What We Offer

Experienced Team

We not only love dogs, we understand them.

Experienced TeamOur team is comprised of dog handlers, trainers, kennel attendants, and customer service members. Everyone has been trained to understand what matters most is ensuring safety and providing excellent care to each dog. We cross-train dog handlers to identify and interpret dog body language and behavioral cues.

Confident Decision

We know how to make each dog feel like K9U Chicago is their home away from home.

Confident DecisionPlacing your dog in the care of others is an important decision. It can also be a stressful choice. You can rest easy by choosing us because we have been serving Chicago dogs and their families since 1992. We spend time with each dog to get to know their individual play style and the other dogs they like to be around.

Safety First

We think of the dogs in our care as family and we keep our family safe.

Safety FirstSafety is our priority. It informs everything we do. Our facility is specially designed to ensure both dogs and people have a safe, clean and fun experience. Our facility is monitored by staff 24/7 and is climate controlled to provide safety and comfort no matter the weather.

All Dogs Welcome

We believe all dogs deserve to have a place that offers them exercise, attention, and support.

All Dogs WelcomeWe are the only daycare facility in Chicago that accepts ALL dogs. Regardless of their breed or temperament. We have designed our facility to accommodate the special needs of each dog in our care. This includes dogs that don't play well with others and dogs that may have specific health requirements.

A place of fun where dogs and owners bond!

Why Our Clients Love Us

K9 University is great. We’ve been going there for 7 and a half years. We’ve done training, we’ve done agility, we’ve done boarding and we’ve done daycare. The only thing we haven’t done is a drop off and pick up. My dog is kind of a nut and they deal with her well. Debbie W.

I was referred by a previous customer. I had never used a daycare before and my experience has been wonderful since day ONE! The staff is friendly, welcoming and attentive to my dog (and me…LOL)…She loves going there.Tracee A.

My dog has experienced everything at K9U: daycare, classes and boarding. When he is either picked up by the K9U van or dropped off his tail is wagging like crazy. When I pick him up he is happy to see me, goes outside to relieve himself and then pulls to go back in.Jane F.

I’ve been a customer for 15 years and counting. K9 helped us raise our puppies and cherish our old girls. I can think of no other place I would trust more with my furry family.Jonathan A.

This is really awesome doggo place. We had a basic obedience training here, and our dog is changed! She listens now, and behaving well, our trainer is really good - she is like a dog whisperer. Love and recommend this place for all dog's parent out there.Yessie S.

K9U is great. They offer classes as well as day camp /sitting services. The size of the location is pretty impressive, as they have a large indoor and outdoor areas for dogs to play. (They even pick up and drop off your dog.). The staff and trainers are very friendly and extremely effective.James J.
