variety of skills so that your dog is challenged and not bored. It has been very rewarding seeing my dog (as well as all the other dogs in the class) make so much progress.

Thanks to Tim my dog no longer has to be left behind at home and I can take him with me when I go out. He is much calmer and more confident, listens to commands and gets compliments on his manners. I can now take him on walks, go to parks, the beach, outdoor patios, shopping, etc. and enjoy life and the city together.

Even if your dog doesn't have behavioral issues, I really recommend Tim and his dog training classes for basic dog obedience. Even if your dog just needs to brush up on a few skills like listening to commands, leash walking, impulse control, etc., I highly recommend Tim. Having a well trained dog is an invaluable asset, it has really changed mine and my dog's life. Thank you Tim!
