Dog trainers in Chicago

An exclusive family, among the finest dog trainers in the United States...

Marc Goldberg, CDT

The Chicagoland Boarding School is comprised of a small and very select group of professional dog trainers. Marc Goldberg is proud to have the finest colleagues in the nation. Each trainer has a great deal of experience training and loving dogs. And each specializes in a slightly different aspect of dog behavior. This allows us to help you suggest the best trainer for your dog.

In each case, you personally select your trainer and bond with that individual. Your dog lives with your trainer and the program is identical with each professional. We'll suggest the best person for your pet, whether it be Marc Goldberg, or one of his incredible colleagues. Then you get to make the decision!

Remember, it's guaranteed!

Mary Mazzeri and friends

Mary Mazzeri has trained dogs for over 30 years. She has won countless awards with her dogs but more importantly, she has helped thousands of students achieve their goals with their dogs. Mary is a Certified Professional Trainer through the International Association of Canine Professionals. She is endorsed by the National Association of Dog Obedience Instructors. Mary's love of dogs and her compassion for their owners is evidenced in the accolades of her students. Her dogs have appeared in commercials and Mary has also trained Service Dogs for physically challenged clients.

"Mary's training was very enjoyable. This is a very realistic approach to training. My dog was nine months old when we started training. He is energetic and playful but follows commands very well now. I think my dog likes learning new commands that help him understand how to be a part of the family.
I have completed training with other individuals and have to say Mary is by far the most professional, enjoyable, and knowledgeable obedience trainer in the area. Todd Neumann, Gilberts, IL”

Nadine, I just wanted to let you know that Lucy is doing great! She is still wonderful with the potty - she is pretty much 100% on target. I hope all is well with you. Thanks again for getting Lucy off to such a great start! I believe it has really made all the difference with her.

Hugs, and kisses from Lucy,
