A dog trainer who cares…

Dogs who hunt inappropriately, dogs who are reactive, or nose work dogs are my specialty.

Animal and client welfare is my number one priority.

House sitting and boarding

Located in Walden Colorado? You can ask me to stay at your house or have your dog stay at mine. Two dogs max for boarding.

Training package or subscription available

Train with me once or twice a week from the comfort of your own home!

Subscribe for me to train with your dog Monday through Friday then we catch up once a week or when you have time.

Online support

Train with me on google meet! The perfect service for dogs too afraid to meet a stranger or get in the car to come see me. Also perfect for those who do not have a certified dog trainer in their area.

What people are saying about me

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.

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!
