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.
There are now three separate training rate tables to reflect Jesse’s new rate, Elias’ rate, as well as the In-Home rate with Elias.

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!
The Video Below Shows How Effective Jesse’s Methods Are With 1 On 1 Verbal Instruction Training Sessions Held At Oz Park Or Canine Perspective’s Facility.
Follow Jesse on Instagram to see his work in action! Do the homework, get the results!

Everyone practicing their dog obedience training Down/Stay command for a photo op during group class.
Chasing after a squirrel? No problem! Your dog will respond to your command no matter the situation! I also incorporate an implied Stay command so your pooch will not leave your side to try and rejoin their friends and play after being called.
The basic obedience training program includes six private Verbal Instruction lessons over 6 weeks. Due to COVID lessons are being held at Oz Park or at our Logan Square facility.
“Jesse is the best! He has been so helpful with now two of our dogs. The first was a bulldog and he has helped so much with overall obedience and her dog aggression. I had to stop bringing her to work and couldn’t go to dog parks anymore, after a few sessions she was already so much better and can now come with me everywhere!! We also rescued a dog and he helped so much with assessing his personality and helping him settle in nicely. No matter what the issue, Jesse can help and has so much knowledge!”

This program takes your canine counterpart’s obedience training to the next level by adding duration work.
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.
