In 2015 I met the amazing dog, Delilah, who changed the course of my life. When I adopted her at 3 years old, she was afraid of men, machines and training. After finding positive training, she became the bomb proof dog she is today. I began taking local classes, and online education through the APDT in 2016. In 2020 I completed my education with Animal Behavior College and founded my business, Cranium Dog Training. I've been enjoying training with Phoenix families ever since. I was certified through the CCPDT in 2023 to earn the CPDT-KA.

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.
