Chicago Dog Trainer | Marc Goldberg and the ForceFree Method

It is one thing to train your dog. It is another to teach your dog in a way that is lasting, effective and filled with love. For years, Marc Goldberg and his partner have provided Chicago dog training services for families that want to train their pet in a way that is gentle, calming, and effective.

About Our Chicago Dog Training

Most dog training is not about the dog. It’s about you. Dogs listen to the person that trains them, which is why when you’re looking for a dog trainer in Chicago, you are really looking for a class that teaches you and your pet the skills they need to thrive in a household setting.

With many of our dog training programs, we meet with you, your dog, and any other willing family members in the household to train you on the ForceFree technique. This dog training program requires no force and no bribing with treats. It is a special training strategy that is meant to train with compassion and one that you and your pet will both love.

Our programs help you with all common behavioral issues:

Pulling
Jumping
Chewing
Barking
Housebreaking

We can also give you techniques and advice to help your puppy become a well-behaved member of the household, and these techniques work with all ages and all breeds.

We also have what’s known as “Boarding School” programs for dogs that are struggling with aggression, anxiety, or excessive barking. These boarding school programs take place at our location, where we help train your dog out of some of the more problematic behaviors and then, on the last day, show you how you can take those techniques home with you.

Our Philosophy & Goals

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.

Making the family happy is a bit more complex.

Families typically want their dog to:

Come when called, every time, on or off leash
Walk nicely on a loose leash without pulling
Sit until released
Down until released

Families also want their dogs:

Not to jump on people
Not to charge through doors
Not to dig in the garden
Not to bark and chew inappropriately
Not to climb on furniture you prefer they avoid
Not to sniff and eat off the table and counters.
Not to be wild and uncontrollable
Not to ignore you when you want their attention
