My dog, Benny, received AWESOME training from Dog Training Now. He was a little skeptical when we first got there (because he's a bit shy), but by the end of the two week day-training course, he was wagging his tail and excited to go to class . The employees were very friendly and answered any and all questions I had, and I will definitely be using their "refresher" courses in the future because Benny loved it there so much! I highly recommend this company and their 2-week day training program!

I left my rescue, Kaylee, with DTN for not only puppy day-care but also her first overnight away from me. I was glad knowing she was going home with someone she already knew - while she was so happy to see me, the pics showed she had a great time! Thank you!

A great place for dog training! I had my Shepherd mix dog there for the 20-Day Day Training, and the results was amazing! My dog doesn't pull on the leash anymore and great off leash too.

Everyone there are so nice, very helpful and great trainers. A great and welcoming environment for you and your dog. Allison worked with my dog the most. She is very good teacher, and explained very well of what they went over and answered any questions I had.

Overall, I highly recommend this place!

Dog Training Now gave our adopted border collie puppy a strong foundation with fundamental obedience commands via their 10 day training program (we opted not to board our dog - they have the option though!). Findlay eagerly wagged his tail when we dropped him off, their team is extremely knowledgeable, patient with our many questions, and caring.

I used dog training now months ago for my adopted dog Rizzo and the 4 week intensive training. As a large puppy, he was a handful and DTN gave me the tools and resources to tighten up his behaviors. He did not come out of his 4 week training perfect, because it takes a lot of work beyond training to get any dog to be pristine, but they laid a solid foundation for his growth. Even more so, when I board him, I've had such a wonderful experience with Kellie who is his second mama. She welcomes him in with... read more open arms and takes his doggie kisses with ease. He's always happy to go back and to me, that a sign they care well for him. Thank you DTN for taking care of Riz when we head out of town. I always know he's in the best care. read less

Amy and the DTN team had our 5 YO hound rescue Jackson for the two week board and train and taught him the basic obedience commands. We were very impressed in what they'd accomplished in just two short weeks. Their methods are effective without being harsh to the dog like I've seen at some other training places. Highly recommended. When we picked him up on graduation day, Dan spent 2.5 hours with us going over what Jackson had learned. Highly recommended!

My pup, Thor, just graduated from his 2 week class. Today I had the pizza man deliver to us and told my dog to wait as I saw the driver pull into the driveway. My dog patiently waited. The delivery man commented on how well trained my dog was, he could not beleive he was still a pup and that he listened so well! I owe it all to DTN! They are amazing there and I cant wait to go through their off leash program!

Very happy with the training our dog Logan received. We saw a huge difference on walks after the 1st day. No more yanking our arms out of their sockets. Yay! We did the 10 day training. We also take him 2 times a week for the graduate refresher training. All the trainers are real friendly and helpful.

We brought our dog, Rhu, to Dog Training Now for the ten day training to help us with her rambunctious puppy behavior. We couldn’t be happier with the results.

From the very first day we saw significant improvement with regards to behavior on leash, as well as with jumping. And as they incorporated more skills, we continued to see the improvements.

I work as a veterinarian and the reason we ended up at Dog Training Now was based on all of the positive feedback I had heard from clients. Moving forward, I will definitely be recommending their services to clients... read more with new dogs or clients who are looking for professionals to help with their dog training needs read less

Can't say enough about DTN! Having gone through puppy day camp, day care training, and board and train, our three doodles are like new dogs! No more leash pulling, jumping on people and running away! In fact Karma our Aussie Doodle starts work as a therapy dog visiting hospitals with our daughter after passing 3 hours of obedience testing with The Allience of Therapy Dogs! Thanks DTN!

Highly recommend this training facility!!! 10/10 in our books - amazing, friendly, qualified staff, clean facility, and AMAZING top notch results!! We were hoping for good, and our expectations were exceeded! Super impressed and thankful for this place. We LOVE trainer Danny! All the trainers are great! but we had Danny for the off leash program and he was just fantastic. He not only trained our dog, wrigley, with the basic skills needed but he made sure to challenge wrigley and make him be the best that he could be. Danny always took extra time to answer our questions if... read more needed, was so kind, and we just loved working with him! 10/10 for sure!! read less

Brought our Bassett hound puppy Fred there and did a week of puppy daycare and the 10 day drop off training. Fred now listens and is much easier to walk. The staff was great and always willing to explain any questions.

