Found Chicago Boarding & Training Center - Chicago, Illinois

Our dog Gibson just completed the Adventure program and we are so glad we decided to have him go through the training! First of all, every staff member is amazing. I have full confidence that Gibson loved everyone he interacted with while he was at training. They are very responsive to questions, and the training videos were really helpful in understanding what he was learning week-to-week. Our in-person sessions with Anna have been amazing and have given us the tools to keep working with Gibson on our own to reinforce his learning. We love that Found provides ongoing support after the program is completed with additional training sessions and drop-in classes. We are so happy for all the progress Gibson has made so far and we're so excited to keep working with him to see what else he can learn! I'd highly recommend Found if you are looking for a training facility for your pup.

When we enrolled Lemon, our at the time 6 month old field lab, in PupStart+ at Found Training Center one of her trainers commented that she was "a lot of dog" -- a year later people often ask if she is the same dog. The staff at Found worked with Lemon and her owners (us) to understand how to channel the high drive that comes with her breed into stable behavior and "work" that Lemon enjoys just as much as napping and belly rubs. The PupStart+ program at Found is definitely not a quick hit course that teaches a dog how to sit and shake hands. It is a methodical process, that focuses on repetition and building useful behaviors over time that really stick. We now feel confident introducing our PupStart+ graduate to situations that would have had us fretting over her ability to control her exuberance not that long ago. Thanks again PupStart team!

Found is an excellent training facility. We were a bit hesitant about using an ecollar at first but after meeting with our vet and realizing that our dog was not living a peaceful life (lots of barking, leash reactivity, charging towards other humans) and after trying several other trainers, Found was able to help. Juliana was a wonderful trainer, kept us informed at all times and we could tell how much she cared for our puppy. Our dog is so so so much calmer at home and on walks and overall a much more self assured dog. He is living a much better life thanks to Found.

I cannot recommend Found Training more! Since moving to Florida it’s been tough to find a place up to their caliber, I am truly grateful for how well they cared for my dog Milo who is anxious. The patience and love they showed him made me feel very at ease leaving for vacations and that’s something I will never take for granted. 💜💜

What an amazing training facility. We had our 1 year old Rottweiler Mario come here for 3 weeks. Rafael and the crew did such an amazing job. I can't believe the difference in just 3 weeks. We just might have to bring our stubborn Bulldog here now. Lol.

This is my first experience with Found. I could not be more impressed. The staff are amazing and the care that was provided to my pup was everything that I wanted. The staff communication was clear and constant. I am definitely bring my pup back for boarding and training.

Found did an amazing job of training my French bulldog. He went from being extremely hyper and not knowing boundaries to being much calmer and more attentive. The foundation is now in place for me to easily continue the training at home. Would definitely recommend to others.

Loved the photos and videos that I got daily to give me peace of mind that my dog was happy and healthy.

I can’t believe I’m just now writing this review.

Three years ago, our dog Arthur was completely rehabilitated mentally at Found. Our trainer was fantastic. Arthur is a German Shep/Pitbull/Chihuahua mix, and had bitten three people in Chicago.
After the two week boot camp, he is such a good boy and we can take him anywhere off-leash without having to worry.

He responds properly, respects us as his alphas, and hasn’t had any aggression issues since learning the power of “place”.

Thank you so much, Found! You changed our lives with Arthur and no one can put a price tag on that.
