My rescue dog couldn’t be boarded or handled by anyone without showing signs of aggression and fear. Ari and his team (shout out to Brooke) worked so hard and lovingly to help. The board and train program changed our lives and has helped my dog be his best self. These guys are absolute pros, you can trust them to take great care of your dog with a straightforward approach that has legitimate results.

Downtown Dogs Chicago has changed our and our dog’s life forever. They are worth every penny and more ! Our bulldog was reactive to other dogs and had fear aggression. We did private behavioral classes with A trainer at another facility and group ones which did not correct any of the issues. He was kicked out of day care and we were sad and desperate. A friend recommended Downtown Dogs and our lives turned for the better. Henry went through the training and the dog we got back was A completely different animal. 2 years later we still go to group classes once in A while and have kept up with everything we were taught. Thank you to all the trainers , Ari and Aliya

Downtown Dogs has seriously changed our lives and our Mini Aussie Louie's life for the better. Before training, Louie was very leash reactive/ aggressive towards other people and dogs. Going for walks used to be very anxiety-provoking for us, especially living in a pet-friendly condo building with dogs everywhere! It got to the point where he started reacting and biting us during our walks and that's when we knew he needed intensive training. We scheduled a consultation and were immediately impressed by knowledge and passion that Ari had for training. We felt confident that Downtown Dogs' team of trainers would help Louie build confidence and solidify foundational obedience skills for him to thrive in all settings. Having Louie attend the 3 week Board & Train program was the best decision we ever made. Louie was paired with Brooke, who is an INCREDIBLE trainer! She is patient, yet firm and has given us all the tools we need to be a successful team! Louie is still just as goofy and loving, but obedient and we no longer walk him in fear! We cannot thank Brooke and the staff at Downtown Dogs enough for the positive impact they have made on our lives. 1,000% recommend Downtown Dogs- they are worth the investment!

We couldn't be happier with the training our puppy received at Downtown Dogs! We are constantly getting compliments from friends and family how well trained he is, especially how easy he is to walk on a leash. The only place we take him for boarding, too. Highly recommend!
