Dog Training

Meet our dog trainer Nelly. She has been working with hundreds of animals ever since she was a little girl. In fact, in her early school days she was voted "Most likely to work at the zoo". Her passion for animals led her to enter the dog industry during her teen years where she began volunteering at veterinary offices, shelters and daycare/training facilities in the Chicagoland area. Since then, she has managed and trained dog packs and staff with multiple dog daycare facilities while working on achieving her masters degree in dog training.

Nelly focuses on teaching owners the importance of canine body language and energy. This knowledge is transformative in creating a healthy and joyful relationship with dogs and their families.

 

Our 1-1 training sessions with Nelly can take place at your home or our space. Sessions are focused on an area of your choosing to improve your dog's behavior (ie separation anxiety, barking, leash pulling) over the course of 6 to 10 sessions. Each week we work with your dog for 60 minutes and each session we give you a repetitive exercise (homework) to do with your dog every day for 15 mins before the next week's session.

 

Sessions are $80 and must be booked as a 6 pack of weekly sessions. Should your dog's progress stall or the behaviors be more severe, we may recommend additional sessions a la carte at any stage of the process.

​

Session One: Intake/Assessment

Session Two: Redirection

Session Three: Neutrality

Session Four: Trigger Engagement

Session Five: Practice Techniques

Session Six: Check in/Maintenance

90% of dog training and seeing long term change in behaviors relies on you as the owner to provide daily consistency. We hope you're ready to commit to change. Let's work together to create a better future for the lifetime of your beloved dog.
