Testimonials
We are so pleased to have found Chicago Canine Academy. Our 62 lb. 7 month old German Shepherd was getting hard to handle and not listening. After the 2 week boot camp, she is such a pleasure to walk. We will continue to go in for reinforcement sessions. The trainers are very welcoming and know how to get results with the dogs.

Our boy Sam is safe, happy and thriving so much in just the two weeks spent in their care. Beyond thankful to the team and can’t wait to send our other pup here. Cannot recommend it enough.