Highly recommend Dog Training Now. I have a one year old Aussie/Jack Russell mix and as loving and sweet as she is - she was also a handful to say the least. After training with Kellie, we are now able to take her out with us. I wanted to be able to take her to horse shows but she was so unmanageable I stopped after our first attempt. Now she is more than able to attend with us and enjoy the time outside. She was well behaved enough to enter the ring herself! — in Roscoe, Illinois.

I brought my young pup here and did the 12 day board and train program. Before I he started training, he would barely respond to his name. Allison did such an amazing job training my dog!! I very seriously could not believe how well behaved once we got him back.

Yeah Henry is trained Thanks to Dog Training Now!

Henry completed the 12 day board and train boot camp. I missed him quite a lot. Thanks to Alysa I was given an update with pictures every day.  We came to home to Indiana, I now have a perfect dog. ( totally potty trained).

Thanks to all the trainers for all their hard work. Henry also misses his best friend Zoe. ( I can't say that name to loud).  I can't say enough about Dog training Now. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

See you soon for... read more follow up training. Also boarding.

My puppy attended puppy preschool.

She is always happy when she goes there.

She gets help with potty training and socializes

The staff really loves the dogs.

I would highly recommend them.

My puppy, Beau, attended three weeks of puppy day camp. He came home happy and well adjusted every evening. I like the staff at Dog Training Now. If they had doggie daycare for dogs over 16 weeks, I would continue to bring my dog there. This was a great choice for our puppy.

They all did an excellent job on training my puppy! Especially Kelly who Bentley styles with. Thank you all for tour help and I do recommend this to everyone for their pets training!

Our 2-year-old dachshund/chihuahua mix, Joanie, recently graduated from the 12-day board and train program. Joanie is a super sweet dog, but was showing leash aggressiveness and was super protective of us, so we decided to try this program while we were on our honeymoon. We were so happy with the regular updates/pics from the trainer, and to see how comfortable Joanie was at the house. It made us feel at ease that she was practicing new skills and socializing. When she got home, she was exhausted!! But, she was able to quickly replicate all of the commands at our house,... read more and is much better on walks! We're looking forward to continuing to practice and coming back to DTN for brush-up sessions. Thank you, Kellie and team! read less

We recently finished both the puppy preschool and 10 day day training programs with Dog Training Now and can not express how happy we were with the staff and our results. Our puppy really responded to the lessons they taught her and they always gave her lots of praise and affection. The staff were so great about reviewing the skills with us and gave us all the tools we need to continue training. They are a caring group who really love dogs and what they do. Thrilled that we found them and recommend highly.

Our dog Aspen just finished her 10 day obedience training and we couldn’t be more happy! Everyone that works there is so sweet and caring. Whenever we would pull up the DTN Aspen would immediately get excited and couldn’t wait to go inside. She is so well trained now but what we are even more impressed with is how much she truly enjoyed going there and the trainers. I recommend this place to all my friends and anyone that has a dog and wants to make their fur-baby happy. Thank you for the excellent work and for making our girl happy.

5 stars from us! Dog Training Now has a great group of trainers who really care about your dog as well as really care about helping them learn what is acceptable behavior...inside and outside the home. Our dog Maisey loved her time there and especially LOVED the last two weeks with Miss Kellie! Thank you so much!

This is a fantastic team of truly caring people.  Their training programs make life easy for the owners, and they really help you understand how to use the training.  Thanks Dog Training Now

Danny did a great job training our 10 month old Coon Hound mix. We did the 12 day Board & Training program and Macy came home much improved. One also needs to remember that the owner needs to be consistent with their pooch once they return home.

Had a wonderful experience with DTN - the staff are both dog and people friendly, very professional, and certainly knowledgeable. My dog can be a handful just based on her personality, let alone her training needs, but the staff were incredibly patient and worked so well with her and with me!

