We are so incredibly impressed with dog training now. Our puppy went through the 4- week training program and every trainer was absolutely wonderful and the training has stuck. We now send her back at least once a week for the doggy day care knowing she is in such good hands. Highly recommend!

My 1 year old dog was so friendly, she couldn't contain herself around people and other dogs. She also liked to dart out the door (to chase rabbits & squirrels) when we opened it. All this even after I worked with her in two training classes; beginner & Intermediate. Then I brought her to Dog training now. After two weeks, they gave me back a well behaved dog. I was so impressed, I signed up for two more weeks of off leash training and now my dog is very well behaved, comes when I call, stays when I tell her and drops my socks (that she likes to steal) when I tell her. Many thanks to Britney & Bill for their professional training and giving me back a well behaved member of the family. I highly recommend Dog Training Now... you won't regret it. (Be sure to work with your dog to reinforce what they have learned!)

I waited a bit before I posted a review. I wanted to see how my dog would act after being home for a while and not going to class everyday. But, I must say, my Lydia is a dream. I can not even believe what a great girl she is. All the training she recieved just keeps falling into place. Thank you ALL who worked with her. Best decision I've made (besides getting her) is taking her to DTN. Thank you all again, so very much.

I walked in the first time for a consult and all the trainers were in love with my puppy. They made ME feel special. LOL. I signed up for three weeks of the puppy program where my puppy learned the world isn't such a scary place and building his confidence up. He even took swimming lessons! Once he turned 16 weeks I placed him in the 20 day program which goes over walking on a loose leash, sit, down, wait, place, heel, and come, all on and off leash. My puppy learned so fast. He will for sure be back for the refresher courses! Thank you again to all the trainers who took care of my puppy the past two months. You guys are the real MVPs!

Leo did a 10 day training program with DTN and we saw a huge improvement. He’s a stubborn Multipoo and is also 4yo. We should have done basic training with him earlier…but life happens. Everyone who worked with Leo was super friendly and he was always happy to see them! Leo still has to work on his manners, but we’ve noticed such a difference in only 10 days time. They did an amazing job making sure we knew what to work on every night/from this point forward and were always willing to answer any questions we had. Training laid great groundwork for us to build on and practice with. We will definitely be back for some grad refresher courses. Thank you DTN for being patient and caring with our stubborn boy.

I highly recommend DTN to anyone struggling with their dog's manners (particularly on the leash). My 7-month old chocolate lab did great in the 10-day day training program and we can now go on walks that are enjoyable for everyone. They do a great job teaching the dogs (and the humans) fundamental skills and addressed many of my individual concerns that were outside of the standard curriculum. My dog loved her trainers and looked forward to going to "school" each day. We will be back!

 Waffles did the 26 day board and train with DTN…Allison was her trainer. Appropriately nicknamed Dufus, Waffles is a 7 mo old Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd who is pure love but ridiculously stubborn. Allison worked miracles!! Waffles has a lot of work to do but when WE know the right commands and are consistent with them, she is pretty close to perfect!!! It’s shocking. No more jumping on the counters or biting/mouthing us, can hold a place command for 30+ min 😱, and when we took her to the Palatine Farmers’ Market, someone came up to us and said she’d never seen a more well-behaved dog!!!!!💃🏽🥳😍Thank you so much for all you did. We will definitely be back with our 7 lb Maltese bully, Cannoli!!!

I took my 2 year old mix breed rescue dog who had been running the streets in Texas very pregnant. I adopted her after she gave birth to 11 puppies. She is a sweet dog but knew nothing as far as commands and was very reactive on leash. I entered her into their 10 day program and she is now a well mannered dog who knows all her commands and is much less reactive on leash. They did an amazing job training her with out breaking her spirit. Thank you

Having my pup enrolled here was such a great experience! She was excited to show up every day- even for hard work- because of the wonderful staff. I was too! They were very thoughtful and helpful on sharing details and answering questions. My dog seemed to genuinely enjoy going ever day of training and I loved that they post pics of the training sessions. We plan to re-enroll for advanced sessions as well because we liked the experience and felt it was beneficial for an adult shelter dog that came from a not so great situation.

