What people have asked about this business.
I have a 1.5 year old rescue for six months now. He is doing well in most ways. But any time we come across a puppy he becomes very aggressive and even attacks the pup if he gets a chance. How can I fix this?

Finding a reliable dog trainer in Lincoln Park was my top priority after bringing home a high-energy pup. I’m so impressed with the level of expertise from Jesse but how he is still able to "dumb it down" for me to actually understand and implement. He doesn't just train my dog; Jesse trains ME!
We’ve been working on leash reactivity and basic obedience right in the neighborhood, and the progress after just one week is incredible. I feel like I have a different dog!
Jesse pointed out my biggest issue was communicating clear boundaries, which now that I know that, it has made our walks near the lakefront so much more enjoyable. I never dreamed I would be able to have an off-leash dog safely able to play and come when called but now that we've begun training, I feel like I can get there by the end of my training program.
Canine Perspective is easily the best professional dog training Chicago has to offer. If you live in Lincoln Park or Lakeview and need a trainer who truly understands canine behavior, look no further!
Oh, and they offer daycare transportation for my pup which has been a game changer. Knowing once a week she can attend structured daycare that reinforces her training is amazing.

We had such an amazing experience with Canine Perspective. I brought my dog, Tiger, in for dog training because we were struggling with leash training — pulling, barking at other dogs — and walks had become stressful instead of enjoyable.
Tiger trained with Jesse, and he was great. He has a calm, confident approach and the training he gave both of us was a game changer.
Tiger is now so much better on leash, and we actually enjoy walking around the neighborhood together. We also learned commands like “place” and “stay,” which have been huge when people come over — Tiger used to get overly excited and jump on everyone, and now we can actually manage that.
We also use Canine Perspective for boarding and dog daycare and trust them completely. It’s such a relief knowing Tiger is in a place where he’s well cared for and genuinely loved.
Highly recommend Canine Perspective for dog training, boarding, and daycare. xoxo

I highly recommend Jesse, Elizabeth, Maria and the entire team at Canine Perspective. My 20-lb pug, Teddy, thought he was the king of the household and had some resource-guarding tendencies. As a new dog owner, I was worried those habits might turn into bigger behavioral issues over time.
After hearing first-hand reviews about Canine Perspective's training from friends and owners of very well-behaved dogs, I reached out for a consultation. After meeting Jesse, I purchased 6 one-on-one sessions. It was hands-down the BEST money I've spent on Teddy.
Teddy has benefitted tremendously from training with Jesse, which includes use of the e-collar. Now that I have the right tools and skills to work with Teddy, life is truly so much easier. Both he and I are so happy.
I also send him to board with Canine Perspective when I am out of town and send him to daycare regularly. I trust them whole-heartedly, and Teddy always comes home happy, tired and mentally-stimulated.
Thank you Jesse and Canine Perspective Team!

We started sending our dog Rummy to Canine Perspective as a puppy for daycare. We tried doing puppy training at another facility in Chicago, and the training never really stuck. We enrolled Rummy for Training at Canine Perspective, and after only a few sessions, he was a completely different dog. He doesn't pull on his leash, knows verbal commands, and most importantly is great around kids. We owe everything to Canine Perspective.

We adopted our dog from a shelter in 2021. She was great with people but needed some extra socialization with other dogs. Canine Perspective has been incredible for her! She gets so excited when the Transport van pulls up, and she's exhausted when she comes home after a day of structured activities. Can't recommend them enough!
