Downtown Dogs Chicago - Private Dog Trainer - Chicago, IL

Member since Jun 2017

As a dedicated pet professional with certifications in Detection Dog Training, Dog Agility Training, Dog Obedience Training, K9 Police Dog Training, and Pet Behavior Modification, I have been passionately serving pets since January 2018. My goal is to establish a clear communication system with your dog through the use of markers and positive reinforcement techniques. This approach not only helps your furry friend learn effectively but also fosters a loving bond between you and your pet. I specialize in training dogs of all sizes, from under 20 lbs to over 80 lbs, ensuring that every dog can thrive and become an eager, attentive, and obedient companion.

With years of experience in the field, I have honed my skills to guide dogs through various learning phases, introducing them to advanced concepts that help them manage distractions and control their impulses. My methods are designed to create a happy and confident dog ready to tackle the challenges of everyday life. While I don't offer mobile services, I am committed to providing flexible scheduling options to accommodate your needs. You can rest assured knowing that I am bonded and insured, prioritizing the safety and well-being of your pets.

Ready to transform your dog's behavior and enhance your relationship? I offer both in-person sessions to ensure personalized attention and effective training. Don't wait any longer to achieve the harmonious bond you desire with your pet. Book me through Petworks today!