Our rescue pup Mazie graduated from the 12 day board and train program today, and we couldn't be happier. From the initial consultation with Kellie, smooth and friendly drop-off on day 1, frequent text and email updates from Mazie's wonderful trainer Allison (with photos and videos), to the two hour pick up lesson to help me learn how to continue and reinforce the training, DTN was professional, welcoming and caring. We brought home a happy, well-behaved dog, and we look forward to working with DTN in the future. Thank you Allison and everyone at DTN!!

Dog Training Now is the greatest place to have your dog become a happier dog because he understands what you want from him. They are patient with both the dogs and their owners so that everyone has a good experience with them. Not only did my dogs learn but I learned how to communicate with them. I am so happy and proud of Jasper and Jace, my golden retrievers, since they completed the 20 day on and off leash program. I highly recommend that you take the extra off leash program. Well worth it all.... read more Thank you to all at Dog Training Now. read less

Allison is the best! She boarded our dog while we were away and Pixie felt right at home with her other friendly pooches. Allison always kept us updated and sent us pictures. Not only was she well cared for, she was learning how to be a good good too!!  Thanks again to Allison and DTN!

Best dog training achool ever. They took a very jumping,pulling non obedient dog and turned her into a well trained behaved dog. Still as loveable as ever, but non controllable. Staff is VERY, helpful, knowledgeable and extremely patient and loving with the dogs. Couldn't be happier.

Excellent staff and training our new puppy highly recommend

Thank you so much for working with Roo.  Having two dogs at home feels like you are out numbered at times.  But Roo now will "come", "stay", "sit", and overall just respect us more!  It's like he's on our side now!  I loved the step by step guided instructions the trainers gave us at the end of the day.  No matter who picked up Roo they were able to recreate it for the whole family at home based on the "training" we got at the end of each day.

There is not one bad thing that I can say about these guys!  They are so personable, so respectful of people and of the dogs, and they are very professional.  I found Dog Training Now from a link off of Golf Rose Animal Hospital, who we have used for years for our pets.  We took our 13 week old Border Collie in for Puppy Day Camp without even visiting them ahead of time.  We set everything up over the internet.  From the first minute they met our girl, they were kind, friendly and very easy to work with.  We eventually... read more agreed to the 10-week training and WOW!  She follows the commands perfectly and is so much more enjoyable to be with...still an energetic puppy, but easier to walk, play with and live with.  We have a family of 6 and every single one of us who went in for pick up at the end of the training day was encouraged to try the commands and coached on how to get better.  They asked for our input and our at home experiences.  They helped not only her to be well trained, but us to be better trained too.  She's now a graduate and we're very excited to see how much better she will get.  I don't know that I'll ever be able to take her to another location for daycare, training or boarding.  They are amazing!  Their services are worth every penny.  Thank you! read less

Our dog Oscar loves everyone at Dog Training Now! He went through the drop off 2 week training camp at almost a year old and did so well! He gets so excited now when we drop him off there for his overnight stays while we are on trips. The ease of knowing he is well taken care of is priceless!

Jackson got a lot of attention. He came home happy and was excited to reflect the mext day. He wss taught skills we can work on at home which will make Jackson feel he is doing his job and work out his energy!

Dog training now did such a good job with our 2 year old chihuahua pup, Milo. Milo was a shelter rescue who had a lot of traumatic past and we thought he’d never be able to get over it. Our trainer was danny and he took care of Milo like one of his own dogs. When we picked up Milo after the 12 day board and train program, we couldn’t believe it was the same dog.

Nevertheless, we’ll be going back again.

Our puppy Coco just finished a 10-Day training session and we couldn't be happier. Staff is super friendly and is great with her. Coco has learned so much. Happy to continue her training because of the results.

Dog training now, is the best place you can take your dog, for all your pets needs. Danny is great, he has been very helpful in all of Tina Tuner's needs, Dan is great, also and all the girls too. I highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a place to have their dog trained, GREAT JOB GUYS.

