ChicagoLand Dog Training

Nick and Lauren have been so impressive throughout the training experience(s) for both of my dogs. They go above and beyond to be consistently available to answer any and all questions-day or night. They are responsive in an unusually timely manner and have never made me feel judged or criticized (and I have made plenty of mistakes). They love my dogs as if they were their own-their commitment is genuine. They are deeply passionate and knowledgable about their profession-it clearly comes naturally to them-and they make an awesome team! Nick and Lauren obviously love what they do-I HIGHLY recommend you give them a try-you won't be disappointed!

Nick is incredible at what he does! I started with their puppy program and then did 14 day stay and train program. After two weeks he transformed my pup Gus into such a polite boy. I'm so glad to have made the investment in proper training as it has done wonders for our household. Nick and Lauren treated Gus like their own which made me know he was in such great care. Even now after finishing training they are always a phone call away with any questions I have. I cannot speak more highly of their program and how dedicated/passionate they are to training dogs.

If you are looking for a fantastic dog trainer, look no further! After doing extensive research, I decided to go with ChicagoLand Dog Training and I could not be happier with my decision. My dog Cleo, on the left in the picture, was very reactive towards other dogs on our walks and had horrible leash manners. I was desperate for help and was feeling hopeless that I would never get her under control. Within a few lessons, she was acting like a completely different dog on our walks. We got her to walk next to other dogs in a calm manner, something that never happened before training. Now that I am almost done with lessons, Cleo is one of the most well-behaved dogs in the neighborhood! Walks are ENJOYABLE which is such a life changing feeling, and we get compliments from so many people we pass. I can tell Nick and Lauren genuinely love this business, and go the extra mile to make sure you understand everything that your dog is learning and answer any questions. They were reliable, flexible with lessons, professional, and offered to answer any questions I had along the way via text message/phone call. I encourage everyone from now on to make this investment in their pups, and trust ChicagoLand Dog Training to do the work! I can't thank them enough. -Lexi & Cleo

Nick and Lauren are AMAZING! We are so happy we were able to work with them. They are extremely thorough and patient, and you can tell they love what they do. We sent our wild, crazy and full-of-energy Aussiedoodle puppy to their Stay and Train, and it truly was the best experience. They taught her how to properly walk on a leash, how to focus with distractions, and most importantly how to behave in the house— just to name a few! They equipped us with all of the resources we needed to continue her training at home. We can’t wait to see how she continues to progress! We all could not be happier! I highly recommend their training programs.

I only have wonderful things to say about ChicagoLand Dog Training and Nick and Lauren. They are seriously amazing people doing phenomenal work with dogs. We sent our rescue dog Eugene to them for the 2 week board & train to work through some bad behaviors. When he came back he was so much more manageable. He has manners now! Nick & Lauren's working with Eugene & teaching us seriously changed our lives. We already loved Eugene but we love him even more now that we can communicate with him and keep working on his skills! We were worried that sending Eugene to training would ruin his quirky personality - training didn't do that - it actually allows us to enjoy him more now that his issues are more controlled. Another great thing is that after the 2 week board & train, Nick & Lauren do four follow up sessions to see how your dog is progressing and teach the owners things as well! Also, Eugene finished his training about 5 months ago, but I know that if I have any questions or concerns at all I can always reach out to Nick and he will support us and offer advice. One thing that was evident through the entire process was how much Nick cares for dogs. I felt like he loved Eugene from the start and I had no hesitation about leaving Eugene in his care for 2 weeks. Seriously I cannot recommend Nick, Lauren, & ChicagoLand Dog Training enough!
