At Authority K9 Academy, our mission is clear: to strengthen the bond between dogs and their humans through education, understanding, and empathy. We understand that every dog is unique, with its own personality, needs, and challenges. We provide Board and Training (dogs stay in our home and not in a facility alone) and one-on-one lessons where we come to you!
I have been training dogs for over 32 years in which time I have trained thousands of dogs of all breeds. The primary goal is always to create and strengthen the bond between the dog and his family. Undesirable behavior in a dog is often caused by misunderstandings. My system is fast and efficient. I am a retired law enforcement K9 head trainer. Household peace is created by complete understanding and trust.

The people are Pawfect are the kindest and most pure of heart. Their love of dogs and knowledge of how to best care for them is outstanding. They were able to answer every one of my questions and the care and love they gave to my dog during training and when she was boarded was beyond expectations in every way. We are Pawfect for life and know you will be too.

Fantastic Dog Trainer!
I am a colleague of Robin and I have known her for over twenty years. I have a pet sitting service and when my clients ask me for a recommendation for a dog trainer I always gladly tell them about Robin's services. Robin is not only experienced and gentle, she is results driven and does amazing work with all breeds of dogs.
When I have the pleasure of pet sitting for her own dogs, I find them to be very well behaved and happy. It would be awesome having all the dogs I work with be this well trained!

I wish I'd wrote a review sooner because I am sure I'm forgetting good points to mention, but in a nutshell: I love Tailchasers. In late February/March, I went out of town on business for nearly 3 weeks. I contacted Tailchasers to look after my cat, Lennon, while I was away. They were very responsive and had someone out to visit Lennon and I the next day. I met with Matt who was friendly, informative, and really responsive. I told him everything I needed and he went back to the office and populated my profile on their site - that's it. I didn't have to do anything else! Jamie was the cat sitter looking after Lennon; she was great! She sent me text messages every day she visited Lennon, and even contacted me to let me know when my power went out for a few days. She was so good to Lennon, playing with him and giving him lots of love. She also left me notes of Lennon's day and time spent with her. I could really tell that Jamie cared about Lennon, not just as a client, but as a pet and a member of my family. Sadly, shortly after my trip, I moved to the city and out of the limits of Tailchasers. I highly recommend Tailchasers to everyone!

My daughter and I would highly recommend working with Mike Landry at K9 Coaching Pro. Mike has a tremendous depth of knowledge with extensive experience in a wide range of training and behavioral situations. Before a training session starts Mike will thoroughly explain the exercise and the theory behind it. During training sessions, Mike is constantly monitoring our dogs’ behavior and us the handler at the same time adjusting, pointing out key successes and ways to modify the exercise if the dog is uninterested or struggling and providing timely and positive feedback. Mike will prescribe mandatory owner/dog exercises in-between training sessions to truly setup the owner and dog for ultimate success. Mike’s passion for dogs and upbeat nature makes training sessions engaging and enjoyable. 5 Stars!

WOW! Happy Pup Manor was the best decision me and my husband made when our little labradoodle puppy Tucker came home. We were lucky enough to get introduced to Gabby and her team by a local Lincoln Park family and she responded right away.
Gabby's 10-day training was the best investment we have made for our dog and we credit his amazing behavior, loving personality and obedience to her. She treats every puppy that she takes on like her own and gives you peace of mind knowing she cares for them and teaches them with a caring, smart and effective demeanor! After the 10-day training our puppy came back so well trained and was full of tricks that we were so proud of. Almost two years later, we are constantly complimented on our dog's behavior and how well trained he is. We could not recommend Gabby & her amazing team more and hope you're able to take advantage of her incredible talent. She is the ULTIMATE dog whisperer! :)
I use a positive reinforcement method to encourage polite and obedient behaviour while preventing fear, aggression, and anxiety in your furry companion. My goal is to make sure you're equipped with the tools you need to communicate with your dog and have a strong, happy, and healthy relationship with your dog!

Yesterday was my grandson’s first birthday party. 30 people, 0 bites, and 0 lunges at people!!! Just as exciting is that our German Shephard was not stressed and miserable- his demeanor was happy, relaxed and playful. There was not barking every time a new person entered or he noticed them. It was so peaceful! People were able to approach, interact, and goof around with my daughters and grandchildren without Bo trying to kill them, as he previously has done repeatedly. We have had three events with 15-30 people in our home and yard this summer and we would not have been able to do this if we had not worked with Pack Tactics. The training we received has helped our entire family enjoy visitors without the intense fear that our Bo will bite someone. When we started in the winter with training, we were pretty devastated and thought our boy wouldn’t be able to get through this, and now we are in a good place. Lots of practice, love, and energy- thank you, Sam. Thanks for teaching us how to save our boy ❤️

I posted on bark about a recently developed issue between two of my dogs. Anthony reached out that night and set up a phone call the following morning. I had spoke with a trainer 5 minutes before my call with Anthony. Anthony listened to my issue and where I thought the issue stemmed from. He posed some really helpful questions and explained the reasons behind his questions. He offered to come out and evaluate my dogs that day. We set up an evaluation a few days later as I had to seek medical attention for my dogs. He came out and did his evaluation, he told us what he saw as the problem which backed what I thought it was. He gave us some direction on how to fix the issue and reassured us that all we had to do was reach out if we needed his assistance in the matter. I would definitely recommend Anthony and RBK Line!

Through all of the frustration and stress of our dog’s attention-seeking behaviors and separation anxiety, we were really at a loss for what to do. Finding Northshore Canine Academy was truly a blessing. Sophie listened to our concerns and was able to offer specific and detailed guidance on how to address the behavioral challenges our dog was experiencing. By following Sophie’s advice, we feel more confident and prepared to work on the necessary skills and our dog has continued to make improvements. My wife and I highly recommend Northshore Canine Academy for any dog owner needing training assistance or consultation.
My experience and knowledge sets me apart from other trainers, I have lots of experience with multiple breeds and different demographics of people. My family has been training dogs for 30+yrs and I’m keep the legacy going by bringing education engagement and results to Chicago land dog owners.
We specialize in behavior modification with a focus on anxiety, fear, reactivity, and aggression. We also offer top quality functional obedience training for the real world.
