Being away from home can give dogs the blues. That’s why our facility for dog boarding in Chicago (Lincoln Park) has spacious, custom-built suites for your pet.

a little dog training goes a long way
We know you want your dog to feel its best and part of that is teaching them how to behave. Sometimes that can be a challenge between work, family, and other responsibilities. That’s where our Positive Dog Training program comes into play. We can bridge the gap between you and your dog to make sure you’re communicating in a language you both can understand in a quick and efficient way. Working with our certified and caring trainers, we create a fun learning environment designed to help you both succeed.
We work with puppies and even adult dogs. Give us a call today to learn about our options including one-on-one sessions, group classes, and our ever popular ‘Stay & Train’ program (call for availability), where we work on training basics while your dog is boarding or staying for daycare. Through our three tier ‘Stay & Train’ program, your dog will learn behaviors like sit, fetch, how to not jump up, and be a Canine Good Citizen. Then, at the end of the course, we’ll work with you to show how to keep up with the training at home. Call us today and we’ll help you pick out a program that will work with you and your dog.
Dog Training Options Include:
- Group Classes
- Private Lessons
- Stay & Train
- Seminars
