Private dog training in Chicago
Our trainers come to your home and teach you how to work with your dog using positive reinforcement. Explore the options below, or request a free phone consultation to discuss where to start.
What happens in the first session?
We start by teaching everyone involved in your dog’s training the basics. That gives you a shared starting point before we work on the specific skills and behavior goals you want to address.
Puppy training
For puppies between two and six months old. Learn potty training, crate routines, basic cues, socialization, and how to handle common puppy behaviors such as nipping and jumping.
Five one-hour sessions: $450.
Adult dog training
Learn how to work with your dog on leash walking, recall, barking, jumping, and everyday manners. We build on the basics and practice the skills that fit your goals.
Adult package: five one-hour sessions for $500.
Basic package: three one-hour sessions for $300.
Dog aggression management
Work with a trainer at home to understand your dog’s triggers and learn how to manage their behavior. Tell us about your concerns so we can discuss whether this service is suitable for your dog.
Basic package: three one-hour sessions for $400.
Advanced package: five one-hour sessions for $600.
