About CRK9 Idaho

Real-world obedience in Caldwell

CRK9 Idaho offers professional dog training in Caldwell through board and train programs, private lessons and group classes. It helps dogs with leash pulling, reactivity, poor recall and disobedience, and works with all breeds, ages and behavior types, from family puppies to high-drive working dogs. Its approach blends structured training, clear communication and real-world fieldwork, with the goal of a dog that listens under distraction, responds off leash and behaves well in everyday situations.

Programs

In board and train, the dog stays with the trainers and gets structured training every day in real-world environments, aimed at issues such as leash pulling, reactivity toward people or dogs, poor recall and ignoring commands. Private lessons are one-on-one sessions that coach both dog and handler, suited to puppies, specific behavior problems and ongoing support after board and train. Group classes practice obedience around distractions, with the focus on control rather than free play. Puppy development and behavior modification are also offered.

The team

Founder Allie Roberts grew up in Idaho, earned a degree in Health Science and Psychology at Boise State University and worked in behavioral therapy before turning to dog training.
