Amazing staff and training! We did the boot camp for both of our dogs and they transformed them into well trained, in shape dogs with an eagerness to train more. The extended weekly groups ensure bother dog and owner accountability. They truly care about your dogs and will continue to help in anyway possible. I can’t say enough.

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.

Chicago Canine Academy is the most wonderful peaceful understanding in vigorous training facility. Jim is such a wonderful leader in training the dogs. All different types of breeds are there and Jim treats them as his own there’s a lot of love and care at this place and that’s what makes this place so exceptionalthe employees there the other trainers are extremely extremely wonderful careful understanding and most of all they treat your dog like it’s their own all the love and care in the world goes into each of these dogs.

The best place for your dog! Might not be everyone’s cup of tea but we love a strong and ethical approach to dog training with lots of love! They offer that here. 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. If you are willing to put in the work you will see a vast improvement and just how much a dog can thrive with structure!

Chicago canine has helped me train my Akita mix since she was 4 months old (now 7m). She went through their boot camp/boarding and has been going back constantly for day care twice a week and group training every Saturday. I’ve never had an accident and my pup is always excited to go in. Jim, Algis, and Diane are no nonsense trainers. Will never sugar coat anything and will be strict on the owner and pup.
