Premium Dog Training & Equipment
Training that sticks.Gear that performs.
CraftyK9 helps you build calm, control, and confidence -- with tools that support real progress.
Stop guessing.
Start communicating.
Most training struggles come from miscommunication, not disobedience. Here's what changes when clarity clicks.
Calm, focused heelwork
Replace leash lunging and barking with confident, composed walks that you both enjoy.
Reliable off-lead freedom
Build a recall so strong your dog chooses you over every distraction, every time.
Polite, settled companion
From door-dashing to counter-surfing, create calm default behaviours indoors.
A structured path to freedom
Four phases. Clear milestones. Real-world results across Warwickshire and the West Midlands.
Assessment
We start by understanding your dog -- their triggers, temperament, and history. Every plan begins with observation.
A thorough evaluation of behaviour patterns, environmental triggers, and your goals as a handler.
Foundations
Building clear communication through marker training, engagement exercises, and structured routines.
Establishing the language between you and your dog. This is where lasting change begins.
Real-Life Proofing
Taking skills from controlled settings into the real world -- parks, canals, busy high streets, and social settings.
Training only counts if it works in the moments that matter. We train for real life.
Long-Term Plan
A structured maintenance plan so you keep progressing independently, long after formal training ends.
Your roadmap to ongoing success. Clear milestones, check-ins, and evolving challenges.
Hear from our pack
“I can’t say enough great things about Amy and her training. From the start, her knowledge, patience, and genuine love for dogs were obvious.
Her positive, thoughtful approach has made a huge difference for our anxious German Shepherd, who has shown clear improvements in his confidence and behavior. The sessions are well-structured, supportive, and empowering, and we were given the tools to continue the progress at home. If you’re looking for a dog trainer who delivers real results with kindness and professionalism, I highly recommend Amy!”
“We highly recommend Amy for your dog training needs and have recommended her to friends and family.
She really took the time to listen to the issues we were having with our German Shepherd Puppy and has greatly improved his responsiveness and behaviour on the lead. As well as being very helpful and patient during training sessions, she’s always willing to help and on the end of a phone if something comes up in between sessions and her guidance has been invaluable. Training a GSD puppy/teenager isn’t easy, but we saw a huge improvement in his behaviour from day one. Thank you Amy.”
“Before Amy, Tuk was overwhelming. Pulling, ignoring, destroying, never settling. We'd tried other trainers and nothing worked — until that first session changed everything.
Amy spotted exactly where we were going wrong and within minutes had Tuk focused and calm. Over the past year he's gone from an energetic terror to a dog we genuinely enjoy living with. She didn't just train Tuk — she trained us. We're no longer managing him. We're enjoying being his owners again.”
