Pet Boarding Training in Chicago

“Josie LOVES sit social and we absolutely love to bring her here because we can tell how happy and excited she gets when we arrive just at the door. Once we walk inside, she forgets about me and dashes into the room! The people who work here are really sweet and kind, making it trustworthy for us to bring Josie here. We love receiving the pup updates during Josie’s stay here and seeing the cutest photos! I’ve done a ton of research before selecting a daycare to bring Josie to and this place definitely gave me a sense a relief. Thank you Sit Social for loving Josie as much as we do.“

“We’ve been sending our dog(s) there since 2017 and it’s always been great. Sean is super flexible on pickup/drop off days. The vans have AC for the summer, which is uncommon. All of his employees are super friendly and you can tell they love the dogs just as much as we do. And best of all, the dogs love it and come home tired. Pack Life is the best!“

“We sent our dog Apollo to a week of board & train with Ty, Kyle, and Laura while we were away on our honeymoon. We were initially trepidatious because we had never done anything like this for our dog. Now, walking Apollo is like walking with a brand new dog! They did such a great job working with him on his bad walking habits. They also worked with him on his separation anxiety--I was so impressed! The best part was seeing how happy Apollo was to see Ty and Kyle during our recap lesson; it really lets you know that your dog not only learned, but that the staff at Bow Wow treats the dogs beautifully. I am definitely going to continue his training with Bow Wow! he loved it and we love the results!“

“Love this BoB for my pup. Great service; the daycare and boarding service are affordable and top tier! Everyone on staff is caring, knowledgeable, and dedicated.“

“Hasani is more than your average dog trainer. He has an expert-level understanding of canine behavioral shaping and modification strategies. Virgil, our 11-month-old Doberman Pinscher, completed the 3 week board and train program. He was already a good boy, but still had some annoying puppy behaviors and needed more obedience in general, as he could be quite willful at times.When Virgil returned from the board and train, his behavior was vastly improved, and many of his annoying behaviors were virtually eliminated. He also acquired many new skills and commands that make it easier to manage him in any situation, and help him to better regulate fears and anxieties so that he is a more calm and confident dog.Hasani took a lot of time to really educate on how to interact with Virgil for the best results. I learned a lot about proper leash-handling, behavioral redirection, and productive play that I never would have considered, and haven’t heard from any other trainer or class. This continues into the generous follow-up sessions that he provides.We wanted Virgil to be the sort of dog that can be taken to public spaces, social gatherings, and on trips. Hasani certainly delivered on this. I would say that the program works for more than just dogs with problem behaviors, and is a great investment in providing the best quality of life for you and your dog. Hasani is patient, knowledgeable, and clearly brings a high level of integrity into his work.“

“New client and very impressed with Molly at Western Wag! My dog's very first time staying with them, had something unexpected come up that interfered with pickup plans. Molly was amazing and helped come up with a backup plan, treated us like family even though we were first time clients. Pup was very happy after her day of play. We will be back!“

“Been taking my baby for a couple of
Months now and i feel
Extremely safe knowing his there getting take care of by these amazing people never had a problem“

“This is the first class we have taken at Paws Chicago Training Center it is a great facility and our instructor is great! We are taking the AKC Canine Good Citizen Class“

“We took the Foundations course with our 7-month old puppy and it was great! Margaret was a phenomenal instructor (very good with the dogs and people). The class only had 5 dogs, so there was plenty of space to work.“

“Best dog Training facility by far. Wouldn't trust my 2 Great Danes with anyone else. Tony and Mike are amazing and so professional. My dogs are so tranformed and well behaved now.“

“I love earth pups so so much! They take such great care of my two dogs Sheldon and wolfie! I've always had anxiety boarding my dogs but I know now when I bring my dogs here that everything will be alright :) the staff is amazing! Thank you earth pups!!“

“Woodlawn Animal Hospital has taken great care of my cat and the staff are really nice (to people and pets!)“

“Kim and Team were absolutely wonderful. We completed Basic Obedience and Continuing Basic Obedience with our 1.5 yr old husky puppy, who is a lot . . . even for a husky. Not only did she learn new skills, but her ability to listen and focus greatly improved. Kim's methods focusing on clear commands are what every dog need to succeed!“

“Highly recommend Canine Perspectives, I am so thankful that we found Elizabeth, Jesse and the team to help us with training for our dog Pablo. It changed our lives and his! They are the absolute best in Chicago.

