Puppy Board & Train
Puppies are very cute but they have important and very specific needs. Getting your puppy socialized and used to practicing good manners is key for their growth and long-term happiness. Not to mention it will help you navigate those early months when puppies take over our whole lives! To help new puppy owners we are announcing a new exclusive Board & Train service just for Puppies!
Our puppy board & train service will be 10 days in length. This is a shorter duration than adult dog board & train options given the limited attention span and retention of puppies. This intensive program will focus on developing a strong foundation for basic obedience skills and importantly, it will help socialize puppies at an early age. This training will give them the critical skills to build confidence and will reduce the chance of your puppy becoming a reactive adult dog due to all the distractions in Chicago. K9U Chicago trainers have extensive experience working with puppies and they know the most positive and impactful ways to help your puppy learn quickly in a safe environment.
Get your puppy started on the right track and register for our Puppy Board & Train service today!

As well as her Standard Poodle, Rafiki, and her Sheltie, Bella, who is a NADAC Champion. Rafiki is also a working Medical Alert Dog and training for Water Fowl retrieval in her spare time.
At K9U Chicago Grace will teach all levels of Agility Training from puppies to competition and will be teaching group obedience training classes. Grace uses only positive training methods and believes in having fun while learning new skills that enhance the bond between dogs and their owners.

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.
