My Dog Needs

K9U Chicago is considered an “essential business” and most of our services are available, including dog shuttle (dog -pick-up and drop-off), during the coronavirus outbreak and stay-at-home order. We have instituted some minor adjustments such as contactless checkin. Many dogs are still coming here each day – they deserve socialization and exercise, regular grooming, and positive training. According to the CDC, they cannot get the coronavirus. We have availability for daycare and boarding, and can likely accommodate your request. Anyone in emergency response, including healthcare workers, are guaranteed daycare and boarding reservations as they need. All of these groups are in need of help and we are here to help! We also provide boarding services for several area shelters that do not have the capacity to house homeless dogs waiting for adoption.

Please contact us to let us know how we can help.

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.

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 dog 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 parents 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.
