Program details
Teaching a dog potty manners is not for the faint of heart. It can be frustrating, overwhelming, and messy to take on potty training your puppy (or your older dog). Fortunately, you don’t have to do it alone. We offer Potty Training services that give your dog the consistency and praise he needs to succeed.

- Board and train
Program details
By far our most popular training program, our Board and Train service gives us the opportunity to work directly with your dog for 12 days. During our time together, we give your dog the obedience skills (like leash manners and commands like Sit, Stay, Down, and Place) and practice he needs to be successful. We also take walks, play fetch, and rest. Your dog spends the days and nights with our Trainer, no cold or lonely kennels involved. You get lots of photo and text updates throughout your time apart, and when you return to pick up your best friend, you learn how to keep up the progress at home.
- Day training
Program details
Private 1 hr lessons with owner and dog scheduled once a week. Our private day training program is 10 lessons where they will learn the basic obedience commands. These commands will also be taught to you to continue training and enforce consistency in between the scheduled lessons.

I hit the jackpot with my rescue dog Kiki, AND with Chicagoland dog training! Nick & Lauren made me and my dog feel comfortable and showed so much caring and love. She finished training and it was a wonderful experience. They are always available to answer any questions and are so committed to your pet. I couldn't recommend any higher! Thanks to all of you!!
Nick, Lauren, and their team are AMAZING!!! Our girl, Saja, absolutely LOVED going to her weekly private lessons. She learned so much! We learned so much! We already have her lined up for boarding because we know she will 100% be in good hands…and she will love seeing Nick, Lauren, and crew♥️

When we received a recommendation from a friend to take our new chocolate lab puppy, Bear, to Chicagoland for training, we didn't even bother researching other places because their dog is so well behaved. I am SO glad we didn't because I couldn't have asked for a better place to send our pup for training as the outcome is ASTOUNDING. Chicagoland, and especially Sarah and Lauren, are amazing people and trainers. They were so welcoming to Bear, shared updates as we requested them and most importantly, implemented effective and SIMPLE commands and training that are so easy to follow and work on at home. I also love the fact that they only board dogs they have trained! It makes me so comfortable and confident sending him back in the future. So genius. I am so appreciative and thankful for their work... Bear is so well behaved AND a fabulous walker after his 2-week training. HIGHLY Recommend Chicagoland Dog Training!!!
There is not enough room to speak about how awesome the owners are, Nick and Lauren. They are truly legit. From start to finish the communication and the enthusiasm they bring is exponential.

There is not enough room to speak about how awesome the owners are, Nick and Lauren. They are truly legit. From start to finish the communication and the enthusiasm they bring is exponential. They took my dog so didn't have a solid good manner and in 2 weeks have me back a dog that my 5yo granddaughter could walk on her own using their thorough training method. UNBELIEVABLE! Thank you, Nick and Lauren!
