CRK9 Idaho is a professional dog training business located in Caldwell, ID, led by certified trainers Allie Roberts and Kevin Roberts. They offer personalized dog training services including Board & Train, Private Lessons, and Group Classes designed to address behavioral issues and build obedience. Their Board & Train program provides intensive, one-on-one training while your dog stays at their facility, ideal for reactivity, separation anxiety, and leash pulling. Private Lessons offer customized guidance tailored to your dog’s unique needs and your goals, while Group Classes foster socialization and structured learning in small, supportive groups of 8–10 dogs. Both trainers combine psychology-based behavior modification with hands-on experience, helping dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels—including high-drive working and herding breeds—become calm, confident, and well-mannered companions. They also provide weekly progress videos, home reinforcement guidance, and ongoing support after training. Their facility-based programs ensure a controlled, distraction-rich environment for effective learning.

Allie holds a degree in Health Science and Psychology and has experience in behavioral therapy, while Kevin brings military discipline and extensive hands-on experience rehabilitating rescued and abused animals. Together, they emphasize positive, relationship-based training methods that build trust between dogs and owners. They guarantee results and are known for their compassionate, patient approach and deep understanding of canine behavior.

CRK9 Idaho also provides specialized support for dogs with separation anxiety, reactivity, fearfulness, and aggression, and they cater to families with children, working dogs, and multi-dog households. They require up-to-date vaccinations for all dogs in group classes and encourage family participation in training sessions.
