Dog Boarding and Training Lincoln Park

Known for its quiet, green lake, the Lincoln Park Zoo, and the Chicago History Museum, Lincoln Park is one of Chicago’s most beautiful and busy neighborhoods. Precisely why it’s so important to ensure your pooch is well trained and good with other people and dogs. Of course, it’s sometimes difficult to make it to regular dog training, which is why K9 University offers dog boarding and training in Lincoln Park for your convenience.

Dog Boarding and Training

Sending your pooch on an all-in-one dog boot camp is a quick and effective way for him/her to learn basic obedience and life skills. Our K9 boot camp is designed to tackle more complex behavioral issues such as aggression or anxiety. Best of all? It requires almost no time or effort from you!

We have several other training classes available too depending on your dog’s age or ability:

1. Puppy Training – Best for pups 10 weeks to 5 months old. The puppy classes teach basic obedience, manners and socialization – think of it as puppy boot camp!
2. Basic Obedience Training – Covering skills such as sit, down, stand, stay, come, watch, touch and leave it to how to walk on a leash and more, this class covers all the basics of obedience.
3. Agility Training – Agility classes develop your dog’s confidence while teaching teamwork, discipline, and communication between you and your dog.
4. Nose Work – Develop your dog’s amazing sense of smell and natural desire to hunt with this fun sport.
5. Private Lessons while Boarding – As much as we encourage all dogs to socialize, some dogs do better in a one-on-one lesson with less distraction.

Other services offered:

3. My dog has never been away from me; will he be able to cope?

4. What age should a puppy be to attend the puppy boot camp?
   Puppies can attend boot camp from the age of 10 weeks old. They must have had their second set of vaccinations before they come to stay with us.

5. What does my dog’s day look like when he comes for boot camp?
   Training is dependent on the age and ability of each dog.

Training includes riding in a car, visiting pet friendly areas and socializing, both with people and other dogs.
