Crawmers Grooming & Training

Crawmer’s Animal Training offers programs for every type of dog training, from basic obedience to advanced competition. Their agility program, introduced to the Capital District almost 30 years ago, is their largest, featuring unique transitional equipment that allows puppies to start training as early as 8 weeks old and accommodates dogs of all ages, including seniors.

Basic training classes are designed to prepare dogs and owners for real-life distractions, ensuring control in all situations, not just at home. They offer basic, intermediate, and advanced programs year-round, with both group classes and private sessions.

For specific needs, Crawmer’s provides in-kennel residential training, which includes a program for owners to follow after the dog’s stay. They also offer private and on-location instruction for problem correction, addressing issues like housebreaking, destructive behavior, aggression, and jumping. These services are available for dogs of all ages, including older and rescue dogs, with the goal of building a strong relationship between dog and owner.

Policies

Classes fill quickly and require early registration. Private and on-location visits, especially for emergency situations, need to be booked ahead.
