The convenient Wheaton location of the facility is great for daycare and they also allow for half-day daycare too. Very flexible scheduling. When I pick my dog up, I can tell that she's received personalized attention from the staff and that she has been well cared for. Often she's been able to work one-on-one with a staff member for nearly all of her half-day session. We also attend the group classes which are incredibly unique and let my dog build up practice interacting with other dogs in a way that reinforce new, good behaviors. My neighbors are thrilled with the progress almost as much as I am - my dog no longer automatically barks at everyone outside now and is able to make new friends. The in home training we did originally was incredibly valuable to get us started on the right foot. We need to do that again very soon! Is it the least expensive daycare and/or training in the area? No. But it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. When I leave my dog in the care of The Canine's Voice I know that she's going to be safe, loved, and will learn a few things while she's there. The classes are incredibly valuable too. The results speak for themselves.

We reached out to Kendra at Canine Peace of Mind after recognizing we had training gaps with our…read moretwo Irish Terriers (1yr & 2yr olds) that we didn't feel we could overcome on our own. We were dealing with food & high value treat /toy aggression, leash & barrier aggressions, and their coming on call (especially when chasing rabbits were more fun situations than coming to mom & dad) was unreliable at best. Enter Kendra at Canine Peace of Mind. Kendra worked with us on the best board & train program for each of them, customizing their 'stay' schedules based on progress and behavioral shifts. We sent both our dogs to CPM from Sept 2018 - Oct 2018. Kendra knows how tough it is to leave your 'kids' for that extended period of time (because she's done it too!) and made sure to send us picture and video updates on how each of them were progressing. Seeing the quick process made the distance so worth it. Fast forward to picking our pups up on handover day and the difference was remarkable. But it was on us to take those skills & discipline home with us. A couple months into having them home (Jan of this year), we recognized we still needed help (user error!) and Kendra did a house call, free of charge, to help us in reigning in & tightening up their training & our/their behaviors. What an immense help as we saw immediate change and are continuing to build that owner/dog trust together. Here's the from / to for our pups and our family: - From never being able to walk in public on a leash for fear of lashing out against another dog (even when across the street) to walking twice a day at heeling position for 2-3 miles a day, despite what we encounter. - From not having reliable recalls in the least, to trusting our dogs (and because we have grown into much more confident dog owners, trusting ourselves) to have them off leash. We love to go get the mail, take out the trash, etc. together with our dogs. - From breakfast & dinner times being HORRIBLE experiences due to fighting, low growling, & crate checking to having peaceful feeding times. - From having no control during high energy times to having a tool & command for them to go to a dedicated 'place' in any room to calm down and give each other (and us) space. I could go on. But what I would say is if you are encountering any of the above issues, please consider Canine Peace of Mind and their board & train programs. As working professionals that knew we didn't have the time or expertise to dedicate in order to get our pups where they needed to be, we are so happy we did. It has transformed the time we get to all spend together from dread to time that we look forward to because it's happy & enjoyable (which is why we all got these guys in the first place, am I right?). They also offer day care & boarding. We have taken them up on boarding a few times as we know that they get a bit more attention than any standard boarding and they are held accountable to their training just as much there as they are at home.

I signed up for a training class in December and not only did they push the date back to the middle of February with a simple "deal with it", they changed my class time to late in the evening with no alternatives. I was told "too bad we need to give your spot away" -- the woman said they'd reimburse me, so I guess we will see. I've been waiting to train my puppy, but oh well! It's not bothering them in any way. I'm very disappointed in this organization's ability to communicate with the public and strive to address the needs of their clients without throwing those who PRE-PAID off a cliff.

Just wanted to write an updated review now that I have been going to this club for the past 3…read moreyears! I really love this club, and I know my dog loves it too by the excitement she shows when we pull into the parking lot. It has really helped my dog bond with me, as we have done everything from puppy obedience, to agility, to this class called "rally" where the dog has to do more complex commands, and even therapy dog class where they can help your dog get placed into a therapy dog program if your dog is a good fit. They have it all! And it's positive reinforcement too - lots of treats and praise so it's a blast for the dog. I searched long and hard in the Chicagoland area for obedience training. We tried places in Chicago, places in the far West suburbs, but no place is as great as the Lyons Dog Training Club! The training is very organized - they have a board and a Director who oversees everything. Classes are small (limited to 12 dogs). My intro class had 2 trainers, which amounts to 1 trainer per 6 dogs. Dog must undergo certain vet tests before being admitted to the class (protects the dogs, the owners, and the young puppies), so I like that it keeps the dogs healthy. The trainers are great and very respectful of dog owners of all experience levels. They do have other activities in the Odeum sometimes (like soccer) which can be distracting, but I think that has actually helped my dog focus more and I have noticed that her behavior at home has improved ten fold! The class is so organized that the instructors will email you every week with a list of the training exercises in plain english so you can practice at home (practice makes perfect!). I LOVE this training club and will sign my dog up for as many of them as I can - even after we complete basic obedience. The price is VERY reasonable too for the quality of the training - most of the trainers have awards in dog training sports. I wish I had gone to the Club sooner for training!!! Five stars!!
