What is Our Dog Boarding and Training Program?

Dog training can take a lot of work, and not everyone has the time. We offer a fantastic option for those that would like us to start the training for them - a "Dog Boarding School." Our dog boarding school is perfect for those that either do not have the time to start training their puppy on their own or those that were already going away and in need of dog boarding - and would like us to train their dog while they're on a trip.

Perfect for anyone near the Chicago area, our dog boarding school programs are designed with your pet in mind, with each one at different lengths depending on the behaviors we're working on. Choices include:

Amazing Dog 7 Day Boarding School:

For cooperative dogs or when economy is needed. A great start on better leash manners and house rules. Includes follow up lessons for amazing final results.

Dream Dog 14 Day Boarding School:

For excited dogs when complete training is desired. Your dog learns leash manners, polite greeting, come when called, no… jumping, digging, excessive barking, counter surfing and all the house rules you need to enjoy life with a dog.

Multiple training sessions and walks every day of the week. Send dogs away for training, train yourself on the last day, and see the difference in your pet's behavior.

We supply everything. You just bring your dog’s food

Celebrity Rehab 21 Day Boarding School:

For more complicated situations when most complete Same as above but with lots of extra time to help the new training behaviors become habits. This is also the perfect program if you’re traveling or if your dog has a good deal of anxiety to overcome.

Each of these programs is perfect for when you have problem behaviors you'd really like in-depth help with, or when you're already looking for a pet hotel or dog boarding service and would like your dog to receive expert training from Marc Goldberg and his team, author of "Let Dogs be Dogs" and creator of the ForceFree method. Pricing is based on length and availability. Pick up a well-trained dog and receive training yourself from 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
