Crank's Custom Canines - Temecula, California

It’s been six months since I enrolled my year old Malinois in training, and the results are amazing. I feel completely comfortable and confident in being able to have her off leash. This training has transformed our relationship for the better and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their dog's behavior and strengthen their bond.

Gene and Jen are wonderful. We started with three reactionary dogs and now have dogs we feel confident taking out in public. We have been given the tools to continue to train our dogs in new situations and feel confident in doing so. Both us and our dogs have a better life because of Crank's.

Gene did a incredible job with our dogs! We first took our at the time 5 month Doberman/Rottweiler mix because she would bark at people and other dogs on walks and we were concerned it would turn into aggression! After her first class we notice a difference we did the 10 class and he really taught us how to work with her and she completely changed her behavior! She is now so well behaved that people will even compliment us on how well behave she is and she’s now confident and super sweet with strangers and other dogs! We recently got a 4 month husky puppy and we right away decided to take her to Gene and again he did so great with her he really was patient with her since she sometimes has attitude and she’s such a great puppy! I definitely recommend going to Gene!

Alright where do I start? Firstly- I’d leave 100 stars if I could. My border collie mix puppy dog, Izabelle, was one HOT head for the last 2 1/2 years of her life due to being around another extremely aggressive dog from 10 weeks to 7 months old. She picked up just about EVERY bad habit this other dog exhibited while they coexisted together. She legitimately was a massive liability as she did not like anyone or anything outside of our immediate family. I couldn’t take her on walks, to the park, events … literally anywhere without her trying to lunge or bark at anything she could see. She especially was not getting along with my husbands golden doodle, Kingston. We moved into a home together and it was a living hell trying to keep them separate. We knew she needed major training and training I could never afford prior. My husband put out the money in hopes of a better quality of life for everyone including Izabelle. I didn’t have much faith prior to sending her off to Cranks for her board and train but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I thought Izabelle was stuck in her ways due to her “older” age to start professional training. Let me tell you- we struck GOLD. Izabelle is now living her BEST life thanks the knowledge and expertise of Jen and Gene at Cranks custom canines. She can go on walks, go to parks, hang out with family and friends… If my 2 1/2 year old, extremely reactive and aggressive pup can get the help she needed- trust me yours can too and don’t hesitate to put your trust in Gene and Jen. Wonderful, kind people with hearts of gold for dogs in need of professional training. They are wonderful communicators and set personalized goals for your pup in need. I recommend them 100X’s over!

I couldn’t have been more grateful to have found Gene from Cranks Custom Canines. I love the knowledge, confidence, and passion Gene posses. He & his team are truly a gift for dogs and families in search of quality dog training. My Rottie (Peaches) was an ultra reactive pup living in fear. I felt awful for her but, also scared of what these fearful reactions would lead to. The stress and anxiety between myself & poor Peaches were at a all time high. After meeting Gene, he not only explained the psychological aspects of training but also displayed the ability to work with my dog effectively. I can’t stress how many times I spoke to someone claiming they could train my dog & during consultation they could not manage the dog. Gene is experienced & through his teaching (myself ) my 5 & 6 year old can give Peaches commands and she responds accordingly to their request. He COMPLETELY changed my Peaches overall quality of life which means less stress for me and our family. We have a HAPPY, well trained Rottweiler no longer living in fear of sounds, things or people. We can now ENJOY her as a family. Thank you Gene & Jen from the bottom of our hearts.

Finding Cranks Custom K9 was such a huge blessing! When I brought Severus home he started showing some resource guarding immediately. Every other trainer was telling us to send him back to the breeder, except for Gene! We did the 7 lesson package and after only 1 lesson we were able to work through this issue. And now that we have finished all 7 lessons, Severus is one of the most well behaved/happy puppies I have seen because of the tools/techniques we learned in our lessons. Gene really cares about your dog and is always just a phone call or text away even after you compete all the lessons in your package. So thankful that we have him as our trainer/support system on this journey!

What a great company! We could not be happier with what Gene and Jen did with our dog Clyde. We were at our wits end with Clyde with several behavior issues and just a general lack of discipline. We opted for the 3 weeks of in house training with several training sessions with Gene after.

During the 3 weeks, we received updates on Clyde’s progress in addition to cool pics of Clyde enjoying his environment. They don’t just train your dog, they build a trusting relationship with them as well.

Gene and Jen did several training sessions with us out in the local parks allowing us to work on stuff with Clyde in a real world environment after the in-house training.

We dropped off Clyde an undisciplined hardcore puller and just a typical puppy. He came came back a well disciplined dog. Fully trained on an e-collar (that is rarely needed) with all the basic commands. He comes on command, heels, sits, stays, and we now have a dog that we can comfortably walk off leash for several mile walks each day.

We couldn’t thank Gene and Jen enough. Well worth the time and money spent.

I can’t thank Crank’s Custom Canines enough. My dog was displaying reactive behaviors and Gene was phenomenal at explaining how to help her overcome that. She did a 3 week board and train and it’s been night and day. Jen was so attentive with communication by sending pictures, videos, and updates. She helped put my mind at ease. We’re still training with Crank’s and will continue to do so with a new pup in the future. Thank you Gene and Jen!
