Crystal’s life has always revolved around animals. She grew up in the swamps of Florida, where wildlife was part of everyday life and curiosity meant learning to stay calm, read body language, and respect boundaries. In 2017, she moved to New York and continued building hands-on experience while working on a farm focused on rare and endangered breeds. There, she cared for a wide range of animals including chickens, ducks, rabbits, pigs, sheep, goats, and llamas.
Dogs and cats have always been her favorite to work with. Crystal is a Certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and has helped train and certify many therapy dogs, guiding teams toward the temperament, manners, and reliability needed in real-world settings. She also specializes in behavioral modification, aggression rehabilitation, and safe e-collar training, combining structure with a thoughtful, compassionate approach for dogs that need clearer boundaries and better coping skills.
Over several years with Off Leash K9 Training, Crystal has worked with hundreds of dogs of every breed and temperament. She is known for helping owners understand the why behind behavior and giving them a practical plan they can follow with confidence. Her goal is to create calmer dogs, safer handling, and stronger relationships at home and in public.
Whether she is preparing a therapy dog team, addressing serious behavior challenges, or helping a family build dependable obedience, Crystal brings steady leadership, deep experience, and genuine care to every session.
