Build the Bond that
Lasts a Lifetime!
The younger the
pup,
the easier the training is on the dog and you. Train before bad habits
set in. Although dogs can be trained at a later age, the best time to
start formal training is 4 to 6 months depending on maturity level.
Remember that training is up to you. Come to us with your issues and
goals and we’ll show you how not only to accomplish them, but
surpass them. We offer group classes, one on one private lessons (whole
family invited), and boot camp. Take your pick or mix your options.
Our Rules & Regulations regarding
vaccinations for all training options can be found here. We kindly request that you (or your vet) fax
ahead vaccination records to us at 630-232-8667.

Drop off your dog at the facility between 7:00am - 9:00am and pick
him/her up between 5:00pm - 6:30pm. During this time, we will train
your dog starting with basic obedience and work on behavioral issues.
With this option of training they rotate throughout the day with
training and also partake in daycare (if applicable). At the end of the
day the trainer will spend approx 10 minutes to give you a report on
your dog and instruct you how to continue in the home. At some point it
is highly recommended that at least one private lesson take place to
thoroughly go through and teach the owners how to properly maintain a
healthy relationship between dog and owner in the home.

Boot Camp
$1295.00 per dog for On Leash
$1295.00 per dog for Off Leash
During boot camp the dog stays with us! We place the foundation:
obedience, manners, consistency, and behavioral issues are worked. This
includes, but not limited to: heel, sit, down, stay, come, begging,
jumping, nipping, territorial w/food or bones, public situations,
driving in the car, etc. This is great for those who have serious
problems or simply just do not have the time or patience.
All canines have individual personalities & aptitude levels.
There
are many reasons that factor into the time needed... such as age, type
of
problem(s), goals desired by the owner, etc. therefore, the weekly
minimums may vary +/- with each canine.
On leash is 3 weeks. Off leash is an additional 3 weeks. On leash and
off leash training can be done all at once or split into two time
frames. Included in this program is one lesson per week that the dog
stays with us. For example, the dog stays with us 3 weeks…
you will
get 3 one hour private lessons to show you what and how you need to
continue. The first lesson must take place the day the dog goes home.
Although you will not be able to ‘visit’ with your
dog
during his stay, you can see him and we will put on a demonstration to
show you what progress he has made to date. The dog will not know you
are there. Shows are by
request/appointment
only.

as inventory allows. Please show up on time for the classes to avoid
interruption and repetitiveness to the other students.
We do limit class sizes. Depending on outcome we may need to split a
class into 2 classes; one of which will switch to a different night and
time.

class, Tuesday evenings from 6:30pm to 7:30pm
This class requires a 6-foot leash (preferably leather, but not
required) and a collar. You may stop in prior to class to
discuss the proper training collar (if needed) or show up a little
early to be properly
fitted.
In this popular class you will learn basic on leash commands. You will
be transitioning from treats to your vocal and physical praising.
Besides learning the basic commands the end results of this class is to
have the dog focus on you… to listen to your commands the
first
time you ask despite all the distractions. You will learn to teach your
dog on leash to: Heel, Sit, Down, Sit Stay, Down Stay, and Come. We
also cover the topics of housebreaking, chewing, biting, jumping,
socialization, and any specific problems you may be having with your
dog. You will be given “homework” between classes.
There is
a final demonstration test the last day of class. If you pass, you are
free to move to the intermediate class. If you do not pass, you either
need to repeat basic obedience class, schedule daily train sessions, or
take private lessons until you
are able to pass the test.

issues. You will again be given “homework” between
classes.
There is a final demonstration test the last day of class. If you pass,
