Co-Author of Several Dog Training Books, Marc Goldberg Provides Online/Digital Dog Training to Anyone Around the World

When you bring a dog into the family, you’re bringing a companion for you and everyone in your home. But like any new household member, they sometimes need help learning how to fit in – to learn how the household operates, and what it takes to be a good participant in the family. 

Chicago Dog Trainer is the dog training center run by Marc Goldberg, co-author of The Art of Training Your Dog, Let Dogs Be Dogs, and The Joy of Playing with Your Dog. He also operates the Little Dog Farm, a place where those in the Chicago area can receive personalized dog training from he and his team directly.

Marc is also thrilled to be able to offer remote dog training for those outside of Chicago. You and Marc can use online dog training to learn the tool and skills you need to teach your dog to address its behavioral struggles. If you’d like to learn more about remote dog training, or get started, text or call 224-407-2131 or use our online form to get connected directly with Marc.

Our Philosophy & Goals

Our philosophy is simple. Improve the life of both dog and family. All too often, unruly dogs do not fully enjoy life because their families constantly become upset and frustrated with them. This is difficult for both family and dog.
 
Our mission is simple. Make both dog and family happy.
 
What does is take to make your dog happy? He will thrive when you give him leadership and attention.


 
Making the family happy is a bit more complex.

Families typically want their dog to:

  • Come when called, every time, on or off leash
  • Walk nicely on a loose leash without pulling
  • Sit until released
  • Down until released

Families also want their dogs:

  • Not to jump on people
  • Not to charge through doors
  • Not to dig in the garden
  • Not to bark and chew  inappropriately
  • Not to climb on furniture you prefer they avoid
  • Not to sniff and eat off the table and counters.
  • Not to be wild and uncontrollable
  • Not to ignore you when you want their attention
