What people have asked about this business.
Is it only dog training or cats also?? I’m getting a F1 Savanna that grows big as most dogs, so just curious.
I’m not sure if there’s any cat training. Never seen the a cat there.
Hi there...yesterday we called you on a german sherpard that was lost on Maplewood and Belle Plaine. His name was Bailey. I was just wondering if you found the owner yet? Thanks for coming to get him. We thought he got out from your facility.
Hey Liz, thanks for getting bailey to us. She’s a nice girl and is back with her family. She belongs to a gentlemen down on Rockwell and Berteau

Our dog, Daisy, did Adventure Dog Board & Training. We saw a HUGE change/decrease in her leash reactivity and overall obedience. We are no longer stressed when taking her out on walks/outings, she is much calmer!
The staff was great, shoutout to our lead trainer Juliana! They sent us updates everyday, along with instructional videos. During her stay, Daisy had some issues with her paw pads; we were informed asap and she got the extra care/attention, and vet visit, that she needed. We were never worried about her!
We would highly recommend this program to any dog parents struggling with training! You do meet with a trainer for an initial consult to discuss concerns, training goals, etc, and they recommend different programs from there. We are so glad we went with this program, can't thank them enough!

My puppy recently finished the 12-week Pup Start Plus program, and I couldn’t be happier. The trainers are patient and knowledgeable, my pup gained great socialization and training skills, and the option to board with a trainer has been a game changer.

We sent our 1.5 yr old anxious and under-socialized poodle to Found for the 3-week Adventure Dog program and cannot believe the results the team was able to produce in such a short amount of time. Our main goal was working on our dog’s confidence around other dogs and the city environment. Seeing the videos they send day over day of our dog in group playtime (overseen/managed by the trainers) and seeing her confidence grow was nothing short of amazing. The 1:1 training sessions periodically through her stay were great to understand the process, and learn what we can do better along side her. After the program, we brought home a confident, much more relaxed, responsive dog that is a joy to walk and do things with. Even just after a few days of having her home, it’s hard to believe we lived any other way for so long - the only negative I have is I wish we had done this sooner. Thank you Found (shout out to Ralph in particular) for all that you do!

The Puppy bootcamp was such a great fit for our dog. FOUND not only posted daily report cards and videos of her enjoying her time there, but also gave us videos to learn in order to continue our training. Especially loved our sessions with Anna! She was super helpful and informative. Looking forward to the next time we bring our pup to FOUND

I can’t say enough good things about Pup Start and Found Training…especially Jen Smith who is just fabulous. My puppy Frances has been through Puppy Imprinting (a life saver!) and Pup Start ( terrific!) with Jen. The whole team is wonderful with all the dogs and owners. The training experience was incredible and the ongoing support is so appreciated. I’ve utilized other very reputable training centers in Chicago and The Pup Start Program at Found is a standout. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I have a happy, well behaved and trained pup. Thank you Jen and team!
