Kindred K9 Dog Training Services

Start Right. Build For Life.

Start training your puppy early with our expert trainers. We provide personalized training plans to ensure your puppy grows into a well-behaved dog.

From the beginning, basics like Puppy Biting & Potty Training will help you to get a further understanding of how to raise your puppy and set them up for future success.

This is an American Kennel Club (AKC) credited course where puppies learn the basics such as Come, Heel, Sit, Place, Off/Out/Quiet.

We teach our clients to properly redirect their puppuse out of control energy and put it into something productive for you and your newest family member.

Our AKC certified trainers will go over with you to help you have a deeper understanding of each individual puppy and their specific goals & temperament to customize a training plan that will maximize your Chicago dog training.

Truly learn how to communicate with the newest member of your family as early as you get them!

The first months shape everything. Our Puppy Foundation program establishes essential commands, socialization skills, and the trust that makes training last. Your puppy learns to listen — and you learn how to lead.

• Sit, Come, Heel, Place, Off, Out and Quiet
• Leash manners from day one
• Socialization with people and dogs

Make a difference in someone's life by training your dog to become a therapy dog. Our trainers can help you and your dog become certified and start making visits to hospitals, nursing homes, and more.

At Kindred K9 Dog Training Chicago, our American Kennel Club (AKC) certified trainers work with you to train your dog in everything needed to become a certified Therapy Dog. We start with the basics and also put attention on the handler so that you can confidently bring your dog to a children’s hospital or a nursing home.
