Questions & answers
From Google
What people have asked about this business.
How long does intensive coaching usually take in Chicago, FL?
Most dogs start showing noticeable improvements within a few sessions. The length of the program depends on your dog’s age, temperament, and specific training goals.
Community answer · Prestige Dog Training · 2025-12-21
Can you help a dog that shuts down one day and explodes the next?
Yes. Reactive behavior isn’t always loud; sometimes it’s fear in disguise. We’re trained to read both ends of the spectrum and adjust sessions so your dog feels safe enough to learn.
Community answer · Prestige Dog Training · 2025-12-21
What age of dog is suitable for a board & train at Prestige Dog Training Chicago?
We work with dogs starting from about 6 months and up. Puppies younger than that may benefit more from short-term classes and owner-led training before full immersion.
Community answer · Prestige Dog Training · 2025-11-21
Will the Chicago Dog Trainers come to my home, or do we need to bring my dog to your facility?
We offer both options. In-home sessions are available for convenience, while training at our Chicago facility provides structured environments for advanced behavior work.
Community answer · Prestige Dog Training · 2025-11-21
Can you help with reactive or fearful dogs in Chicago?
Absolutely. Our Dog Training Chicago specialists work with anxious and reactive dogs daily — helping them become calm, confident, and responsive, even in busy city settings.
Community answer · Prestige Dog Training · 2025-11-21
What results can I expect after completing a Chicago board and train program?
Most owners see lasting improvements in leash manners, recall, impulse control, and social behavior. With continued practice at home, these results can last a lifetime.
Community answer · Prestige Dog Training · 2025-11-21
I’ve tried group classes before. Why should I switch to private dog training in Chicago?
Group classes are great for some dogs, but they don’t work for every personality. Private sessions let us focus 100% on your dog’s behavior, in your home, where the real issues happen. You’ll see progress faster and get personalized guidance you can actually use.
Community answer · Prestige Dog Training · 2025-10-21
Do I need to attend every training session with my dog?
For best results, yes. Your involvement reinforces what your dog learns and builds a stronger bond. However, for board & train programs, we handle most of the work, then guide you on maintaining results at home.
Community answer · Prestige Dog Training · 2025-10-21
Are there any benefits to choosing local trainers in Chicago?
Absolutely. Local trainers understand the city’s environment—like crowded sidewalks, busy parks, and apartment living—and tailor their approach accordingly.
Community answer · Prestige Dog Training · 2025-10-21
What kind of daily schedule will my dog follow during training?
Your dog’s day includes structured training sessions, exercise, socialization, downtime, and routine care — all designed to build discipline and confidence.

I found Ulysses back when he was working in Kansas City when I was looking for training for my Black Lab Brinley. Ulysses helped me overcome his leash reactivity after being attacked by an off leash dog that really set us back. He helped us overcome my dogs fear and resentment towards other dogs and helped instill a solid obedience foundation that built the best dog I could’ve ever asked for.
After recently moving to the Chicago area with my girlfriend, we were having major issues with our dogs co-existing. We were crating and rotating constantly and felt like we had lost our lives. I was lucky to find that Ulysses had opened Prestige Dog Training and I knew I had to call. From the initial assessment where Ulysses remembered me and my dog through the end of both my girlfriend and I’s dog’s board and train program, I have been nothing short of impressed. Ulysses helped us get our lives back and I am beyond thankful for his expertise as we no longer have to walk on eggshells with our dogs coexisting together.
Ulysses is truly knowledgeable and compassionate towards his clients and provided clear and consistent updates during our time away from our dogs. From the bottom of our heart, we are so eternally grateful for Ulysses and Prestige Dog Training 🙏

Prestige has transformed our newly rescued dog into a much calmer, happier, and well-behaved member of our family. It has been a positive experience for us. They are great to deal with, and the training works. Highly recommended.

Ulysses and his team at Prestige Dog Training have been terrific with our rescue dog Charlie. After a three week crate and train, we saw significant improvement with Charlie’s reactivity and overall obedience, and Ulysses provided us with the tools we needed to continue to reinforce good habits. We are impressed with Ulysses’ approach to training—he is very professional, knowledgeable, and he is one of the only people we trust to watch Charlie when we travel. We could not recommend Ulysses enough!

Just finished private lessons with Ulysses for my dog and honestly it was a game changer. We were working on advanced obedience and I didn’t think my dog would ever get to this level but Ulysses broke everything down in a way that actually made sense. Super patient, really knows his stuff. My dog listens so much better now, even with distractions. If you’re thinking about training—he’s the guy.

If you’re on the fence about whether a board and train program is worth it—especially for a reactive dog—let me save you the time: Ulysses is the real deal. My dog came to him with serious reactivity issues, triggered by other dogs, strangers, and even noises. Walks were stressful, and I honestly started to feel like I was in over my head.
Enter Ulysses.
From the first conversation, it was clear he understood dogs on a different level. He didn’t just train my dog—he studied him. He tailored the program specifically to his triggers and temperament, and over the course of the board and train, I watched my dog transform.
When I picked him up, I couldn’t believe the difference: he was calm, focused, and most importantly, happier. Ulysses didn’t just suppress the behaviors—he gave my dog new tools, new confidence, and gave me the knowledge to maintain that progress. The follow-up support was next level too. He made sure I felt confident continuing the work at home, and he was there to guide me every step of the way.
If you have a reactive dog and feel like you’ve tried everything, trust me: give Ulysses a call. He’s not just a dog trainer—he’s a game-changer.
