About Canine Craze Performance Center

Play-based training in Urbandale

Canine Craze Performance Center in Urbandale builds its training around relationship through play, using its own training system and clicker training. New owners can start with a free 15-day introductory course that covers the Canine Craze system, clicker training and dog training fundamentals.

Classes

In-person classes include puppy, obedience, Canine Good Citizen, agility, trick dog and therapy dog. Puppy classes focus on socialization, puppy playtime and common puppy problems, and puppies must be 4 months or younger to make the most of the critical socialization period. The obedience class, called Dog Perfect, teaches core skills, and extracurricular classes in agility, tricks, advanced obedience and therapy dog work are open to dogs that have completed it or tested out.

Other programs

Day School is a school for dogs during the day, a new spin on dog daycare. Private training gives individualized instruction targeting a problem behavior, and the Craze Trained Club is a community for dogs that already know basic obedience.
