About Jennifer
Jennifer Crank is the owner and founder of IncrediPAWS Dog Training in Reynoldsburg, Ohio (east of Columbus). Jenn began training and showing dogs at the age of five. At seven, she earned her first agility title with the family sheltie. In 1993 Jenn got her first sheltie Skittles, and earned her first MACH.
Since that time, Jenn's dedicated partnerships with her dogs have taken them to the highest levels of competition.
