Pet Boarding Training near Elmwood Park

“Dr Park and his staff are excellent. I've been taking all my pets to Dr Park for the last 15yrs.“

“Wenz is absolutely amazing! We are so thankful we did the behavioral modification training for our Golden Retriever pup that was going through her teenage phase. I highly recommend working with Wenz, who has a great understanding of how to train dogs at all ages with a loving, caring and gentle attitude. She has a lot of great tricks for barking and leash pulling. She helped us come up with alternatives whenever our pup was being stubborn or biting the leash in public places. As the dog parents, we also learned so much and we developed a stronger relationship with our pup. The best part was learning how to properly leash walk our puppy as well as how she should greet visitors. It’s so easy to walk our pup now around the neighborhood and she’s a lot calmer when we have friends over. We would definitely do it all over again.“

“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.“

“We sent our dog Rocky to Western Wag for a little over two years, before moving out of the city. Our dog loved going there and would get excited at dropoff! We miss being a part of the community so much. Rocky would come home exhausted and we could tell from the pictures on instagram that he had a great day. Would recommend it to anyone who is lucky enough to send their dog there.“

“I have to say this place has been the best find in the city for my Cane Corso. She is a big girl and because of her breed/size I stay away from dog parks as people get nervous with smaller dogs. Sean (owner) had no hesitation taking her on and is so flexible with pick up/drop off times. I utilize this space as exercise for her to stay in shape as well as socialize with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Prices are very affordable and their responsiveness is top notch. Might sound silly but I live for their photo updates. They take professional photos outside throughout the day and post them on instagram during your pups stay or send them to you directly if you request. Nothing like seeing your dogs having the time of their lives.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My experience with Dogtopia has been amazing and I really couldn’t ask for a better doggy daycare/hotel for my energetic, 2yr old Salem?

I was incredibly impressed on her first day,
throughout the assessment the team conducted to ensure she’d be a good fit, they included her interaction when being introduced to the pack and how she behaved when was sectioned off from play. The team even has motivational Monday (a little treat,which she loved!) It really gave me the confidence I didn’t realize I needed to trust the wonderful people who run the show.

The pictures/videos on their instagram is an added bonus. My pup literally jumps in excitement when we arrive and she’s always nice and tired by the time we pick her up. I highly recommend Dogtopia?“

“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!“

“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!“

“They took amazing care of my beloved (foster) dog Rex. He can be a handful and they were not only capable and trustworthy, but flexible and kind with everything we needed. They went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of and helped to keep Rex on his training course so he can get adopted! Can’t recommend them enough. Pic of Rex for cuteness cred.“

“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!“

“As a fairly new dog trainer, I highly recommend using Laura. Not only is she a talented non-human animal trainer, the way she teaches was transformative for me as a student. The compassionate nature she extends and encourages to the animals she teaches, she also extends to the people she is teaching. It makes training FUN and a rewarding experience.“

“I had a hard time finding the right hotel for my 15-month-old American bully, I didn't feel I can trust anyone with my dog, he was never left with anyone before, he is full of energy and he's not neutered. After Contacting Magdalena we set up Playdates so she can meet my baby doggie. She fell in love with my Dragon! After leaving Dragon I cannot explain how happy, peaceful and comfortable I was leaving my Dragon with Dzika dog academy I was receiving daily updates and pictures, which made me feel comfortable! Magdalena is awesome guys! She is full off energy, she loves animals and she is the only one who I trust with my dog now!!! If I could give her million stars I would, trust me she deserved!!!!“

“Pat is an excellent dog trainer. It has been years since I had a dog and last Christmas We gave our 10 year old son a German Shepard Puppy — Rosie. We love our Rosie but she is a high drive dog and can be very difficult. I had no idea how to handle this awesome dog. Pat was able to show me, my son, and my Wife how to walk in heel without Rosie pulling us all over place. Shepards never give-up!! Also he showed us how to have a well behaved dog in the house and car. How to make her sit still and down stay and all kinds of little tricks or hacks to get our dog to listen. He is never pressed for time and is very patient dealing with us. He is worth every dollar. I had complements from our vet and other people how well behaved our dog is. Don’t hesitate to use Pat. He is a good trustworthy man.“

“Thank you so much for transforming our puppy into a sweet, loving and obedient friend. We couldn't find anybody better for this job. I'll always recommend your services. Thank you“

“Adam was referred to me by a friend. Right off the bat, after our initial meet and greet, we thought our dog was gonna be in good hands. Little did we know how much good Adam would be for our guy! Phife Dog loves him so much, is responsive and happy every time. Adam works on little things too, we just want the best for guy! Like sit, wait. Don't pull. But he gets a workout too! Always knocks out after his walk. #satisfiedcustomer Was able to use him for overnight stay too. Hands down respectful, communicative, piece of mind.“

“I moved to the area 4 years ago and went to several vets in the area until I found Mt. Plaines. I’ve been taking my cat here for 2 years now and they are awesome. The staff is friendly, responsive and courteous and Dr. Ruffolo is attentive, caring and very knowledgeable. My search is over.“

“Dr.Gill is awesome. He is an expert in his field. He has given care to my pets.He is able to give you a full diagnosis and the options available for my pets.Today He neutered my cat Melvin and handled Melvin very well. He runs a real animal hospital. If you want a no frills just great care this is the place to bring your pets. A true vetinarian,very skilled and knowledgeable. His staff, Ms. Karen and a newcomer Nurse are both very nice and also great animal handlers. Able to do as much as possible to help and assist Dr.Gill and pet owners. Thank you all at Broadview Animal hospital.“

“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%!“

“House of Paws is amazing. My rescue pup has severe separation anxiety so he needs to go to daycare a few days a week when I need to be in the office. I’m extremely particular about who I leave him with, so finding House of Paws has been a life changer. Liz and Josh are great people who truly care about your pet. When my pup first started going to daycare, he was very nervous and had to be coaxed inside, but now he runs and pulls me towards their front door with excitement. Truly a game changer.“

“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!“

“My dog loves this place and the staff. Every time we pull into the parking lot and he hears the other dogs barking, my little 12 pound buddy becomes a sled dog and pulls me to the front door in anticipation of playing with the other dogs.“

“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.“

“Dr. Caplan is a dog whisper. CoCo looks great. Reasonable prices as well. Super friendly staff.“

“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!“
