In-Home Day Training
A Chicago-based day training program where a certified trainer works with your dog in your home—then shows you how to maintain the progress.
Perfect for busy Chicago dog parents who want real results without drop-off or boarding.
Our in-home day training program in Chicago is designed for dog owners who want professional training without rearranging their entire schedule.
Instead of sending your dog away, one of our trainers comes to your home multiple times per week to work one-on-one with your dog in their real environment.
This approach helps with leash pulling, jumping, reactivity, puppy manners, and everyday behavior challenges—while making sure the skills actually translate to your daily life.
How In-Home Day Training Works in Chicago
Evaluation
We start with an evaluation to understand your dog’s behavior, routine, and goals through a 20-minute free phone consultation.
This helps us determine whether in-home day training is the best fit and identify the behaviors to prioritize.
Train in your home
Your trainer works directly with your dog during focused one-hour sessions, addressing real-life challenges like leash walking, manners, and reactivity. Being home while our trainer is there is optional, which is a great perk of this program for owners who don’t work from home.
Skill transfer
You’ll receive hands-on coaching sessions so you know exactly how to maintain and build on your dog’s training between sessions. Just like a board and train, practice between sessions and after training is done ensures consistency and keeps progress going.
