Positive Dog Training in Chicago That Gets Results

We have successfully trained thousands of dogs just like yours over many years, using our proven methodology. Our training system is based on exercises that are expertly curated, so we can start transforming behaviors right away. If you follow our guidance, we feel confident that your dog will make amazing progress. View Our Testimonials.
Our positive approach motivates your dog to learn the behaviors more quickly and reliably than other methods. He will be much happier than negative techniques that many other trainers use, such as shock collars or choke chains, the use of fear or intimidation, or physical correction such as yanking on the leash. We motivate dogs by using rewards and praise. Rewards can be phased out at your discretion once your dog learns the behaviors.
We have one of the largest teams of trainers in Chicagoland, and they are second to none. Each trainer is very knowledgeable about dog behavior, and is dedicated towards your success. They must also be certified and gain continuing education in order to be employed here. Each trainer is also very professional and friendly, and we feel confident that you will enjoy working with them. View Our Team.
Whatever your challenge, budget, or lifestyle, we can help you. Most other training businesses cannot provide our breadth of services, or address our scope of behaviors. We offer a wide variety of options at our facilities or in your home, for any age or breed of dog, and for just about any behavior. See below for more information on each option.
Many places make unrealistic promises that you will get back the perfect dog and will never need to do anything differently. This cannot be farther from the truth - if you don't use the proper commands, language, gestures, rewards, equipment, posture, and tone with your dog, your dog is sure to revert to unwanted behaviors. In our program, we teach you, because you are the one with him each day and need to know how to instill the behaviors you desire.
We have a quiet. standalone training center at 1046 W Fulton, located right around the corner from our pet resort. We have training equipment, such as cones, barriers, stuffed dogs, confidence-building toys, and more. We can also involve multiple trainers, and possibly even other dogs, into training exercises.
All of our training programs include access to TrainTrack, our online portal for watching videos and descriptions of the exercises taught. In addition, private lessons include the ability to upload videos to your trainer, log your progress, and view more information that was covered in the sessions.

Working with a professional trainer is much better than trying to go it alone, even if you are watching online videos.
When you try to train your dog yourself, including by watching videos on the Internet, there will surely be many times that you need a professional to correct your technique, answer your questions, and help troubleshoot if your dog's behaviors don't go according to script. There is no match for having our expertise to guide you along the way. Trying to sift through hundreds of videos on Youtube or the Internet can lead to a lot of wasted time! There are a lot of different opinions and mixed signals, and different videos may touch on only small components. On the other hand, we have curated the best exercises and advice, and package it up in a nice neat bow for you, so you can get right to work and not try to decipher what makes sense and what is just fluff or old, outdated advice from people who may not even be dog trainers. Our trainer can come to your home and see what may be triggering your dog's behaviors, then recommend adjustments. There is no substitute for customized advice based on your specific environment and your particular dog.
