Wolfkeeper University is an Extraordinary Training Facility! This is the no.1 Dog Training Company in Chicago. The master dog trainer Toriano Sanzone was friendly and professional. Toriano is natural with dogs - all dogs love him as he loved all dogs - which makes him the perfect trainer. He trained my dog Tzuyu. I highly recommend Toriano for any kind of dog training!

BUYER BEWARE Toriano Sanzone took all my dogs for a board and train program. We arrived home from Florida the 10th, to find the Toriano “lost” Princeton, at about 3pm. He said he had taken him out to a “park” to do some leash training when Princeton saw another unleashed dog, and Princeton took off after the dog and his training collar broke, Toriano was unable to catch my dog. He said he was handling everything and him and his team were out looking for him, to stay home and not tell the kids, as he knew he would show up.He told me he was hanging flyers (which I provided the template for), talking to people around the neighborhood Sunday and Monday, in addition to checking the shelter. I was doing leg work from home, listing him lost with all the local agencies, and getting his picture out on all the lost dog sites. I realized Monday that things didn’t quite add up with the location. I assumed Saturday night my dog got loose around the Wolfkeeper University facility which is on Taylor and Loomis. When I asked him exactly where my dog was lost he said Central Park and Ogden, which is a 15 minute drive from the facility, wondering why my dog would be doing a walk and/or training that far away. August 13th I found out, when my oldest son and I went out there to hang flyers, and visit shelters that there were NO flyers anywhere between the facility address and Central Park and Ogden. He had lied to me about hanging them. Not 1 flyer! At this point I lost it, and called him and told him I was getting my dogs immediately! I waited at the facility for him for 40 minutes, when he called to tell me my dogs were ready and he didn’t see me. I said I am at the facility, that is when I found out my dogs were at his HOME, which is right around the corner from where he supposedly lost Princeton. He never told me my dogs were not at the facility, and I never would’ve okayed them being at his home, and I am sure his home is not licensed for boarding or training! I really laid into him when I got there, I told him he’d been lying to me all this time, and that I don’t even know what the hell he’s done with my dog. But he better find him or he would be sorry because I would flip his life upside down for my dog (which I am doing). The whole time looking at me with this stupid blank expression, and no more smooth talking. On our way home I noticed my dogs were not acting normal and that my little guys bones were poking out, now I’m devastated, clearly knowing I gave may dogs to a whack job who neglected them I drove hysterically to the vet to get them checked out. My Bulldog was yellow, like she had been sitting in pee, she had a low fever, diarrhea and had lost 9 pounds, my little mixed dog looked starved went from 12 to 11 pounds, both started antibiotics for diarrhea.I'll add these were VERY accurate weights as they'd just seen the vet prior to going to him. Everything is documented. You would think the very person who lost the dog would’ve shared it on his social media. Nope, he decided to share it that Tuesday when I lost it. That was also when he started hanging some flyers, not many, and would text me photo proof of everything he was doing because he knew I didn’t believe him at all.Flyers are the most important thing to finding a lost dog, apparently he didn’t get the memo. He also waited 30 hours before even filing a police report, and the report was FALSE. He told me to NOT neuter my dog, and made sketchy posts about my dogs “designer breed”. What kind of professional trainer LOSES a dog they’ve been training for 2 weeks? I’ll tell you what kind. The kind that isn’t professional, and neglects them, the kind that with holds food for training purposes. I came back with an extra 30 pound bag of food!A bulldog that lost nearly 10 pounds! Just find all his different business review pages. He’s closed and reopened under new names.My dog has been missing now for 16 days, just vanished into thin air #PrincetonTheDood

I live near this establishment and have seen workers often take dogs outside and not pick up after their waste. The establishment also blasts loud music late into the night that can be heard down the street.
