Individual Activities for Dogs
What is Individual Activities for Dogs?
Individual Activities for Dogs is a trainer curated service that provides custom one-on-one attention with our team of trainers and dog handlers. We design activities around each dog to provide them with plenty of individual attention and lots of exercise using elements they love and enjoy. The service is available to our guests in Dog Daycare or Dog Boarding.
We offer this extra service for any dog that can’t play safely in our general group for a variety of reasons including those dogs that have a rough play style or are reactive with other dogs and for all unaltered dogs. All dogs participating in this service should be 5 months or older.
Individual play activities include:
- Fetching with a frisbee or tennis ball or using the Go Dog Go Machine
- Treadmill exercise
- Rope toy tugging
- Agility equipment including A-frames, tunnels, and hurdles
- Work out using Fit Paws equipment
How Does Individual Activities for Dogs Help Dogs?
This focused coaching service provides all dogs a safe place to play and teaches them how to engage with other dogs in a respectful manner.
These dogs receive the needed mental and physical stimulation that helps to keep them healthy while building their social confidence.
This program redirects the enthusiasm and energy that can often be displayed in unsocial ways into a fun outlet for play and socialization.
What Makes K9U’s Individual Activities for Dog Unique?
Many dog daycare settings don’t offer individual activities options for dogs that can’t play in the established group. This is because they don’t have space or the trainers experienced in interrupting dog body language and behavior cues.
Why Only at K9U Chicago?
K9U Chicago accepts all dogs, even those dogs other facilities won’t accept into their daycare programs.
Because of this belief that all dogs deserve a safe place to play; programs like Individual Training for Dogs (or coaching) have been created to nurture dogs that just need the right environment to learn how to responsibly engage and successfully play with other dogs.
Individual Activities Pricing
This service is available with Daycare or Boarding and costs $15 per session.

Ryan Kamm
Dog Trainer
Ryan Kamm
Ryan, a native Chicagoan and dog trainer since 2012, has a passion to understand dogs with special needs and a commitment to help their families provide them with the best care and life possible.
As a trainer at K9 University Chicago Ryan focuses on rehabilitating dogs that are reactive and have specific aggressions or triggers. His work allows these dogs to become more confident and comfortable around other dogs and people.
This work is highly specialized and rewarding but also critically important in a city that has so many dogs living together in close proximity with distractions that can easily become reactivity triggers for dogs that may have been abused or not socialized.
Ryan runs our Social Rehabilitation Group for dogs that need to play away from the main daycare groups. He often brings his own dogs, all rescues; Zedah, a Dogo Argentino, Maya, an American Staffordshire Terrier, and Spyro, an American Bully, to help teach the other dogs how to successfully play and cohabitate in a group setting.
Ryan also works with clients offering Board & Train packages and private training sessions.
