Anything Is Pawzible

We had an incredible experience with Jamie at Anything is Pawzible! We enrolled our two dogs in the Proxy Pawzibilities program and were so impressed by the results. Our older dog is a guardian breed and had a lot of reactivity when seeing other dogs outside or from our house. Our other dog is a puppy and we were hoping to set a good baseline for her. After the three weeks, we noticed significantly less reactivity with our older dog and so many new skills with our puppy! More importantly, our dogs absolutely adore Jamie and were so excited to be dropped off each day. We have since completed the transfer sessions included in the program and the dogs were thrilled to get to see her again. We can tell the dogs were so well taken care of and we wouldn't hesitate to leave them in Jamie's care again. If you're looking for a place where the training will be tailored to your dog and your dog will be truly understood, this is the place!

This review is long overdue so my apologies to the team at Anything Is Pawzible. We rescued a reactive toddler Great Dane in the fall and were immediately in over our heads. He had no manners and had never been trained before. The poor guy didn't understand the expectations of him! He lived outside in his previous home due to his mischievousness. We contacted Rendy right away after searching for the best R+ trainers in Chicago. She came out for a private consult in our home to meet Scooter and do an initial evaluation. She gave us homework to do until we got into a Basic Pawzibilities class. Basic class with Lin Barrett changed Scooter's life and ours for the better. Despite being reactive to other dogs (he just wants to play all the time!) they set us up for success with barriers and challenges to work on reactivity off the bat. The class was comprehensive, very fairly priced, and gave us so many resources! Lin is a phenomenal trainer who can instantly read a situation with a dog and make suggestions that actually work. We went back for more- Lin ran Scooter's Proxy Pawzibilities class, which is basically a 3 week boot camp with twice weekly sessions, which we asked them to specifically work on dog neutrality and reactivity on leash. Lin and Scooter bonded and they are part of the family now! Over the 3 week course with weekly transfer sessions in studio, Lin has progressively helped to teach Scooter that the world exists around him and that he can exist in it in a calmer state, and more importantly taught us as dads the best ways to communicate with him and advance his training. I am a far better dog owner because of Anything is Pawzible. In sum: Super clean, nice facility to train in. Excellent trainers who truly love and understand dogs. A bonus for having rescue prices for classes If you're wondering where to start on your dog's training journey, call Rendy and her team!

We recently completed the basic training course with Claire H. and it was amazing! Our 15-month-old doodle learned so many skills and had such a fun time doing it. The classes were well-organized and had a maximum of 5 dogs per class. Our pup was executing commands beautifully by the final few classes. I would recommend this spot to anyone, and would specifically recommend the trainer, Claire H. She is a great teacher and is willing to problem-solve to help each dog with their unique needs. Overall, such an awesome experience!
