Pet Boarding Training in Chicago

“Josie LOVES sit social and we absolutely love to bring her here because we can tell how happy and excited she gets when we arrive just at the door. Once we walk inside, she forgets about me and dashes into the room! The people who work here are really sweet and kind, making it trustworthy for us to bring Josie here. We love receiving the pup updates during Josie’s stay here and seeing the cutest photos! I’ve done a ton of research before selecting a daycare to bring Josie to and this place definitely gave me a sense a relief. Thank you Sit Social for loving Josie as much as we do.“

“I can’t say enough great things about Bow Wow Behavioral! I've done board & train and in home training and the progress George has made since starting with them has been incredible—he’s calmer, listens so much better, and our walks are actually enjoyable now. Ty, Kyle, and Laura are true pros who clearly love what they do. They take the time to explain things, tailor their approach to each dog, and celebrate every little win along the way. It’s been such a rewarding experience watching George grow with their guidance. If you’re looking for a team that’s knowledgeable, kind, and truly committed to helping dogs and their owners succeed, Bow Wow Behavioral is the one to call.“

“Love this BoB for my pup. Great service; the daycare and boarding service are affordable and top tier! Everyone on staff is caring, knowledgeable, and dedicated.“

“Trust this place 100% with my dog. Xavier especially is always so warm and welcoming with him!“

“I can’t recommend this place enough! My dog was always so excited to see Sean pick him up in the morning and always so tired when he got home.“

“Love julia and Leslie rocks on 79 th street the best ??????they’re always doing a good job ♥️♥️♥️i loves how they made my baby look ♥️♥️♥️“

“Love this place. Great monthly wellness package that covers a lot. I have Persian/Himalayan cats. Dr. Taylor is amazing. The staff is friendly. Highly recommend the monthly plan. It covers blood other test. Unlimited visits.“

“My puppy recently finished the 12-week Pup Start Plus program, and I couldn’t be happier. The trainers are patient and knowledgeable, my pup gained great socialization and training skills, and the option to board with a trainer has been a game changer.“

“We love them SO MUCH. The folks here are so kind to our baby dog (and her humans). She loves daycare and boarding with them. We trust the BowWow team 100%!“

“Dr Harris and her staff are not only professional but also KIND. Best vet appointment I’ve had in my life and my doggy agrees.“

“While Jesse helped us make progress on our pup’s behavioral issues and overprotectiveness, what I think we appreciate most is how much better we can communicate with our gal. We understand *how* she thinks. Jesse is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to break down how each word and action is interpreted by our dog. Now, our communication with our pup is clearer, she’s happier and less frustrated, we can read situations and anticipate actions. She can have more freedom and independence. Our bond and our trust is stronger in each other.

Struggles with resource guarding and even darting after squirrels is less and less as we continue to use the tools Jesse has shared. And we have the skills to apply to many situations which is empowering.

We are so happy to have found the crew at Canine Perspective. They are all warm, attentive, and most importantly, great at what they do! Jesse was great with answering tons of specific questions in sessions and over email. He had solutions to all the behavioral roadblocks wed hit after other training programs.

It’s been so rewarding and such a relief. So many folks think that your dog will never be an off-leash dog, or that you just have to live with reactivity, avoiding certain situations. Jesse proves that, if you put in the work and understand your dog, that does not have to be the case. Thank you! What a gift to have his talent and this uniquely-structured daycare in Chicago. 
Can't wait to get her on one of your treadmills!“

“I brought my 2 kittens in for their semi-annual exam. Dr. Schell is great. He answers all questions and is so gentle when examining them. The vet technicians and staff are pleasant and friendly. Very welcoming environment.“

“I've been taking my 20lb golden doodle to Liz at House of Paws since 2021 and have only had positive experiences! My dog always comes back looking great after grooming, and she loves going for daycare too. Good prices and great customer service, and a super easy website to schedule appointments. Thanks Liz and Eli for taking such great care of Winnie!“

“I love earth pups so so much! They take such great care of my two dogs Sheldon and wolfie! I've always had anxiety boarding my dogs but I know now when I bring my dogs here that everything will be alright :) the staff is amazing! Thank you earth pups!!“

“Hasani is more than your average dog trainer. He has an expert-level understanding of canine behavioral shaping and modification strategies. Virgil, our 11-month-old Doberman Pinscher, completed the 3 week board and train program. He was already a good boy, but still had some annoying puppy behaviors and needed more obedience in general, as he could be quite willful at times.When Virgil returned from the board and train, his behavior was vastly improved, and many of his annoying behaviors were virtually eliminated. He also acquired many new skills and commands that make it easier to manage him in any situation, and help him to better regulate fears and anxieties so that he is a more calm and confident dog.Hasani took a lot of time to really educate on how to interact with Virgil for the best results. I learned a lot about proper leash-handling, behavioral redirection, and productive play that I never would have considered, and haven’t heard from any other trainer or class. This continues into the generous follow-up sessions that he provides.We wanted Virgil to be the sort of dog that can be taken to public spaces, social gatherings, and on trips. Hasani certainly delivered on this. I would say that the program works for more than just dogs with problem behaviors, and is a great investment in providing the best quality of life for you and your dog. Hasani is patient, knowledgeable, and clearly brings a high level of integrity into his work.“

“There was one time that Higgins upset me but it was more my reaction than them. Other than that, they were perfect. I have lived in 8 states, even more cities, and taken my dogs to many, many vets and let me tell you, I miss Higgins more than you can imagine. If they were in Las Vegas, I would go to them for everything.“

“Wonderful place, kind staff
My dog and I just completed training.
We are now certified to do official visits.
Great people.“

“Amazing staff and super reliable care. I used them for 5 years before moving from the area. They provided great care and communication while watching my dog for daily walks and were able to accommodate last minute requests as well. Very lovely walkers who wrote the cutest reports after each walk.“

“Been taking my baby for a couple of
Months now and i feel
Extremely safe knowing his there getting take care of by these amazing people never had a problem“

“We couldn't be happier with the training our puppy received at Downtown Dogs! We are constantly getting compliments from friends and family how well trained he is, especially how easy he is to walk on a leash. The only place we take him for boarding, too. Highly recommend!“

“Western Wag is this magical place where Moon or Joshua greet you at the door and your dog plays all day and is so tired they fall asleep in the car.

Where your dog has a birthday party and makes music videos. Cannot recommend this place enough.“

“I have been going to Delta with my dog for nine years. Doctor Leslie and her staff are very cordial, professional and helpful. The level of care is consistently good.“

“We absolutely love this dog daycare! The staff is truly wonderful and consistently provides excellent care, attention, and stimulation for the dogs. My dog, Olive, has been going here for the past 4 years, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Her behavior has improved so much over time, and she’s made so many dog friends—it’s clear how positive and enriching the environment is.

One of the biggest perks is the complimentary bus transportation to and from daycare right to our house, which makes everything incredibly convenient. Olive also gets groomed here once a month, and they always do an amazing job—she comes home looking and feeling great every time.

I have complete peace of mind knowing Olive is in such caring, professional hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional dog daycare!“

“I recently took my dog, Steffy, to SBK Dog Club, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive.

The grooming itself was top-notch, Steffy came out looking clean, well-trimmed, and smelled great! I also appreciated the detailed report they gave me about her behavior and any issues they noticed during grooming.

I highly recommend SBK Dog Club to any pet owner looking for a reliable and caring grooming service. We will definitely be returning!“