Dog Training Now has been wonderful! They did an excellent job with our 2 bull mastiffs Cleo and Titus. They go over everything step by step and they are good about making sure you know how to correct the dogs when they aren't listening. My dogs would get excited every time we would pull into the parking lot.  The best part is that they would be so exhausted by the time they got home, and they would just fall asleep all evening. Highly recommend this place.  Very nice people and you won't be disappointed.

My dog is SO much better after doing the 10 day boot camp. The trainers are so kind and knowledgeable. You will feel comfortable leaving your dog in their hands bc they truly care about each and every animal and want them to succeed.

Took our stubborn beagle/bulldog mix Cable here after hearing good things from multiple people about DTN. We did the 10-day Day Training program & I couldn't be happier! Even at his most stubborn, he was still able to get the skills down. These people have the most patience for dealing with Cable. Incredibly friendly staff (no seriously they're all the sweetest people), very hands on & patient, and they give nothing short of a great experience. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone who needs help training their pups.

Special shout out to trainer Alysa for dealing with Cable's alligator barrel... read more rolls & attempted leash eating probably more than anyone. She was so nice even when Cable wasn't. I can't thank the whole team enough! read less

DTN was and still is a life changing experience for our family and little pup. DTN helped set a foundation to recommended issues that we will eventually face as our pup matures. DTN's training program is effective, but the continued success will be up to the family's dedication and be pro active in reapplying what was learned.

It's an investment that will reap great returns through our pups lifetime.

Little Bit was a shy, scared 3 month old Morkie when she started Puppy Camp. The staff took her under their wings and gave her the right amount of love, attention and guidance. She grew confident even though she is "little^. At almost 5 months she graduated Obedience School with flying colors. She will now attend Graduate School a few days a week to keep up the skills she has learned and build on them. Little Bit loves going there. I'm so glad we found Dog Training Now!

I know I made the right decision by choosing DTN.

My 20 month shepherd/husky mix was well behaved for me at home, but a handful with other dogs and some men became his arch nemesis. I was also always nervous that he would get too excited around kids or pull on my elderly mother if she tried to walk him.

I chose the 20 day program since my goal is to be able to take my guy camping/hiking and be confident at the dog park where he is off leash.  An E collar was the best option for me, so I... read more did a bit of research and found DTN. I appreciate that they do not treat train. I mean seriously, I don't carry around snacks everywhere I go, but I still need him to know I expect him to listen.

I was skeptical about using a prong collar when I just wanted to learn an Ecollar, but the quick results changed my mind immediately. It's almost like a service dog jacket, my pup knows it's time to work.

Why you might want to send your pup to this school?

1.  Staff, staff, staff...my dog likes people.  He loves the staff at DTN! He can't get enough of them.  I honestly thought he might be hesitant going to school where the teachers make him work all day.  I could not be more wrong.  I think it might be his favorite place to go ever! He gives me a wag if I say we're going to the park.  He goes full butt wiggles when I say school and pull out his working collars.

2.  They train you too.  I knew going in that I would struggle more than my dog.  Learning to be consistent, how to correct, when to correct, oh the growing pains of being a fur baby mama! No worries, every pick up they take the time to explain, show you by example, then give you a try so you're comfortable.  I've never felt rushed with my endless questions of "am I doing this right?", "what if xyz happens", "can you re explain that, I don't get it".

3.  Progress! My pup would "sit" and "down" for treats at home before DTN.  About a month later, I have him walking off leash at the dog park with pups running around and I can get him to sit and stay while I run away.  He can't wait to hear me yell out "come".  

4.  Stimulation is key.  He loves praise and showing off what he knows.  I thought I would always be the kind of person to let my dog to do whatever he wants as long as he's good.  DTN's program has proved to me that my guy craves work.  He wants to learn new things and get it right.  It makes him proud and you can see it in his face.

5.  Pride! My mom (little 90 lb. lady) told me that someone looked at her walking my dog (60 lb. ball of fur) the other day and had him heel with an auto sit....she just wanted to show off, hahaha. I think they both walked away with their heads held high of work well done!

Needless to say, I will continue to bring my guy for regular visits.  Not just to maintain his skills, but especially for the amazing team.  

