Chicago Canine Company

I am so glad I found Chicago Canine Company!! Prentice Kidd really helped us with our two big puppies. One is a pitbull mix name Lani who was 7 months old when we started with Prentice and one is a Great Pyrenees mix name Finn who was 5 months old. Both big strong dogs. My husband is very busy most of the week so I am the one who has to do a lot of the handling. But I am small so walking the two dogs is incredibly exhausting and difficult. They pull me everywhere and since they’re not even a year old they also have crazy puppy energy. I actually had to start walking them one at a time because it just got so unmanageable together and doing so took a huge chunk of time out of my day. At home, they demanded my attention constantly. If I’m on a phone call or doing work on my laptop or cooking, or anything where I’m occupied for more than 10-15 minutes Lani would start looking for things to drag around in front of me so I’d pay attention to her or they’d chew at our baseboards or Finn would tear up their beds and toys. I’ve taken Lani to an other training facility before going to Prentice and it honestly felt like a waste of time and money. Almost everything they taught in class Lani was already able to do, Like sit, down, basic commands etc. But I learned nothing about actual obedience training. Any time I asked the trainer something a little bit more specific than just the basic concepts she regurgitated to everyone, she wouldn’t be able to give me an answer that was actually helpful. It was a month of time and money wasted! I was no where near being able to handle the dogs comfortably. I asked Prentice to help me get my dogs to heel on either side of me and not pull me everywhere on walks. Within two weeks we were already seeing HUGE changes in our dogs. The first day of training my dogs dragged me into the training room and I had no control over them, especially when they saw the other dogs. But after two weeks, I could already walk in the room with the dogs next to me or behind me without dragging me in. At home things started to get better too. I can put my dogs in down, stay while I did chores or work and they actually patiently waited until I came back to release them!!! They also stopped chewing on our baseboards and stopped dragging our stuff around to get attention. Now it’s been two and a half months and our dogs are completely transformed!!! They are so attentive and obedient. I took them to a dinner party at my in-laws a week ago and I put them in down and stay right next to me by the dinner table and they stayed quietly by my side the whole time!!! Didn’t try to get at the food on the table or bother any of the guests. Everyone was so amazed! Even I was impressed!!! I’m also able to take them out for walks together now and they doing pull and go crazy with every person and every squirrel anymore. I’m so glad Prentice taught me how to communicate with my dogs. I also noticed that my dogs are happier and less anxious because they now can understand what I expect from them. It takes time and patience but it really feels AMAZING to be able to be so in sync with my dogs and be able to handle them comfortably no matter the situation!!! Thank you Prentice!!!! ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR DOGS AND HAVE A HAPPY HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR DOGS SHOULD GO TO CHICAGO CANINE COMPANY AND LEARN PRENTICE’S WAY!! #Prenticesway :)

I brought my dog to Chicago Canine Company in Chicago on October 21 2019 When my dog met Prentice Kidd she growled, snarled, lunged, and everything that a fear aggressive dog would do. Prentice said, " I can fix her", and he was right. Prentice Kidd is poetry in motion. He is like Walter Payton was to football or Michael Jordan was to basketball. He is accommodating to my schedual. He is honest in his assessment of my animal as we progress. He is absolutely wonderful with training and breaking dogs out of severe behavior issues. Prentice Kidd is outstanding. I am excited to move forward with my dog and this trainer. Thank you for helping my dog be the best she can be and for me in being the best I can be for my dog.
