Chicago Canine Company

Dropped off our shepherd there for a month or so...it’s been a few years but I remember them saying he was trained with the collar. I showed up and he was very obedient at the center. When I took him home and he saw our kids running around outside he too wanted to play with them but since our neighbors kids were there and our dog was very big for his age he appeared intimidating to others. The collar would not be able to keep him from wanting to run away. I called them and took him back and also brought our kids. The trainer could not control him at all!! So he said he would keep him another week and yet again at home we were never able to control him. Another thing was when we picked him up the first time he had the worst diarrhea for a couple weeks...we think they mixed up his food bag. Anyway, I will never recommend anyone to this place. It was a big waste of money almost $1800 I believe. I didn’t post anything before because I thought it was my dog the entire time...but then I realized it was and that’s why he was there in the first place!

Chicago Canine Company, without a doubt, has the best dog training program in Chicagoland. I sought Prentice for some basic dog obedience and what immediately separated him from the numerous trainers I've dealt with previously is that he trains YOU how train your dog. I learned so much and progressed so quickly with Prentice that in only a few months I went from trouble with basic obedience to IPO competition training for two dogs. Prentice trains using classical and operant conditioning; his methods are so simple and effective, every dog and person I've seen step into Chicago Canine Company leaves with improved confidence and ability. Prentice is knowledgable, enthusiastic, and promotes a great training environment. I've never left a written review on anything but after spending time here, I'd recommend Chicago Canine Company to any and everyone looking for dog training.
