AnimalSense offers a unique and rewarding learning experience for dogs and their people in and around Chicago. Whether this is your first dog or your 15th, you and your dog will benefit from our variety of training and behavior modification services. Our instruction is specially designed to strengthen the human-animal bond while improving your dog's behavior.

We are proud to have two Certified Pet Dog Trainers (CPDT) on our staff and promise to bring you the highest quality training available. In doing so, we use your dog's instinctive abilities, personality and spirit to unleash your dog's fullest potential!

Whether you choose group obedience classes or in-home private instruction, AnimalSense tailors all training to your dog's specific needs and current ability. AnimalSense training isn't limited to your pet, we help everyone in your family interact, train and communicate better with your dog. We offer very small classes with a minumum of a 4:1 ratio of students to instructors.

At AnimalSense we use only positive methods of instruction -- fear or punishment-based training is not an option. We are well-qualified to evaluate and modify even severe canine behavioral or aggression issues.

We also offer Pre-Pet Consultations for those considering becoming new pet owners. A great many problems can be avoided by simply choosing the right pet or breed for you and your family's lifestyle.

Our goal at AnimalSense is to help pet owners cultivate and enrich the human-animal bond. So, whether you are looking to train a new puppy, or trying to correct undesirable behavior in a mature dog, AnimalSense will help you accomplish your goals.
