The 10-step CGC test is a non-competitive test for all dogs, including purebreds and mixed breeds. It is a prerequisite for many therapy dog groups and some homeowner’s insurance companies and apartment complexes over discounts on pet rent if you have this certification. This class includes a free test and certification through the American Kennel Club!

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!

Very impressed by Crafty Canine Club so far! My pup Blue is afraid of almost everything but they did a great job slowly integrating him in with the other dogs and gave me multiple suggestions on how to help him relax. I was very worried dropping him off since it was the first time he was being boarded and within 20 minutes Don sent me a video of Blue wagging his tail and smiling with 2 other dogs. I greatly appreciated this and felt much better about leaving him for the weekend. I’ll be bringing him back soon!

I am very impressed with Crafty Canine Club! We just completed the 2-week board & train program, and I feel empowered & motivated to break some bad habits that were making things harder for my puppy and causing unwanted behaviors. Every staff member is knowledgeable, patient, honest and understanding in our quest to be the best owners we can be and reach our goal of a calm, relaxed dog. I have already signed her up for another stay, and feel like she has another family. The videos, evaluation and instructions provided upon completion of the training are an excellent resource to transition your dog back home. Thank you!

Crafty Canine was an outstanding experience and I walked away happier and more hopeful than I thought possible. My dog, Hank, has been attacked more than once by other dogs and became insecure and leash reactive. Don provided a safe and structured environment for Hank to learn social skills and guided him through. In only two days, Hank was in the play yard with many other dogs, all different sizes and breeds, all peacefully coexisting!
Don was very responsive, professional and understanding. He did not just give me advice and help me understand what was going on with my dog, he gave me the confidence to continue training. I walked away feeling empowered and better equipped to train and handle my dog. I completely trust Crafty Canine and am so grateful to have a place where I can board Hank and know he will be safe, well-loved and cared for!
Other highlights:
1. Don took the time to get to know Hank himself. He didn't just take my word on Hank's behavior and immediately start trying to tell me what to do. He got the story and history from me, but took Hank and saw for himself what Hank needed.
2. Smaller play groups are a huge plus in my book! It means the handlers are better able to monitor the dogs and each dog gets more attention. Crafty Canine has a very large yard and keeps play groups SMALL so everyone has plenty of space to play and lounge!
3. Pictures and updates everyday!

I’ve taken my dog about 5 times now. He hated dogs and people the 1st time I took him but he has gotten better with both each time. A great price and a great place. He helps teach you so you can help train your dog instead of them losing everything they learned right when they leave

We rescued a samusky a week before Christmas and he had some training but he obviously had not been around other dogs at all. Don is amazing and has helped with getting our dog to be ok with other dogs and play and also leash training. We highly recommend crafty canine club not just for training but even boarding when things come up and you need to board your dog. Your dog is in great hands here and will have a great time! They send photos and videos of your dog through out the stay so you know they are happy and having a awesome time!
