Canine Perspective: Structured Daycare, Boarding & Training

When my partner and I first heard about Canine Perspective, we had already gone through one failed training experience. We were hopeful, but also skeptical. Looking back now, choosing Canine Perspective was truly one of the best decisions we have ever made for Mylo. The change we have seen in him is incredible. Mylo is a happier, more confident dog, and because of everything we have learned through his training, we are able to do so much more with him and enjoy experiences together that we never thought would be possible. We understand him better, know how to communicate with him, and feel so much more confident handling situations that used to feel overwhelming. One of the biggest moments for us was recently taking Mylo to the vet. Before training, his vet visits had been extremely difficult and stressful for everyone involved, so going back was something we were very nervous about. This time, he did AMAZING. Seeing him handle a situation that had been so difficult for him in the past was such an emotional and rewarding moment for us. It really showed us just how far he has come and how much this training has changed his life. Most importantly, Mylo gets to experience more of life with us instead of being limited by his fears and reactivity. He is happier, and we are happier and more confident dog parents because of it. We are so incredibly proud of him. There truly are no words to express how grateful we are to Jesse and the entire Canine Perspective team. They didn’t just help train our dog—they taught us how to understand him, communicate with him, and give him a fuller and happier life. They have completely changed our lives with Mylo for the better, and we will forever be grateful for everything they have done for our little family. ❤️

I am the proud owner of a mommy addicted pit bull. Won't leave my side, that is until Jesse shows up to take him to boarding. He leaves with Jesse and doesn't look back. Does that bother me? A little but I realize he must really love being with Jesse and Elizabeth. He is a people loving dog but not so much a dog loving dog. Leaving him with Canine Perspective gives me such peace of mind. I know he will not get into trouble with other dogs. He is not excluded. He is given tread mill time with the other dogs while being in a controlled situation. He is well taken care of when he boards with Canine Perspective. My favorite thing to say is when he is boarding I can go away and not think about him - in other words no worrying. Yes, I still think of him but all good thoughts. Thank you, Canine Perspective Team for a job always well done.

We cannot say enough good things about Jesse and the entire Canine Perspective team. Both of our girls completed a week-long board and train program followed by six weeks of continued training, and the experience completely changed the way we understand and support our dogs. One of our dogs, Zuzu, struggles with territorial behavior over food and toys, intense leash reactivity, and aggression toward children and people/ dogs in general. We had tried everything to address her issues to no avail until we started working w/ Canine Perspective. I was especially nervous going into training because Zuzu is a French Bulldog with a history of IVDD, and her back legs do not function fully because of her condition. Jesse was incredibly thoughtful, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He communicated consistently during the board and train, never pushed Zuzu beyond her physical limits, and thoughtfully adjusted parts of the training to accommodate her mobility challenges. Over the course of the six-week program, we gained clarity, confidence, and practical tools that we had never had before. For the first time, we truly feel equipped to set Zuzu up for success and better understand her needs and behaviors. The training combined with ecollar is the ONLY way we’ve seen real results with Zuzu’s behavior and she has transformed before our eyes. Jesse genuinely cares about both the dogs and their owners, and it shows in every aspect of his work. We are beyond grateful for everything he and his team have done for our family, and we could not recommend Canine Perspective enough!!

We service a lot of facilities across Chicago, and this is hands down the most impressive dog daycare and training center we’ve worked in. The kennel is unbelievably clean, calm, and quiet, and you can immediately tell the dogs are structured, fulfilled, and exceptionally well cared for. Seeing dogs confidently working on the treadmills and engaging with trainers instead of nonstop barking chaos is honestly amazing. Truly a professional operation run by people who deeply understand canine behavior and dog training.
