Find a Dog Trainer in Elmhurst

Justin truly is the San Diego dog whisperer.  My wife and I recently decided it was time to search for a private trainer for our 3 year old golden retriever in order to get a handle on some of his bad habits.  After looking through yelp, Justin's overwhelming reviews made him the pretty obvious choice.  We decided we might as well go with the best if we really wanted to commit to a trainer. The wait was well worth it as after just our first two hour session yesterday, the differences have been night and day. Justin's passion for dogs and helping people learn to properly communicate with their dog was immediately obvious. He truly cares about his techniques being effective long after he leaves. It was so amazing to see how well our dog would respond to us within minutes of learning Justin's exercises for communication. Our amazement only continued to grow once we went outside for leash training. Walks have always been a mix of either being pulled, or needing to pull when the brakes are put on to sniff every smell or lunge toward any passing dog. His leash skills improved quickly yesterday and to our amazement stuck overnight as I was able to easily write this review while walking him..which would have been an impossible task in the past. The exercises to maintain his training take little time at all and we are very much looking forward to having such a well-behaved, responsive dog.  We cannot thank Justin enough and would highly recommend him!

I reached out to Dyese over the summer when my pocket pitty, Tink, developed an obsession with rocks and resource guarding associated with this new obsession. I was at a loss for how to handle a behavior like this and Dyese was immediately sympathetic and jumped right in to helping us. Not only did Dyese help Tink’s perspective and reactions change, she also helped me understand how to do all of the training necessary to address an undesirable behavior like this from the ground up so I, myself, felt more comfortable and confident in my ability to handle my dog. Dyese’s relationship based approach to dog training changed the way Tink and I interact for the better and I can’t even begin to thank her enough for her dedication to the betterment of the lives of animals. Since our training, Tink has since visited Dyese for slumber pawties right in Dyese’s home for both longer and shorter stays ranging from a long weekend to over two weeks. Throughout Tink’s time with her, Dyese has diligently sent detailed updates of Tink’s day to day activities (including pool time with a life vest Dyese provided and time playing in their ball pit!), maintained consistent communication, and was very flexible in accommodating me and my pup when my flight arrived later than anticipated and we had to extend her stay. We’re so thankful to have Dyese and Unruffled Paws in our lives!

Very reliable and very accommodating. Been taking care of my7 month  American Bully since he was approx 3 months.  I'm very satisfied with the service, and this is coming from a former dog of roughly 8 years.  When I'm at work I have peace of mind concerning my pup because I know he's in good hands.Omar - Bedstuy

We took our Dog Biggie to get groomed. From the minute we left him we knew he was in great hands. Eddie was not only very courteous but very knowledgeable. Biggie looked fantastic when we picked him up. We would recommend Pawcademy to everyone for all their services.

We feel so grateful that we found Anna to be our dog trainer. She helped us implement a great routine to Peyton’s daily schedule, which helped him work toward becoming house trained. The best part about Anna was she made herself fully available between sessions. We would message her with questions and with issues about Peyton, and she was always quick to respond. Having her at our disposal on a regular basis was great, since we could continue correcting habits even when Anna wasn’t in our home. Now that we’ve finished our sessions, we will still occasionally ask questions and Anna continues to offer great advice. All in all, Anna is very passionate about her work and will help you get results for your pooch!

This was hands down the best grooming of my cats I've ever had done. My four Persian cats need grooming semi regularly. Two of the cats could be groomed by anybody, they're gentle as lambs, but 2 of my cats are so bad (kicking, scratching, biting, hissing, struggling) that multiple groomers have said they refuse to groom them after one time. So it is crucial to find a good groomer. I also wanted a groomer who would pick up and drop off my cats or do mobile grooming. With Meldrin Montano and Petness World, I got attentive, timely service, positive responses to all 4 of my cats (even the bad ones), great looking shaves, and even a cowboy themed photo shoot after! Meldrin picked up my cats promptly at 9.30am, and dropped all 4 off promptly at 1pm. This was very fast, other shavers have taken all day for only 2 of my cats. Also, Meldrin shut down the whole grooming facility for my cats so they wouldn't be stressed by dogs, which other grooming facilities haven't done. He also sent me maybe 20 videos of my cats as they were being groomed, which was so comforting, accountable, and amusing. Also the price was lower than other groomers who didn't pick up my cats! Then at the end, Meldrin sent me over 20 photos from the cowboy photo shoot he did with each cat. This was the best experience getting my cats groomed I've ever experienced! I can't wait to use Meldrin at Petness World again!!!

My gf and I were beyond stressed as we got ready to move in together. My 9yo pitbull and her 3yo bulldog could only be in the same room for a few min before losing it. In what seemed like no time, Jen had them acting like they have been together their whole lives. Maybe she did a little TOO good, cause now all you hear in my house is them playing till they are so tired that they pass out. Thank you!!!!