I am absolutely happy with the results for my Snoopy boy!! Dan and his entire team were so great and patient with my Snoopy, I truly appreciate the hard work !! Now I’m able to walk with snoopy without pulling , barking etc!! 5 star would be too low!! I give the entire staff a 10 stars , ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you once again we’ll see you soon!!

We have seen such a difference in our pup over the last 4 weeks! We are able to communicate with her better and she has been excited to go to school each day and work on her training. We are looking forward to bringing her back to DTN for future endeavors, thank you DTN for allowing Duchess to make great strides and have a better relationship with us!

By far the best dog training option/facility around, I can not say enough great things about the entire staff, facility, training program, etc. We had our 4 month cavapoo pup Walt in the 10 day obedience course and it was a game-changer. He's become such a confident walker and is so well behaved. He also is much more comfortable around other dogs and people and knows how to behave around them. He also loved all the trainers and we know he can't wait to go back to see them. Thanks to everyone for providing a safe, clean, super fun environment for Walt! We will see you again soon!

We did the 12 day board and train with our 10 month old pup Riley. I was apprehensive leaving him for that long however he grew a strong bond with his trainer Brittany! Brittany eased my anxiety with photos videos and texts keeping us updated. You can tell she really loves her job! Riley literally at 23 pounds ripped our arms out of our sockets on leash out in our backyard and chewed constantly on his leash. Walks were constant pulling. Now he walks confidently on leash and heels when asked. He even sits when we stop walking! His tail is up and he looks proud showing us his nice walk! We literally are in awe when we go around the block. We used to have a firm grip on the leash and now it is not necessary. He also does well with other dog distractions in the neighborhood too! His jumping and barking have simmered down a bit with the tools we were given to stop this. He does a nice place in his bed also! Still working on the prolonged stay in it though at home. I freaked out in a good way when I saw him in place with the other dogs around him! Thank you Dog Training Now staff and Brittany!

I cannot recommend DTN enough! Annie had such a great time there and she’s like an entirely different dog. Before going, she had on-leash aggression and was struggling with basic commands. It was also difficult to get her attention. I couldn’t take her many places but now I feel comfortable doing so. She even made some new friends. A special shout out to her trainer, Bill! He was just awesome with her and you can tell she hung on his every word. Since Annie is a little older than a puppy, she didn’t get to do all the things the puppies do but they are so thorough with them and get them acclimated to things they’ll probably encounter at some point - vacuums, bikes, kids toys, nail trims, bandages, “cones of shame”, etc. If you are looking for training for your dog, I highly recommend Dog Training Now! The staff is awesome and so is the facility. They are also available after your pup graduates to help with anything you may need.

 Oh gosh, where do I start…? They are excellent at what they do and you can tell they love the dogs like their own. They are also amazing at listening to the owners and answering their questions.

This training is essential to any dog owner that wants the opportunity to have a well trained dog. We chose DTN based on past reviews and the multiple training options (including swim lessons) they offer. That said, we now believe it is not just the programs, but the people. Everyone we dealt with, specifically JJ, our trainer have both in depth knowledge in training and have a genuine love for what they do and the dogs they train. Dan, the owner, is on site, and very personable and knows his stuff. Our dog just came back from a 12 day Board and Train program, and is a different dog than what we dropped of. No more pulling, counter surfing, biting, or other bad behavior. He, actually looks to us for instruction now. And, yes the training just finished, but JJ trained us as well. Now we have the tools to continue his training as he continues to grow. Thank you DTN!

We thought our rescued dog was a lost cause. It is amazing how far he has come.

I absolutely love Dog Training Now! I had my boxer trained years ago which helped solve his severe separation anxiety. I have recommended this place to my parents for their boxer as well. I just enrolled my newest puppy into puppy school and it has been an amazing experience for him and us. 10 out of 10 will always recommended anyone who needs dog training to go here.
