Hello, my name is Hunter Crawford, and I am the owner and lead trainer at Cloud-9 Canines. With 7 years of experience in dog training, I have had the privilege of working with successful board-and-train businesses, earning a diploma in dog behavior and obedience, and being mentored by several prominent trainers in the field. I am also certified in pet CPR and first aid.

As someone who is disabled and a service dog handler, I am deeply committed to training dogs for individuals with a wide range of disabilities. I specialize in training mobility dogs for veterans and other individuals with mobility impairments, as well as psychiatric alert/response dogs for those with psychiatric disabilities. I also train medical alert/response dogs for conditions such as migraines, POTS, vertigo, etc and also have success in training allergen detection dogs for a variety of allergens.

Training is not just my career—it's my passion and calling. I am dedicated to continually expanding my knowledge and improving my skills to provide the best possible training for both dogs and their handlers. Every day, I strive to be a better trainer than I was the day before.
