Chicago Dog Whisperer

All training programs are tailored to the specific needs of the dog and owner. A consultation is required to determine the appropriate training path, considering the dog’s personality and the owner’s goals.

Programs are generally held at a location of the client’s choosing, with the exception of the Master the Walk program, which specifically addresses leash pulling and reactivity. The Oz Park & Facility Programs include: Master the Walk (3 weeks) for pulling and reactivity in reactive and non-reactive dogs; Basic Control (6 weeks) for reactivity, off-leash recall, and minor behavior problems like barking; Moderate Control (9 weeks) for reactivity, off-leash recall, minor human aggression, and stationary control; and Full Control (12 weeks) for reactivity, stationary control, minor/moderate human aggression, and full off-leash control.

The Behavior Program (12+ weeks) is designed for rare cases of truly aggressive dogs and offers a “warranty” on the behaviors covered for the dog’s lifetime. This program is more expensive due to the severity of behaviors and associated risks. Should issues arise later, Jesse will re-assess and address problems at no extra charge.

A fee for human aggression will be charged if a dog has bitten or attempted to bite a human, due to increased liability and risk. The Behavior Program includes a lifetime “warranty” on the behaviors covered, meaning Jesse will re-assess and address issues at no extra charge if they reoccur.

Jesus ‘Jesse’ San Miguel, known as “The Chicago Dog Whisperer,” is the owner and sole-operator of Canine Perspective, Inc. He possesses a natural intuition and ability to determine the cause and solution for a dog’s behavior. Jesse’s primary focus is to educate everyone on the importance of understanding dogs and their respective needs, especially those with behavioral issues.

He acquired his knowledge through volunteer work at a local animal shelter in Harlingen, Texas, where he focused on “problem” dogs. Jesse later pursued an internship with world-renowned dog trainer Richard Heinz, “The Miami Dog Whisperer,” to further his expertise in severe behavior cases. He now applies this knowledge to rehabilitate dogs at risk of euthanasia.
