Big City, Bigger Lives.

My experience here with Jim as been nothing but extraordinary! No comparison. I had a crazy springer spaniel trained here 6 years ago. And now came back with another puppy, a German Shepherd! When I received my springier spaniel after 2 weeks I was absolutely in shock! The change in him was indescribable. I am training my new pup to be a service dog for my elderly mother and family dog for me and my 2 boys. But overly just to be a great dog and to LISTEN when at home or out in public.  I am amazed at how much knowledge Jim has.  I am training my new pup 100% through all his guidance. I came by yesterday just to hang out and talk about what the next few weeks will look like for my 6 week old pup. Jim is funny and down to earth! Made my family feel 100% welcome! Being at his establishment is like watching an awesome animal show that you have never experienced before. My boys LOVE it!!!  I am excited to put all he has taught me into place with my new pup until he is 16 weeks and ready for his training. Again! I lovvvvvvve Chicago Canine Academy. Best money ever spent for a pet that will be with you for the rest of their life! Thanks Jim for all your hard work, dedication and the passion you bring to what you do! You are truly a dog whisperer!

My dog was out of control! I reached out to other trainers before finally coming here, this place changed and literally saved my dogs life. These ARE “dog lovers” they work with your dog, to get the results that are appropriate from your dog . They don’t settle, they make sure your dog is 100% and you get what you paid for. Jim is amazing, passionate, and dedicated to all dogs! all other trainers took my money and wasted my time only to tell me my dog had to be put to sleep(5 other trainers before I finally came here) This was a puppy I myself socialized in the park every single day from pretty much the day he could walk! I was at a loss and I wasn’t going to give up! Some working dogs have more of a WORKING instinct, my dog can care less for treats and what other trainers tried to get him to do. Without a stern attitude and a small correction my dog would have never stopped trying to bite ppls faces off. Im not talking a pit or a retriever, my dog weighs almost twice as much as me! 190 lbs of mastiff and muscle!!! Just depends on your dogs, what’s amazing training for one dog isn’t necessarily the same for another. I have another dog of the same breed who can’t take even my voice being raised in the slightest , yet alone a correction. Two totally different dogs and they require COMPLETELY different approaches.

Jim, Agus and the team are amazing, you will learn how to treat a dog with love and discipline. My dog spend two weeks with them in their boot camp, after the boot camp was done, I continued to train my dog two times per week to reinforce what my dog learned, I met more people during those training sessions, I learned to feed my dogs properly with their amazing raw food (chicken and beef) it’s the only place that I feel comfortable to leave my dog while on vacation. I love my dogs, they are my babies but at the end of the day dogs are animals that can cause harm, if you do not know how to discipline properly.

12 years ago my parents brought their first Jack Russell puppy here and had met with Jim Morgan. Jim did an amazing job at not only training their new puppy, but also teaching and training my parents. They had such a great experience, that when my husband and I adopted our puppy we could only decide to come to Chicago Canine. Bella was a six month old terrier/heelee mix who had no bite inhibition, no puppy manners, and absolutely no training. Chicago Canine in the matter of 2 weeks with their boot camp made her a proper puppy. The hard part was training and teaching my husband and I. Jim and Diane gave us all the tools and resources to make a happy, healthy and safe environment for our rambunctious pup. Every time I go I get direct responses, blunt advice, and all the support I need to maintain her training and tackle new challenges as she continues to grow and learn. Chicago Canine has done wonders for my family, and I cannot express my gratitude enough.