Thank you DTN for all that you do! Koda love you guys! read less

I cant begin to describe how wonderful Dan and his staff are! In 12 days they managed to turn my wild Westie girl into a much better behaved dog and family member. Pricey yes, but WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! I am a huge, huge fan! Thank you for taming my fur baby for me!

We took out 8 month old Omani Wadi dog to Dog Training Now after hearing good experiences from both our best friend and my grandparents who had gone through the program. The initial meeting made me confident this was the place we needed to be. They were friendly and welcoming every step of the way and willing to answer any questions I had. They also took the time to work through my dogs temper tantrums and were so patient through it all. I look forward to using them again for occasional brush up classes and boarding... read more in the future. read less

Our 9 month old lab just completed four weeks of board and train with Dog Training Now. Danny and the rest of the trainers were amazing! Felt very comfortable leaving our pup in their care and they did an an excellent job communicating every step of the training process along the way.

We can't say enough good things about our experience at DTN. Our 10 mo. old mini golden doodle Finley went in without manners or confidence and came out a new dog! Finley went for the 12 day Board and Train Program and spent days at DTN and went home with one of the trainers (Danny). We would see posts of his progress on FB and Instagram, but we were not prepared for his transformation. Due to an extended bout of giardia, Finley couldn't be the in puppy classes and lacked socialization with other dogs. ... read more He was friendly, but afraid of his own shadow! Danny was patient and consistent and it really made all the difference. On pick up day, Danny spent two hours training us and we are committed to reinforcing all he has learned. We have already taken him to the store and on walks and he has been able to approach strangers and unfamiliar dogs with no barking, pulling, etc. We couldn't be more thrilled and will be doing drop in GTA to keep him (and us) on track. Thank you so much Danny and DTN! read less

I have had two dogs go through this training program including my 5 month old puppy that just finished the 10 day program! It is now possible to walk BOTH of them on a leash without them crossing over; both listen so well and this program was soooo worth it!!! Very happy that we found Dog Training Now!

I cannot say enough nice things about this business. I brought my 1 yr old french bulldog with zero manners and Dan and all the trainers turned him into a proper young dog. He finished the 10 day program, day training. He was well taken care and enjoyed going every day. I think he even misses it. He learned all the skills I was told he would and on schedule. I would recommend this business and would bring any dog to them for training. They are fantastic!

After attending Puppy Preschool and the Ten Day Training Program, Maddy is now attending the Graduate Training Academy (GTA). By attending this program, Maddy is now able to reinforce the skills she has learned. The trainers are caring, willing to answer questions, and provide helpful suggestions. A special thank you to Danny, Melissa and Amy. Dan continues to manage a quality professional training studio.

We have been using DTN for two years since our lab came into our lives. From the first day, they showed nothing but love for my dog and a passion for what they do. My lab did the boot camp when he was 4 mos old and he is seriously so well behaved...people comment on it all the time. I owe a lot of it to them!!

I highly recommend Dog Training now. Our puppy Bailey went through Puppy Day camp starting at 8 weeks. She loved going and was so excited when she got there each morning. We also did Puppy Preschool. That was great for her to meet other people and experience things we don’t have at home like the ramp. Then she did the ten day board and train. She really missed playing with her friends but she has learned so much and is a well behaved pup. This is all due to the positive training she got from the trainers.

Dog Training Now is a wonder! I took My 4 year old, stubborn dog, Biscuit, to the 10 day training class. He has learned so much and enjoyed attending everyday. All the trainers are great but I was really impressed with Kellie. Everyday when I picked up Biscuit she would go over the things he learned that day. She gave me lots of helpful tips.

Biscuit will definitely miss going there everyday. I wish Dog Training Now had an advance school!!

We brought our 1.5 year old pup Aurora for a 2 week training split between day training and board and train. Dan is awesome and he spent a lot of time explaining what Aurora learned each day and gave us a chance to practice the skill first hand. We never felt rushed and Dan spent a lot of time making sure that we also learned how to continue drilling the skill with our pup.