Pablo went to training, boarding and daycare and each service they offer is great. Thank you thank you for everything you do!“

“Nick and his team at Off Leash Canine are one of a kind! With Nick’s vast knowledge of canine psychology and 20+ years of experience working with dogs, he has helped my dog (Henry) and I so much in training. Henry now comes when called, knows an array of commands and walks beautifully on the leash, all because of Nicks 1:1 sessions with us. We also utilize Nick’s dog walking services 3x a week and cannot be more happy with the service that they provide! I know that Henry is safe and having fun when he’s at the dog park with Nick and his team. I could not recommend Off Lease Canine more, they are the best!“

“We love them SO MUCH. The folks here are so kind to our baby dog (and her humans). She loves daycare and boarding with them. We trust the BowWow team 100%!“

“They did great with our dog's first ever appt since getting adopted. We asked them to round out her nails since she accidentally scratched when she's excited and they did exactly what we requested. Would recommend and will return for her next tidy up!“

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Found Chicago! Our dog Sammy is severely anxious, and struggled with his confidence on walks, meeting strangers, and encountering other dogs. The fantastic team at Found truly guided Sammy with dedicated care, structure and LOTS of love - the daily updates brought us immense comfort and it was wonderful to watch his progress and growth. Found also specializes in training dog owners alongside their pets to ensure long-term success. We brought Sammy home feeling confident in our ability to maintain Sammy’s training because Justin, Julianna and Mariah (and countless others at Found!) prepared us and equipped us with the tools to succeed. This has been a transformational journey and we can’t wait to see Sammy continue to shine as the happy, confident boy he’s becoming!“

“I’m pretty thorough with where I take my dog and nearly every daycare in the area gave me some kind of red flag - either through recent reviews or visiting and just not feeling very comfortable leaving Jax for an extended period.

Dog. has been a very positive experience so far. I walk over a mile to get there each time and it’s always worth it for the security I feel when he’s there. It’s clean, professionally run, and the dog daycare cameras they offer are reassuring. Jax always leaves tired and the front desk folks are always friendly. Ever since my initial email reach out, they have been very thorough in answering my countless questions without making me feel annoying - which I appreciate.

My dog is my best friend and I don’t want to ever worry about where I leave him. And so far with Dog, I have no had any worries. I appreciate what they offer and how much they clearly care.“

“I love puppy habadashery!! The whole crew is very nice & makes me & my dog feel welcome! My dog is always happy to go to get groomed. They listen & are thorough. Clean inside. Great ambience“

“Love this store! After talking with the people in there, I’m a lifelong customer! They were so kind and welcoming. My kids and I left and all said how much we loved it in there.“

“Downtown Dogs Chicago has changed our and our dog’s life forever.
They are worth every penny and more !
Our bulldog was reactive to other dogs and had fear aggression.
We did private behavioral classes with A trainer at another facility and group ones which did not correct any of the issues.
He was kicked out of day care and we were sad and desperate.
A friend recommended Downtown Dogs and our lives turned for the better.
Henry went through the training and the dog we got back was A completely different animal.
2 years later we still go to group classes once in A while and have kept up with everything we were taught.
Thank you to all the trainers , Ari and Aliya“

“I recently took my dog, Steffy, to SBK Dog Club, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive.

The grooming itself was top-notch, Steffy came out looking clean, well-trimmed, and smelled great! I also appreciated the detailed report they gave me about her behavior and any issues they noticed during grooming.

I highly recommend SBK Dog Club to any pet owner looking for a reliable and caring grooming service. We will definitely be returning!“

“It took us a while to find a really great place for boarding our three pups. They can be very picky and particular! We found Zen about a year or so ago and have boarded with them several times since. Communication is always easy, I love getting photo updates on our babies, and they make drop off and pick up very easy. Most importantly, our pups seem to really like it there. Our youngest has become more social with dogs in general and it's very obvious how well taken care of they are when they are there. Highly recommend to anyone that is overprotective of their pups!“
