"This sweet baby face needs a good home! She’s sweet, spunky, energetic and her little soul needs lots of attention. She’s great with kids and loves to play with other dogs. Shes about 15 weeks old. Ready to go ASAP"

🐾 What a day on the trail! 🐾

A huge THANK YOU to Reagan Mann of Mann's Best Friends for holding an incredible trailing clinic last weekend! Her expertise, energy, and passion brought so much value to every dog and handler who hit the trail with us.

From working scent plumes to navigating real-world distractions, participants left with new tools, stronger teamwork, and happy, fulfilled pups. The smiles (and tails) say it all!

At Canine Craze, we’re so grateful to collaborate with professionals like Reagan who help our training community grow and thrive. Here’s to more trails, more learning, and more great days with great dogs.

I had so much fun hanging with all the wonderful people at Canine Craze Performance Center's Craze Trained Club and nerding out about Trailing and odor! We had a great seminar - can't wait for the hands on workshop in August!

Okay, a long training video for you... and more Barkley because the boy is brilliant and why not?!
Leave-It and Impulse Control is big for most dogs, but especially our puppies... they just want to DO! And that's awesome until the thing they want to do, grab, tug on, bite, etc. is no longer appropriate or safe. So we practice leaving things alone, especially in more realistic contexts like being outside, dropping food off a table, even something they were previously allowed to have but no longer can. Having a great leave-it (and out) is also super important for building cooperative play.
