FirstBarkI cannot say enough wonderful things about Lauren and Nick. The transformation in our pup was immediate. They are highly communicative, extremely responsive to texts, and provided thorough answers to all our questions. An absolute 10/10 experience!

Teaching a dog potty manners is not for the faint of heart. It can be frustrating, overwhelming, and messy to take on potty training your puppy (or your older dog). Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. We offer Potty Training services that give your dog the consistency and praise he needs to succeed.

How training happens
- Board and train
Program details
By far our most popular training program, our Board and Train service gives us the opportunity to work directly with your dog for 12 days. During our time together, we give your dog the obedience skills (like leash manners and commands like Sit, Stay, Down, and Place) and practice he needs to be successful. We also take walks, play fetch, and rest. Your dog spends the days and nights with our Trainer, no cold or lonely kennels involved. You get lots of photo and text updates throughout your time apart, and when you return to pick up your best friend, you learn how to keep up the progress at home.
- Day training
Program details
Private 1 hr lessons with owner and dog scheduled once a week. Our private day training program is 10 lessons where they will learn the basic obedience commands. These commands will also be taught to you to continue training and enforce consistency in between the scheduled lessons.

Can't recommend them enough. EXCELLENT!
The best training facility around. Nick and Lauren know their stuff. I have a five month old Cane Corso puppy. in the 14 days that she stayed and trained with them, she went from being a wild, crazy puppy, jumping and biting to a calm, well-behaved and mannered puppy. Highly recommend this place to everyone who needs a dog trained. They really did a great job. It was well worth the money
We brought our rescue from a hoarder situation to Nick and Lauren and they were amazing! They were professionals and knowledgeable in what they do and equally patient and caring in working with a traumatized dog (and his new family)! We would completely recommend them!
The team at Chicagoland Dog Training did a truly phenomenal job with our 1 year old Bernedoodle. In two weeks she was transformed into an attentive, calm, well behaved dog who had mastered over 15 commands. I would highly recommend this team to anyone who needs help with dog training for basic or advanced obedience. Great communication, follow up, and ongoing support. Worth every penny!
