Tabitha Crane

Phoenix, AZ

CPDT-KA | Dog Training

Founded in 2020 by certified dog trainer Tabitha Crane, Cranium Dog Training has brought thoughtful one-on-one training to the Phoenix area. Tabitha can help bridge the language gap between you and your canine companion. You no longer need to be at a loss when your dog acts out and you don’t know what he needs with Tabitha’s holistic approach where relationship, environment, health and behavior are all considered. While some may argue dogs are stubborn and belligerent, Tabitha believes that if there is a behavioral breakdown then there is an unmet canine need that needs to be fulfilled. Combine that with some tried and true training methods and you get a well-behaved dog who can handle the real world.

See RescueBehavior.com RESCUE BEHAVIORwas created to provide behavior support for rescue dogs who are attempting to cope in their new lives. It is affordable training, behavior modification and consultation to help meet the great need for our canine rescue community.​​RESCUE BEHAVIORspecializes in dogs who are victims of abuse, trauma, neglect and abandonment. Severe fear, separation/isolation anxiety, sensitivities, resource guarding, aggression, reactivity and impulse behaviors are common to dogs with a traumatic past. Adopters who've welcomed these special pups into their homes can sometimes be at a loss when trying to help their new family member. Very few trainers are qualified, equipped or willing to meet the needs of these special dogs. That is why Rescue Behavior exists. ABOUT MEJason Lee Davis, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KAI am a Certified Canine Behavior Consultant and Certified Professional Dog Trainer.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I specialize in rescue dogs who've endured abuse, trauma, neglect, and abandonment. With a background in shelter & rescue animal behavior, I now strive to provide qualified, affordable post-adoption behavior support through private in-home training sessions, consultation and group classes.
