Our goal at Chicago Canine Academy is to give our beloved dogs big lives. Untrained dogs have such small lives, tethered as they are to us, limited to walking three miles per hour. Whether you have a Great Dane, Miniature Pinscher or anything in between, that's just not good enough in our opinion. These marvelous canine athletes have to be able to run full out to get the exercise they really need. So many of the dog problems that come to us are not much more than the result of a dog living in physical frustration because he can't do what nature intended. These frustrations appear in the form of aggression, destructiveness, anxiety, excessive barking, pacing, and obesity. All of these problems can be the result of an under-exercised canine. Why can't we simply give these guys the workouts they need? Because they're not trained. If you let them off the leash, you might never see them again. They could get hit by a car. They could attack a person or another dog. My three girls, Maxine, Vale and Lyka, can run and gun anywhere I take them.I can do this safely because they are one hundred percent reliable due to their training. It's an absolute joy for me to see my dogs living big lives. I can take them to restaurants, airports, art fairs and assisted living facilities. You could never do any of these things with an untrained dog. At Chicago Canine Academy, it's our job to help you train your dog to achieve the big life he deserves. Our methods to achieve that goal will vary depending on your dog. In training, we seek out your dog's weaknesses (they all have them!) so we can help him cope without freaking out, no matter what the situation.When you are looking for a comfortable place to work with your dog on training or obedience, come and explore our facility. Our certified, professional dog trainers are here to assist you.
