Tim Crawford has been training dogs for 11 years. He had trained with a few trainers before becoming impressed with the control methods of  Joe Kidd. For the last five years they have establsihed what has become a great team now known as The Illinois K-9 Training Club and school. Training over 30 dogs weekly and sharpening his skill daily, he will be a force to be reckoned with. To start he has already won a couple of competitions and to his credit has trained more than five Champion competitors dogs. One of his strong beliefs is that in order to have a "trained" dog, you must know what he/she will do in real life stressfull situations. For instance if your dog has never bitten anyone, does that mean the dog will not bite someone. The truth is, the only way to know what your dog will and wont do is through experience. We not only believe in testing a dogs temperment or limitations. We believe very strongly that those situations should be controled. Here are a few pics testing a dog under stressfull situations.

1.Would your dog sit and stay when told while a stranger tries to offer it great smelling food?

2.If you were attacked by someone how would your dog react and could you control him/her?

3.If there is no obvious threat,can your dog exude the confidence to ignore a stranger and tolerate and invite into your space?
