Dog Training & Grooming Downers Grove - Downers Grove, Illinois

I brought my two babies, Sox & Sadie, for much-needed training because they were getting into some pretty bad fights. Well, six months later, and not one single fight has occurred since we started training. Everything else was a huge plus. They are both reactive dogs, so they pull on walks, but otherwise, the training has been a huge help and success.

Huge shout-out to Morgan. She trained Sox and Sadie every day and helped us with all our parent-teacher conferences; she has been so helpful.

Everyone who works there is so friendly and made the process so easy.

Sox and Sadie have one class left and will be graduating afterward.

I am so thankful they got our dogs to love each other and would recommend this place to anyone.

I took my puppy (Alex) to train here and it's been fantastic. Everyone's been so great, and Alex is doing loads better with listening and jumping, which is what I was looking for. Josh as his trainer (for the parent/teacher conferences) was totally awesome and fun to work with, but everyone there is great overall. They all seem to be fantastic with the dogs. Alex always comes home happy but exhausted (see pictures). Training was done from October 2024 to Jan 2025.

I also went on a trip in the middle of the training. I did home boarding and Alex went home with Braylon from Jan 2 to Jan 13, I got great updates with pictures, Alex seem to enjoy his time with him and I could stay relaxed knowing that he was well taken care of.

Definitely worth the money.

We have been brining our puppy here for the last four months and have seen noticeable improvement in his overall behavior!! He is very happy when we drop him off for training in the mornings. The staff is very friendly and always greets you and your dog by name. We had Josh as our trainer and could go on and on about how much we love him! He worked so well with our dog and has a true passion for dog training! He is so knowledgeable and has provided so much help to my husband and I as owners! It gave us so much more confidence to know that our dog was in great hands and working with someone who really loves what he does. Overall, we had a great experience with training here!

My pup, Tater Tot loves coming here for training and fun! Tater is a corgi and can be stubborn (listens when it’s convenient for him) and requires time to burn off excess energy. Dog Training & Grooming Downers Grove has significantly helped with both. Tater has been coming here for the past 3 months and I have seen a significant difference in obedience and he comes home pooped (much appreciated sometimes)! The trainers are energetic and very knowledgeable. The one-on-one sessions made me realize how important it is not only for my dog to be trained, but also me! We will continue to come here for training/daycare in the future! I’d recommend this facility to anyone and their pet.

River has been going to training and Doggie Care since January 2023. After completing her training she attends doggie care. She loves going to school. The staff is very knowledgeable and loving towards the dogs. River also gets her baths and nails trimmed with the groomers. Those are not her favorite days but thankful to the staff to get her clean and trimmed.
It’s great to have a doggie care close to home and I know that she’s taken care of when I’m at work. I love it that she can get her energy worn out at school especially in the hot summer days and cold winter days when it’s harder to take longer walks with her.

This place has been amazing to watch and see what they work on and how they work on with my little guy. When Toby first started he was a shy little nervous dog who didn’t necessarily want to be around anyone. Now it’s his favorite place to go, everyone loves to see him there and he’s much prouder and social than ever. An awesome place to go to with how well they all work together, couldn’t be happier with them!

I can’t even begin to explain the experience with them. Each and everyone of Chuck Farinella (the owner) employees are amazing. It’s been the best experience for us as a dog owner and for our dog George.
They just don’t train the dog. They train us as a dog owner!!!
