All programs are tailored to your needs. The descriptions are to give you an idea of what can be accomplished and in what time frame. In-person lessons are now held at Oz Park (the busiest park in Chicago) for real results in a real environment or at our facility (don’t worry, our training carries over in all environments). All consultations, training sessions, and Zooms are also filmed and uploaded to our YouTube for reference.

Canine Perspective’s basic dog obedience training covers the two absolutely essential commands: Heel and Come.
Heel teaches your dog to follow your moves and your direction – not the other way around! If you take one step, your dog takes one step. If you take three steps, your dog takes three steps. This level of focus is required out in the real world in our busy Chicago streets. Not to forget, your dog will automatically sit when you stop. All this is done in complete silence and without the need for treats, so there’s no need in carrying around food in your pockets anymore.
Come is the most important dog obedience command for your dog to know. Why? Because it can save your dog’s life! Running toward the street? No problem! Calling your dog away from his/her friends at the dog park? No problem!

Want to take your dog out to a restaurant with a patio, but don’t like having to keep pulling them back to your side? Have you ever run into a friend of yours in the street and stopped to have a conversation, only to have your dog randomly pull you in order to greet another dog?
Addressing those issues is no problem in the intermediate obedience training program, where we incorporate a Sit/Stay command and a Down/Stay command so that you can go to a patio for hours.
Once they’ve mastered those commands, your dog won’t move.
The advanced obedience training program includes nine private Verbal Instruction lessons over 9 weeks.
Do you want total and complete control over your dog in any situation?
Then this is the training package for you. It covers the Heel, Come, Sit, Stay and Place commands. This program will make your dog obedient both on- and off-leash, no matter the environment, and no matter the distractions!
The off-leash obedience training program includes twelve private Verbal Instruction lessons over 12 weeks.

We can’t recommend Canine Perspective enough. Jesse and his team are skilled, professional handlers who prioritize safety while working with each dog’s unique needs.
Our reactive Pitbull has grown more confident, social, and happy since starting the program. The structured, calm environment makes all the difference.

I’ve been with Canine Perspective since 2022, and the results with my reactive rescue dog, Cass, have been incredible. Jesse and the team provide the structure and exercise he needs, and I never imagined he’d be able to play alongside other dogs.
Cass loves daycare, and we fully trust the team for both daycare and boarding. They truly care, and it shows.

We use Canine Perspective for training, daycare, and boarding, and the results have been amazing. They helped us confidently use the e-collar and transformed our dog’s behavior—he now goes to his bed at dinner without being told.
We love the structured environment and consistent rules, plus the daycare pickups are a huge help.

Thank you for always taking such great care of Lenny! Having a reactive dog can be hard, but knowing he is at a structured daycare that works with him and his needs eases my anxiety when traveling!