We saw immediate progress the first day that we came to pick her up from day training. It wasn't perfect, but we were impressed that she was... read more able to keep focus on Dan while we were in the same room. The progress just got better each day and we were seeing her showing more self restraint and being able to focus. We left her for over a week when we went on a business trip and her trainer Amy was great. She sent us daily updates and pictures. It was good to see that she was treated like family and got to spend time learning skills at home with a caring trainer. It was hard for us to leave her, but Amy helped make us feel comfortable and at easy that she was in good hands. When we picked her up, we were amazed at how much she progressed. Dan spent a lot of time going over the skills with us.

When we got home, she tried to test some of the skills, but we are keeping up rules and Aurora is really showing a lot more maturity and understanding of home rules. It's easier to take for for a walk and to have company over. We had guest over and after an initial few barks, we were able to get Aurora to relax without her jumping on everyone. It was quite an improvement.

I'm really happy with how Dog Training now approaches training. They help train a pet and not a military dog and show great compassion for pets. Aurora is a bit more nervous around new people and they took their time to make sure she was comfortable before starting training. I'm glad we found them and highly recommend Dog Training Now. read less

Extremely happy with the level of care and expertise given to each and every puppy accordingly. My little 11 week old Morkie is learning how to play with other pups her size as well as other important skills such as potty training and leash walking! Yeah ☺

We brought our puppy Shadow to puppy day camp for 4 weeks until she aged out of it. She absolutely loved it and could not have been more excited when we approached the entrance door each morning. Caring staff who seem to love all the dogs they work with.

This is an amazing training program. It is incredible how much they teach your dog in so little time. All of the trainers were very professional and knowledgeable. Our dog absolutely loved Tony. Thank you for referring us and going out of your way to help us, Amy. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic place! They truly have your dog's best interest in mind, and are very compassionate people. Clean, organized facility.. Very highly recommend taking your dog here if you are thinking about training!

I had my 6 month old puppy do the 10 day training and it was amazing! She learned so much in a short period of time. The staff is very knowledgeable. We loved Tony and Kelsey! They were great with our pup. We can’t thank you guys enough. The training transformed our dog!

My family’s puppy Bailey loves going here for Puppy Day Camp & Puppy Preschool. You can tell the whole staff truly loves what they do & love the dogs that go to Dog Training Now.

We just had our dog Stella complete the 12-day board and train with trainer Tony. She began shy and stubborn, and she came back more confident and happy to please us. She was well-loved while we were gone, and we loved the tips Tony shared with us about walking both of our dogs. It is So-Much-Easier now! Stella and Rocky can't wait to visit their friends at DTN again soon!

Excellent connected, caring staff!

Took my dog there for training and have done follow ups since. Amazing place and the trainers really care about the pets!

Not only do I like this place but my dog loves going there.

My puppy Dexter started going here for puppy day camp. Once he turned 4 months old I started the training program. I did the 10 day training one. The first day of day camp Dexter was extremely scared since he was really young. Taylor was there to greet him and try to make him feel welcomed. She definitely became attached to him. Every trainer that I talked to on a regular basis was really helpful. Kelsey was great (except those crocs). Danny always had great information as well. Melissa and Dan were very friendly and always were open for any... read more comments or questions that I had. I did not communicate with the other trainers as much, but if they are as good as the ones I did talk with, then they are great. All in all dexter learned so much in such a short amount of time. I am glad that I chose to bring Dexter here. He has now graduated and is going to be really sad that he will not be going there every day. They told me about the graduate training and I will be doing that sometimes just so Dexter has a fun and great atmosphere to go to while I am working. Thanks so much for your hard work guys! Dexter appreciates it so much and that is what matters most!! Also Tony is the best (I’m saying this so he can brag more). Thanks again! read less

Guys... this is the BEST place to get your dog trained. I love Dan, Tony, and Taylor. BEYOND AMAZING. Please go there because not only is it affordable but the staff TRULY cares about the dogs. Highly freakin recommend!

