Chicago Dog Trainer is owned and operated by Marc Goldberg, a professional dog trainer in Chicago and published co-author of worldwide dog training books along with the Monks of New Skete, including The Art of Training Your Dog, Let Dogs Be Dogs, and the Joy of Playing with Your Dog. Chicago Dog Trainer is the home of Marc's in-person Suburban training facility, located near Chicago right off I-90. Marc Goldberg and his team provide in-depth dog training, focused on teaching your dog to be an amazing family member that can:

✅ Come when Called Each and Every Time

✅ Walk Nicely on a Loose Leash (Without Pulling!)

✅ Sit, Stay, and Play on Command.

✅ Behaves Well, Listens to You

✅ Remains Happy, Playful, and Loving

Dog training doesn't have to be about clickers and tricks. It can be so much more. It can be about you allowing your dog to be a dog, while also teaching them how to thrive in your family's dynamic. If you are anywhere close to the Chicago area, including Elgin, Naperville, Highland Park, or any of the surrounding suburbs, call Marc and his team for dog training in Chicago provided by someone with specific, published expertise.

For those that would like to learn from Marc from anywhere in the world, Marc has been able to move his Pack Leader Program (and most of his dog training services) online, available via Zoom or other digital video software. Marc Goldberg and his team can also help you with the techniques and tricks in his books, or support you in your own training efforts.

Stressed and Angry at Your Dog? Is Your Dog Anxious, Aggressive, or Doesn't Know How to Be a Well Behaved Family Member?

It Takes Only Two Weeks to Have Your Ideal Pet… And a Happier Dog!
Marc's Father Barney, Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan and trainer Marc Goldberg, CDT

Chicago Dog Trainer offers both private dog training and a doggy bootcamp. You send a dog away for training with us at our Little Dog Farm. We take care of them for one, two, or three fun weeks with activity filled days, and then get your dog back well trained and ready to be happier and better behaved - giving you total control of your dog both on and off leash.

The ForceFree Method™ is an intuitive system of dog training that makes sense to both people and dogs. Effective and gentle, the training method works WITH the dogs' instincts rather than against them.

We achieve off leash reliability, even with distractions, amazingly fast. Most dogs perceive the training as simple "pack cooperation" and play. Therefore, they quickly shed rebellious behavior, and give you more focus than you imagined possible. Doesn't that sound like more fun than correction after correction?

Have other dog training methods failed or your dog, or you're ready to see some real behavioral change? Call us today!

 

Happy Clients
Even veterinarians bring their dogs to us!
Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is simple. Improve the life of both dog and family. All too often, unruly dogs do not fully enjoy life because their families constantly become upset and frustrated with them. This is difficult for both family and dog. Our mission is simple. Make both dog and family happy.

What does is take to make your dog happy? He will thrive when you give him leadership and attention. Learn more by contacting our Chicago dog training team.
