In 2015, Tabitha Crane met an incredible dog named Delilah, who transformed the trajectory of her life. Upon adopting Delilah at the age of 3, she exhibited fear towards men, machinery, and training. Through the implementation of positive training methods, Delilah evolved into the composed and confident dog she is today.
Tabitha embarked on her journey by attending local classes and pursuing online education through the APDT in 2016. Her educational pursuits culminated in 2020 when she completed her studies with the Animal Behavior College, subsequently establishing her business, Cranium Dog Training. Since then, she has taken pleasure in providing training services to families in Phoenix.
In 2023, Tabitha earned her CPDT-KA certification through the CCPDT. Her certifications include ABCDT and CPDT-KA, with corresponding designations. Her training philosophy centers around the humane hierarchy, prioritizing the welfare of both the dog and its owner. Through the application of positive reinforcement training, she has witnessed remarkable transformations and firmly believes that training need not be a struggle.
Cranium Dog Training, founded in 2020 by certified dog trainer Tabitha Crane, offers personalized training in the Phoenix area. Tabitha is adept at bridging the communication gap between pet owners and their canine companions.
