In addition to the great training, Nick, Lauren and Sarah were so helpful with any questions or problems we were having with our puppy. AND it’s obvious how much they LOVE dogs. Tango is a different dog from when we started. We highly recommend ❤️

Nick and Lauren are the best dog trainers around. They truly care for your dog as if it were a part of their family. Can’t say enough about their business.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Chicagoland Dog Training! From the very beginning, Nick, Lauren and their staff were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping our new puppy, Lily, get the best start possible. The training was clear, effective, and tailored to Lily's personality, which made a huge difference. We've seen so much progress in her confidence, behavior, and overall happiness- and ours too. We're so grateful for the guidance and support and would highly recommend Chicagoland Dog Training to anyone looking to set their puppy up for success.

Lollie went to training camp at Chicagoland dog training- she did great and came home a well-mannered young lady. Now it’s up to us to keep it up. Thanks Nick and Lauren and staff!

I can’t say enough amazing things about our experience! We sent our three Boston Terriers for the 14-day training program, and the results were beyond anything we imagined. Before training, we struggled with obedience and pulling on walks — now, they listen, respond to commands, and walk calmly like little professionals. The transformation has been truly life-changing for both our dogs and our family.

The staff was absolutely incredible from start to finish. They treated our pups like their own, kept us updated with progress, and were always patient and encouraging. You can tell how passionate they are about what they do — their love for dogs shines through in every interaction.

We’ve done other training before, but nothing compares to the level of care, communication, and results we experienced here. If you’re considering training, don’t hesitate — this team is the best of the best! Our Bostons came home happier, more confident, and better behaved than ever. We’re so grateful for the difference they made!

Chicagoland Dog training is the best around. Lauren and Nick are the kindest owners and they have a great staff as well. Koda always comes home healthy and eats well while he is there. You won’t be disappointed after you meet the team.

Very friendly, open and professional. They did wonderful training with our 5 month old Golden Retriever. Highly recommend. Thank you so much Nick, Lauren and staff for taking such good care of our new baby.

Thank you, Lauren, Nick, and Team!

We had a wonderful experience with ChicagoLand Dog Training in McHenry, IL! They worked with both of our pups and did an incredible job. Throughout the training process, our dogs learned a wide range of basic obedience commands and began building confidence and independence.

The team was knowledgeable, patient, and always available to answer any questions we had along the way. They also gave us the tools and guidance we needed as puppy parents, which made a huge difference in how we approached training at home.

It was truly a positive experience from start to finish. We highly recommend ChicagoLand Dog Training to anyone looking for professional, effective, and compassionate training for their dogs! Our two pups will also be taking advantage of the Stay and Refresh (Boarding) when they are unable to travel with us!

Nick and Lauren are simply the best! We brought Nova in because she needed help building confidence to become less reactive. They took extra time with us, worked patiently, and gave us the tools we needed to see real progress. Nova is already so much calmer and more comfortable in situations that used to instantly overwhelm her.

We also had Kona come in for a brush-up, and she came out much more dialed in on her commands. It was amazing to see how quickly both dogs responded to the clear, consistent training that Nick and Lauren use.

What really stands out is how much they care—not just about the dogs, but about making sure we as owners know how to continue the training at home. We left every session feeling supported and confident.

I can’t recommend Chicagoland Dog Training enough. If you want trainers who go above and beyond for both you and your dogs, Nick and Lauren are the go-to team!

We had an amazing experience with Nick and Lauren!
Our new puppy completed puppy preschool as well as a 14-day stay and train program and the results have been exceptional.
Nick and Lauren were so caring, professional, and loving towards our pup. Every member of their staff was nothing but friendly and knowledgeable. During the stay and train, we were kept up to date on our dog’s progress and received pictures and videos as well!
Upon completing the stay and train program, our dog came home happy, confident, and so well-behaved.
I will recommend Nick and Lauren to friends and family time and time again!
