I have a 4yo Pitbull/Boxer mix. His name is Oreo. I sought Raza’s services to help address aggression and reactivity. Raza recommended the 4-8 week board/train program. I have to admit I was not excited to be away from my dog for that length of time. However, Oreo returned a couple days ago a brand new dog. I can tell Raza and his team took time getting to know Oreo and building a trusting relationship with him during the training process. He is so well mannered, I question if he’s the same dog. Walks are no longer a headache. Reactivity to dogs/people has been addressed. The facility is great. It’s clean, organized, and lots of land. Raza was great with communication during the process and patient with me while I learned the commands. Would definitely recommend.

Business response

Thank you for trusting us with Oreo and for being open to the board and train process. We know it is never easy being away from your dog, but we are so glad you gave us the chance to work with him and help him through his reactivity. Oreo made huge progress and it was clear he wanted to learn and be understood. We focused on building a strong relationship with him first, and the results speak for themselves calmer walks, better manners, and more confidence all around. We also appreciate your feedback about the facility and communication. It is important to us that owners feel supported just as much as the dogs do. Thank you again for the recommendation and for being part of the journey.

We tried multiple trainers, medication, and behavioralists for our dog. We needed someone who wouldn’t give up on her, believed in her as fiercely as we do, and could see her loving spirit and great potential: Raza has been that person. He “gets” our dog, she loves learning with him and his team, and we have built a strong relationship to become better handlers ourselves. Anyone who has a reactive or high drive dog knows how exhausting and frustrating it can be, but Raza has been there every step of the way to continue working with us and our dog. We participated in his board-and-train program and it has been well worth the investment. We have continued training with Raza at his facility and our home and he has since boarded our dog when we travel, where he continues to build up her skills. It’s been a pleasure working with him and his team and hope to continue a years-long relationship with The Canine Club!

Business response

Thank you so much for this heartfelt review. It means the world to us that you trusted The Canine Club after trying other trainers, medications, and behaviorists. Helping high drive and reactive dogs reach their full potential is exactly why we do what we do. It is never about giving up, it is about believing in the dog and giving them the structure, confidence, and guidance they need to thrive. We are proud of how far your dog has come and just as proud of the work you have put in as a handler. Progress like this takes teamwork and consistency, and we are honored to be part of your journey. We will always be here to support your dog through training, boarding, and beyond. Thank you again for choosing us and for being such dedicated owners. We look forward to many more milestones together.

5/5

I decided to hire Raza whose the owner of The Canine Club to help me with training my dog and hired him for private lessons and after just 3-4 lessons i saw a huge improvement but after 10 lessons my dog was completely changed and I didn’t know what else to work his obedience was perfect! Raza knows what he’s doing and was able to show me how to connect with and take my dog to the next level.

Business response

Thank you so much for your review. We are thrilled to hear how much progress your dog made during the private lessons. Seeing that kind of transformation in just a few sessions is a true reflection of your commitment and consistency as an owner. At The Canine Club, our goal is not just to train dogs but to help owners build a deeper connection with their dog through clear communication and structure. We are glad we could guide you through that process and help bring out the best in your dog. It was a pleasure working with both of you and we are always here for anything you may need in the future, whether it is advanced training, boarding, or just keeping the skills sharp.

From the moment I reached out, I felt like my dog was in the hands of true professionals who genuinely care. The facility is top notch clean, safe, and designed for both training and comfort. I enrolled my dog in their board and train program, and the transformation was unbelievable. Before, walks were a nightmare, and now he heels perfectly, listens off leash, and is so much more confident. What impressed me most was how customized the training was to fit my lifestyle. The trainers kept me updated with videos and progress reports, and when it was time for the go-home session, they took the time to make sure I was trained too. This isn’t some cookie cutter dog training place. It’s a serious, high level program run by passionate experts. If you’re looking for dog training in Chicago or surrounding areas, this is hands down the place to go. Worth every penny. I’ll never take my dogs anywhere else

Business response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this incredible feedback. We are proud to offer a board and train program that not only transforms dogs but also empowers owners to maintain that success long after training ends. Hearing that your dog now heels perfectly, listens off leash, and walks with confidence is exactly the kind of result we strive for. Our team is passionate about creating customized training plans that fit each dog's needs and each owner's lifestyle. We are glad you felt supported throughout the process and that the updates and go home session helped make the transition smooth. Your kind words about our facility and team mean a lot to us. We take pride in providing a clean, safe, and professional environment where dogs can learn, grow, and thrive. Thank you again for trusting The Canine Club. We are honored to be your go to spot for dog training in the Chicago area and look forward to working with you for years to come.