It is my first time having a doggie that will weigh more than 15 pounds.  In fact, my Huskidore (Husky/Laborador) puppy will probably be more than 50 lbs.  After adopting, I started to have concerns on potty training and behaviors that cannot be ignored with a larger dog.  I am so glad I found Dog Training Now.  After enrolling my puppy in the Puppy Day Camp, he has great potty habits and I can see that he really enjoys the day camp and all the human and puppy friends.  Everyday when we pull into the parking lot of the studio,... read more he would sit up with ears perked up and eyes sparkled.  As soon as his paws lands on the ground, he would lead me to the door.  He is older than 16 weeks now, so I can not wait until he starts the obedience day camp next week.  (really hoping he can learn some cool tricks... *_^) read less

I’m so happy I chose the right place to train my 8 month old puppy! DTN has overall been an amazing experience for my puppy and my family. I chose the 10 day day training and couldn’t be happier with my experience at DTN! Every night when I came to pick up Kona, each and every trainer I met with was so thorough in explaining exactly what Kona learned that day. Kona can be quite stubborn and I was shocked with the results on how much she has grown since coming to DTN. I can’t thank DTN enough for helping... read more train Kona and get her to where she needs to be to succeed! We will definitely be coming back for refreshers (Kona sure misses everyone there)! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ... Thanks again DTN! � read less

Wonderful place and they are so kind and helpful to the dogs. My dog loves going there every day. A truly great place with a super friendly staff. I wish I could give them 50 stars

Dog Training Now is the best decision I could have made for my dog, Daphne. She has always been very smart, but that got her into trouble! From day one at Dog Training Now, I could see a difference. The trainers are incredibly patient, kind, and intelligent. I always felt like Daphne was in great hands. At the end of every school day, they taught me the skills she learned and how to practice at home. They’re great with teaching you how a dog’s brain works as well. It helped me gain understanding for how she’s processing the lessons and... read more how to best aid in her learning.

Danny worked with her in the second half of her 20 day program. He was so patient with answering all of my questions and being a stellar teacher for Daphne. He transformed my little trouble maker into a wonderful canine citizen. I know she’ll miss coming to Dog Training Now every day (I will too!).

Thank you, Dog Training Now, from the bottom of my heart. read less

I have a 18month Miniature Schnauzer who thinks he's a German Shepherd when it comes to barking. He's very shy and nervous around strangers and has a very very hard time walking on the leash. It's probably my fault that he's this way since I didn't socialize him early enough. I was going on vacation with my family and decided to send him to boot camp. I live in South Loop Chicago and trust me when I say I have researched a lot of locations, none of them really fit our needs. Finally, I stumbled upon Dog Training Now and... read more I am so glad I did. The 12 days has really changed Dobby's behavior and made our life so much easier. I can now enjoy taking a nice walk with him without him pulling so hard on the leash that he's chocking. Kelsey, his trainer is so patient and sweet. She kept me updated through the days and sent me pictures of him periodically. I am so grateful for everything they did for Dobby. I know it wasn't easy. There's still a lot we have to work on together but I can definitely see the improvements. read less

Our Bella is a sweetheart and full of energy but she was very wild. We couldn’t get her to stop jumping on people, and i struggled with her on walks. Two days into training and she was a completely different dog. She completed the 10 day training and now looks at me on walks and follows commands very nicely. The trainers are all very nice and knowledgeable. They truly care about the dogs and take good care of them. Thank you Dog Training Now !

Dog training now is an amazing place! We did the 10 day training and my dog went from being naughty and hard to train to being so knowledgeable and sweet. Would definitely recommend!

I brought my incredibly wild and never listening-German Sheherd puppy here. I was hopeful after seeing the reviews but did not anticipate the incredible change in behavior I would see. My dog, Elli, was a different dog after training here. She can be a little difficult at times and just not listen but she learned all of the commands so quickly and the staff was great in demonstrating to me how to give her commands and correct her so that she would learn the behavior needed everywhere, not just at school. I am so incredibly pleased with the service. The... read more staff really loves and cares for dogs. I would trust them with my dog anytime!

I highly recommend Dog Trainjng Now. My Cj is a 8 month old who NEVER listened when given commands and was VERY stubborn. It’s safe to say that after his 10 day training he is a completely different dog. He learned so many good tricks that will not only help him out but me as well. I appreciate all the trainers so much!
