Mannered Mutts Dog Training

Thank you, Kevin!!! I adopted Pumpkin from a shelter when she was about a year old. She was an amazing puppy that came with all the standard puppy naughtiness. I did a pretty good job getting her on track but there were a few issues that didn’t get better and seemed to be getting worse. One being her jumping on me and anybody that would come over. I would let her off leash and for the most part she did great but I had a terrible scare when she decided to take off across the park and then had to chase her down to get her back. It was terrifying. The most serious issue was her reacting to other dogs. There were certain dogs that she wasn’t able to walk past without barking, lunging, and loosing her mind. It was like I didn’t exist in those situations and no command would get her to calm down. I ended up having to cross the street anytime I saw a dog coming just in case. I finally sought out help and found Kevin. He came over and very knowledgeably explained his approach to training and worked with Pumpkin. It all made so much sense and I felt more confident that I would be able to help Pumpkin through all these issues. Light! Kevin was great with teaching me how to manage my dog all the time so I had support even after the lessons. I was amazed at how quickly Pumpkin took to the training. Her jumping was easily kept in check. She learned the command ‘quiet’ so I didn’t have to draw the blinds in my front room (Hurray!). Kevin gave me a very specific game plan when we encounter another dog and Pumpkin is getting better and better everyday. Walks are fun again!!! It’s awesome! Kevin showed me the steps to take to be able to trust Pumpkin off-leash. I would definitely recommend Mannered Mutts to anyone looking for obedience training in Chicago!
