Crank’s Custom Canines offers both Private Dog Training Packages and Board and Train Packages. Private lessons are typically one-hour sessions, divided into direct dog training and owner coaching, or full lessons dedicated to owner training. Onsite training progresses from low-distraction to more disruptive environments.
The Private Training Packages include:
* **8 Lesson Puppy Package**: Focuses on preventing puppy behavioral issues, basic obedience, socialization, and conditioned calming techniques. Includes one-on-one coaching and lifetime support.
* **12 Lesson Dog Training Package**: Covers reliable off-leash obedience (heeling, come, sit, down, stay, leash politeness), eliminating unwanted behaviors, structured socialization, and behavior modification for minor to moderate issues. Includes e-collar and prong, one-on-one coaching, and lifetime support.
* **17 Lesson Ultimate Training Package**: Builds on the 12-lesson package, offering advanced off-leash obedience, behavior modification for aggression, extreme fear, or severe issues, and structured socialization. Includes e-collar and prong, one-on-one coaching, and lifetime support.
Board and Train Packages offer intensive training in a structured environment, ideal for faster results and behavior modification, especially for fear, aggression, or socialization issues. Owner education is included to ensure continued success.
* **2 Weeks Board And Train Package**: Focuses on on-leash obedience in a home setting, suitable for retraining or quick issue resolution. Includes four private lessons and equipment.
* **3 Weeks Board And Train Package**: An immersive program covering advanced off-leash obedience (Sit, Down, Stay, Come, Heeling, leash manners) and most behavioral issues, trained to withstand high distractions. Includes six private lessons and equipment.
* **4 Weeks Board And Train Package**: An advanced option building on the 3-week program, strengthening behaviors and tackling severe entrenched behavioral issues. Includes eight private lessons and equipment.

Testimonials
“What a great company! We could not be happier with what Gene and Jen did with our dog Clyde. We were at our wits end with Clyde with several behavior issues and just a general lack of discipline. We opted for the 3 weeks of in house training with several training sessions with Gene after. During the 3 weeks, we received updates on Clyde’s progress in addition to cool pics of Clyde enjoying his environment. They don’t just train your dog, they build a trusting relationship with them as well. Gene and Jen did several training sessions with us out in the local parks allowing us to work on stuff with Clyde in a real world environment after the in-house training. We dropped off Clyde an undisciplined hardcore puller and just a typical puppy. He came came back a well disciplined dog. Fully trained on an e-collar (that is rarely needed) with all the basic commands. He comes on command, heels, sits, stays, and we now have a dog that we can comfortably walk off leash for several mile walks each day. We couldn’t thank Gene and Jen enough. Well worth the time and money spent.”
