Crackerjack Canines

Teresa is fantastic at personalizing her training to suit the specific needs and personalities of both human and canine students. Our dog is clever, quick to learn and very quick to push limits and she worked with us to address our specific concerns rather than having a canned plan. She keeps up with current best practice and always researches the science behind the information to make sure the training makes sense.Teresa works with the humans to help them understand the training and, more importantly, the why behind the training. When she first introduced me to clicker training, she explained why and how it works and shared information so I could do further research if I wanted. She is patient, friendly and listens well and never made me feel stupid when I had questions or shared concerns. I highly recommend Teresa and Crackerjack Canines.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Teresa and her training program. We started with Judy at 9 weeks and it was amazing to see how she responded to the training. She really helped us understand our puppy and her needs. Teresa was always available to help out with random questions or quick problem solving. She catered the program for us and provided fun activities to help my daughter bond with her new puppy in a healthy and calm way.If you are looking around for a puppy trainer, you can stop here. Call Teresa, you will not regret it!

Excellent experience, was able to get my dog to do what I needed him to do. We are also working with him to become an “owner-trained” service dog and he will be taking steps this year towards certification

Teresa provided a really positive training experience for our Boston Terrier pup Deja, a sweet, timid little girl.Teresa was knowledgeable and professional, and tailored the individualized training to fit Deja’s needs and personality. Her expertise led to a very beneficial, successful, and fun Puppy Start Right course for Deja and for us!

I have a rescue dog that has come with a variety of issues. I had been trying to work through them with some other trainers but nothing seemed to work. I love my dog but was at the end of my rope when I found Crackerjack Canines. Within the first ten minutes of talking to Teresa I knew she was the trainer for me.Even though my dog is 2 1/2 she suggested starting from the beginning with specific puppy training. I learned a lot about training with positive reinforcement and a clicker. I was surprised at how well my dog responded. I was also surprised by the amount of other people that noticed the change in my dog.What I really loved about Teresa was her investment in me and my dog. She truly wanted us to succeed. She offered pamphlets, books, videos, and was available by text or email with any questions and concerns. You can tell she loves her job.I highly recommend Teresa Untereiner.

The trainer is such a lovely person and is really good at her job

Teresa is kind, perceptive, thoughtful, and wise. She takes the time to understand the motivation of challenging animal behaviour, uses her extensive knowledge and experience to come up with a plan, and then provides clear and sensitive guidance.
