Dog-Centric Training Programs
Our Training Ethos
We believe in creating a greater bond between owners and their dogs by training a solid foundation for every day life.
Learning to properly communicate with your dog through balanced training and applying that to every day situations. Teaching not only the dog but the owner as well to lead you both up for success. Relationships are built on foundation, communication, and consistency. The same goes for you and your dog.

This allows your dog to be trained multiple times a day with a consistent and structured training schedule in a home with every day life situations. That benefit makes the transition smoother from the trainers home to yours. Owners will be updated with their dogs training progress regularly so they can prepare to maintain and continue it when their dog comes home.

Angela Kelley
Ang is here for the dogs and their humans! After graduating college with a psychology degree she moved to Chicago and never looked back. Growing up Ang has always been a dog lover so when asked on her sixteenth Birthday if she wanted a car or dog she quickly responded DOG (she did not get a dog that day). Fast forward to 15 years later and she not only got a dog but that dog is the reason Ang is living out a dream she didn’t even know was possible.

"Angela had our 22 month old lab for a two weeks at her place. She totally tamed and channeled Cali’s high Labrador energy. I’m completely shocked at how much Cali was able to learn in such a short period of time with Ang. Cali is still the same fun loving crazy family dog, but completely understands when it’s time to take a break now and listens to commands. We told Angela some of the ongoing issues we had with Cali that we could not correct on our own. She corrected them all and taught Cali a number of other new things. Highly recommended!!"
