Canine Craze Performance Center, Urbandale IA

Completed the puppy life XL course recently and the trainers were awesome! They were always willing to answer my questions and gave awesome advice. Just start led level 2 course so we will see how that goes!

So far so good haven't started puppy classes yet, but the receptionist was very nice and very helpful

Great spot for training. Our 3 year old rescue GSD is learning proper manners thanks to the amazing staff.

I have taken two classes so far with my pup and have enjoyed them both. I have learned not only how to train my dog but the science behind it as well which is both interesting and helpful. The trainers have been great to work with.

Currently, I have my six month old Border Collie, Hazel taking classes with CC. We have had a great time learning skills with her. Trainers have done a very fine job. They give us the knowledge and tools to help us make her a better behaved dog. I would like to add that most people who sign up for classes realize the in person classes & training is for the human. The human learns how to get the goals accomplished, and then it is up to the human to work with the dog to reach set goals. If anyone thinks they'll just go to a class once a week and your dog will be good to go are sorely mistaken. It is up to the human to train, train and train some more to reach goals. Canine Craze offers a fun environment, easily followed weekly instructions and trainers are approachable.

The woman who ran the training classes was very passive aggressive and rude towards us. We had a very energetic, easily excitable puppy and every time it jumped on her she would give us dirty looks and would just tell us “she needs to learn to not jump”. Very unprofessional.
One time, she kept grabbing our puppy by her collar and attempted to force her to sit, our puppy peed on her shoe due to fear.
I’m honestly shocked that this lady is even a trainer. She didn’t help anyone, she just stood at the front of the class and told us what to do without demonstrating with each individual puppy. Extremely unprofessional.

We hired Canine Craze to address one particular issue with a rescue dog. Over three sessions costing more that $100 an hour, this issue was directly addressed for roughly 15 minutes. Weeks later, the problem came to a head and cost me extreme financial and physical loss. I would not repeat the experience with this outfit. $100+ training sessions were a few minutes of the trainer demonstrating a skill and then watching us perform it and chit chatting. Hire someone else.

Really enjoying classes here. Becky & other instructors explain the how and why very well. Highly reccomend.

I have had several classes with a couple of my K9s and they have LOVED each and every class. My K9s became much more confident, and far more obedient:) The instructors have always shown a sincere interest in all their furry students' success and were always ever-ready to help with any specific issues that might come up. My furry kids absolutely look forward to going to "school" at Canine Craze and it makes my heart full to see that in them!

Very disappointing my family took my puppy here for training for only 2 days and the 2nd day my puppy came home completely worn out and wasn't even able to open his eyes all the way, stand without falling over, and dry heaving. He was completely out it for the rest of the day u till the next morning.we called to ask if they were giving out any medication to the dogs to help them with training or to calm down and they continued to say that my puppy might have epilepsy. This is not the case as we followed up with the vet the next day saying that he does not have epilepsy and that they could've given him a small dosage of medication. This is not what we signed up for or agreed to.very heart breaking to see my dog in this condition.

Canine Craze is amazing! They have so many different classes to help you build a relationship with you dog! They are also great with fearful dogs like one of mine is. They have helped to boost his confidence and to teach me ways to help him outside of class!

Boyfriend and I have been taking our dog Otto to the agility classes. We love the training style here. Otto is not a super confident dog, but I think the training has helped a lot with that. We have gotten to see him over come his fears of some of the equipment. Jumps were very scary at first. We love working with Tabetha! She’s been able to fine tune how we work with Otto so that he is more comfortable and confident:)

I always recommend this place to people now for training.

The trainers are so nice and supportive! Great tips for my specific dog and our problem areas.
