Directory of Dog Trainers Near Chicago Harbor Lighthouse, IL, US

We specialize in training you and your family practical methods that result in the type of dog you are proud to bring anywhere at anytime. Our goal is for your dog to enjoy the best life possible!

All training is one-on-one and customized to your dog’s individual temperament and circumstances. No two dogs are alike and no dog training should be the same for every family’s situation. Together, we set goals that are customized to your dog’s behavioral needs, your family’s environment and schedule. Training begins in your home before progressing to a public setting, such as a park, where we will solidify our dog training around real world distractions. This is the most rewarding part of the process....the real world!

Does your Dachshund dash out the door and escape down the street when it can? The nipping, biting and chewing was cute as a puppy but now your Great Dane’s jaws are the size of… Jaws. Does your Pit Bull sing to Pitbull, barking and howling to the beat? Or maybe your retriever puppy pulls on the leash with so much passion she must be going for the gold? Does your Boxer need to prove her bark isn’t bigger than her bite by becoming aggressive, protective and/or dominant? What a treat to find your Boston Terrier’s terrible separation anxiety is only relieved once he’s destroyed the furniture and your running shoes? Does your skittish Skittles the Spaniel hide under the bed to avoid the lurking vacuum cleaner? Doe your high-energy German Shepherd jump on guests before you can say ‘Schnauzer!?’ Perhaps that bulldog’s love for digging up the backyard is really digging into your wallet… Start your families’ journey towards obedience and love with private lessons from our specialists, or achieve focus fast with our Doggie Bootcamp Board & Train Program!
