  • Food Rewards

Chicagoland Dog Training offers several programs to cater to different needs.

The Puppy Preschool program consists of 4 weekly group classes, each lasting 1 hour, held at their training studio in McHenry. Designed for puppies 10 to 18 weeks old, it focuses on building confidence, laying foundational skills like name recognition, handling exercises, basic commands (‘sit,’ ‘take it/leave it,’ ‘watch me’), and extensive socialization with people, other puppies, and environments. Classes are held every Saturday at 11:00 AM, with a maximum of 10 puppies per class. Owners need to bring treats and up-to-date vaccination records.

The 14 Day Stay and Train program is an all-inclusive dog obedience training where the dog becomes part of the trainers’ family for two weeks. During this intensive program, dogs work with trainers daily to learn leash manners and more than 10 specific commands. Upon completion, owners are shown how to maintain consistency with their dog’s new skills.

The Stay and Refresh program is a boarding service available for dogs who have completed either the Day Training or Stay and Train programs. During their stay, all previously learned obedience and commands are refreshed.

The 10 Day Training program involves 10 private 1-hour lessons with the owner and dog, scheduled once a week. This program teaches basic obedience commands to the dog, and these commands are also taught to the owner to ensure continued training and consistency between lessons.

The Intermediate program is designed to further enhance both the dog’s and owner’s skills and knowledge. It focuses on sharpening existing basic obedience commands and introduces additional commands such as ‘heel,’ ‘sit in motion,’ ‘sit from a down,’ and ‘long distance come.’
