Happy One Year “Yard-a-versary “ to Chance!
Exactly one year ago , Chance bought himself a yard attached to our very first home. With mom’s help of course 😀

For those of you who this holiday is special for , we hope you find ways to celebrate with your fur baby today ! Hold them tight. Give them smooches. Be generous with their treatos. And celebrate the amazing dog mom you are to them each and every day.
We also realize today may be a tough day for some. And we want to recognize all of you who find today to be challenging. To those of you that miss your fur baby today (and every day ) , we see you. We hear you. And we are here for you. May you find comfort in remembering their silliness that brought smiles to your faces and warmth to your heart.

I’ve had a lot of conversations lately around the word “failure”. “My dog failed with the training we did last night “ “I am failing as a dog parent “ “We failed him by not starting sooner “ And the messages continued. I too often consider myself failing at things. More many people who think they know me would probably imagine. So I felt this is a good time to help others see things a little differently as I work on my own self. We are all learning. Every single day. And when you are learning. Failing is impossible. #bekindwithyourself #bepatientwithyourself #bepatientwithyourdog #foodforthought #dogquotes #quotes #anotherchancetraining #wakeuptraindogschangelivesrepeat #chicagodogtrainer #dogsofchicago #chicagodogs #lifestyletraining #positivereinforcementdogtraining #chicagodogtraining #chicagodogstagram #chicago #chicagodog #chicagopuppytraining #dogsofinstagram #dogs #dogtrainer #puppy #dogoftheday

Want your business to be the top-listed Pet Store/pet Service?
My name is Shir and I am a certified dog trainer and behaviorist with certifications in canine nutrition. My dog Chance and I met for a reason almost 4 years ago. Together we want to change lives one dog family at a time. Dog training is not about a successful sit, or a shake. Training is a lifestyle. It’s about taking cues that you and your dog learn in minutes and integrating them into behaviors that impact your every day throughout your entire lives you will share together. If the phrase, “we went to puppy class and he learned how to sit, he just doesn’t listen sometimes, he’s stubborn” sounds familiar, or “she’s usually good, she just get’s over excited sometimes”, or....... what phrase do you feel obligated to say out loud when your dog “doesn’t behave”? Your dog is behaving....he or she just doesn’t know differently.
Through positive reinforcement and taking a full circle approach that includes making changes to everyone’s environment, routines, and even nutrition, we take training to a doable and realistic level. And because we make it doable, you and your entire family will not only succeed reaching your goals, training will become part of your every day life.
Every dog and their family deserve another chance. Stop sacrificing and begin compromising. Let us transition you from dog owner to pet parent.
Looking forward to beginning your journey with you...
