About Downtown Dogs Chicago

Our dog training system sets up a communication system with your dog through markers. The learning phase is all through positive reinforcement. As the dog becomes fluent in the communication skills, the dog trainer introduces other quadrants of learning for the dog to be able to work through distraction and learn to control his/her impulses. The product is a happy, eager, attentive and obedient dog!

Downtown Dogs was the best experience we could have asked for! We got our 2 year old pit from a rescue in November and instantly knew we needed some support with her. She was overstimulated on walks, making it almost impossible to walk her. She was also a velcro dog with confinement issues. We sent her to the 3 week board and train and she came back an entirely different dog but with the same personality! Ari and Aliya were helpful before, during and after the process. Any troubleshooting that I need, they call me back right away. Unlike other board and trains, they continue supporting you after your dog leaves and that has made a huge difference. We continue group classes almost weekly and love the community there. Thanks to the entire staff!

Definitely recommend. Three week board and train made a huge difference in confidence, obedience and some of the anxiety. The consultations and everything after are also a plus. Even the Boarding after training is reasonably priced.

Can't explain how much this place changed our lives in regards to our 1.5 year old pitbull. We live in a high rise with many other dogs and our rescue pitbull is very dog aggressive. After three weeks of training, the first day having her home was night and day taking her out for her walks. We were constantly pulling her across the street to avoid other dogs and now we are able to walk right past them with a heel command or have sit calmly while the other dog passes. Definitely recommend this place if you have a dog that has any aggression.

Ari, Connor and Aliya did an amazing job with our dog Rocco! The board and training program was worth every penny! Thank-you!

We did the three week board and train and Cline returned a completely different dog. He is heeling properly and no longer leash reactive towards other dogs; moreover, we now feel like we have the tools we need to help correct other behaviors around the house (chewing on furniture, etc.) and better understand how to work with him. We had worked with several trainers in the past and had made very little progress (Cline can be very stubborn and hard to work with), but Logan and the team did an amazing job. They even kept him several extra days at no additional charge since he hadn't been making progress as quickly as they expected. It was also great to see that Cline was very excited to return to Downtown dogs (his tail started wagging as soon as we walked up) the following week for our follow-up lesson. He seemed to really like Logan. We have nothing but good things to say and highly recommend the board and train program, easily the best money we've ever spent.
