Board and trainProgram details
This is a 2-week board and train program designed to help dogs that have trouble with obedience, impulse control, and reactivity. We use training sessions, activity logs, as well as fitness and sleep trackers to make sure they are well rested and well exercised! By the end of two weeks, you will go home with a well-behaved dog, a training log of their improvements, and a plan for their future! In this program we work on the following: loose leash walking, sit, down, recall, impulse control, jumping, counter-surfing, mouthing, nipping, and more!
This is a 3-week board and train program designed to help dogs that have trouble with aggression, social issues, and reactivity. Similar to our 2-week program, your dog will have daily training sessions, activity logs, as well as fitness and sleep trackers in order to monitor progress and make sure they are well rested and well exercised! The main difference for our 3-week program is that it gives us an extra week to help get to the root of the issues with aggression and social disorders. This time allows the dog to get comfortable in its new environment so that we can identify what is causing the unwanted behaviors. In this program we work on the following: aggression, food and/or resource guarding, separation anxiety, severe fear issues, reactivity on-leash, and everything else listed in our 14-day program!

AKC Community CanineProgram details
This four class package is the next step for your dog after AKC Urban Canine. To earn the CGCA title, the dog must be registered or listed with AKC and have a Canine Good Citizen title on record. In AKC Community Canine, dogs can earn the CGCA (Advanced CGC) title. The goal of AKC Community Canine is to test the dog’s skills in a natural setting. For example, rather than the dog being tested in a ring, in AKC Community Canine, the “walks through a crowd” test item will involve the dog walking through a real crowd at a dog show, on a busy sidewalk, at a training club or in a local park. This class includes a free test and certification through the American Kennel Club!
AKC Urban CanineProgram details
This four class package is the next step for your dog after Canine Good Citizen Class. AKC Urban Canine requires that the dog demonstrates CGC skills and beyond in an urban setting. As with Canine Good Citizen, AKC Urban Canine has a 10-step test of skills that dogs must pass to earn the official AKC Urban CGC title. This class includes a free test and certification through the American Kennel Club!

Our 9 month old English Bulldog, Mac, has been going to Crafty Canine since August. Don and his staff have been absolutely amazing at all of his stays. Not only is Mac listening better, but he also plays amazingly well with other dogs. Don and crew give you the tools to help continue the training at home, which has been super helpful. They also do an amazing job sending videos and photos throughout the stay so we see how much Mac is enjoying his time there!

Don and his team are incredible. They are super communicative and run a stellar operation. Our pack of three dogs have stayed there twice for short stay and will be staying for two weeks while we are getting married abroad. We have signed them up for obedience training and cannot wait to see the results. Each time we pick up the pack, they are exhausted. The photo updates Don provides is a great touch to keep tabs on them while we are away.

If you need a dog trainer or a place to board your pup this is THE place! I love their business model and their kind/patient approach to training and caring for dogs. We originally found them to help our dog with his excessive barking. I don't know what kind of voodoo magic they use to keep all the dogs at the facility from barking but it is incredible. They are a no bark facility...I'll say that again, a NO bark facility. They keep the dogs relaxed and calm with soothing music. Our puppy LOVES coming here. It feels like we're dropping him off at a spa retreat instead of just an average boarding kennel place. I feel so confident that our dog is in the best care when we leave him here. So grateful for Crafty Canine.

I truly cannot say enough good things about boarding my pups with Crafty. Don and his team take such good care of my pups that I have no worries whatsoever while they're with them. Our most recent trip - our airlines delayed and canceled our flights back home. We were no longer going to be able to make our original pick up time, but Crafty told me to not worry about it whatsoever. They kept me updated daily with pictures and how the pups were doing. When we did pick them up, Gabe brought out the pups and filled me in on their time with them and how well they did. When my pups were a bit too excited coming out, I was impressed at how well he worked with them! I'm so happy to have found such a great place that my pups can visit and enjoy themselves while we're gone. Thanks Crafty!!

I have had such a wonderful experience with Crafty Canine Club!!!
I boarded my pups, Odin and Freya, for a weekend stay. Every day, including the day I dropped them off, I was sent videos and pictures of them enjoying their time. When I picked them up Sunday afternoon, they slept like rocks until the next day as they had had such a good time! They even ate all their food that I sent them with - something that has never happened at other boarding facilities I have tried in the past. Their prices were very reasonable, especially compared to other dog boarding places I've boarded them where they were not as communicative with me, didn't provide as much structure/one-on-one time and charged more in price.
Odin and Freya have also worked with Don one-on-one with a walk and train session at my home. He taught us some great techniques to work with the pups on on our daily walks. He provided some really helpful easy to understand blog posts on topics like loose leash walking, using a gentle leader and more. He's quick to respond to questions with helpful information and tools that I have been able to implement successfully. Already I'm seeing an improvement in both pups with their responses to commands, and one pup's anxiety.
I think both of the pups and I are excited for their next stay at Crafty Canine Club! Thank you Don, and all the staff at Crafty Canine Club who took such good care of my pups!

Would love to have seen a video of the dogs in the sleeping room.
They were very good about answering questions anytime of the day.
Cassie came away from this training camp being a much calmer and more well behaved dog.
Cassie will love coming back for overnights or longer stays.
