My name is Pete and have been training dogs in the Western Suburbs for over 13 years. Besides puppy training, and training dogs in basic and advanced obedience skills, I specialize in working with dogs who are fearful and shy to fearful dogs that have reactive behaviors because they are afraid. I also specialize in working with dogs who have aggressive tendencies such as leash aggression, people aggression, dog aggression, barking, lunging and more.  Whether it is in your home or outside the home I feel the most joy in having a dog is when your dog is well mannered and well behaved. At that point you are free to take your dog along into the world and experience life together outside the home as well as inside.

My experience tells me adequate training cannot just happen in a classroom or at a "Board and Train" .  My training consists of a "Hands On"/One on One"  approach.  I work with you on every command and issue that with make your dog a well mannered and enjoyable pup.  If you watch the videos below all the results are without the use of treats, E-Collar or prong-collar.  Training happens in a variety of locations.  Out and about in your neighborhood, in your home as well as any place that will give your dog exposure to "Real World" distractions.  This includes training at places like Home Depot, Yorktown Mall, AT Home, Naperville Riverwalk or any other place that is dog friendly.  If it is basic obedience we are working on, any place where there are lots of distractions only add to your dog's level of obedience.  As an example,  if your dog exhibits "Dog Leash" reactivity, this also cannot be solved in a classroom setting or by passing 1 dog a day or a couple of dogs a week while walking in your neighborhood.  This requires exposure to multiple dogs at one time which is why I utilize trails around dog parks where without going in the park we may encounter and pass 10 or 15 dogs in any given hour.  We utilize this kind of exposure to help correct reactivity in your dog.  In other words I work to use every possible venue to help your dog become the best behaved and trained dog you can possibly have.

There will come a time when you will hear these words.  

"I wish my dog was as well trained as yours"...
