Healthy Dog Chicago

If you're ever in the market for a trusted, highly experienced and extraordinarily communicative doggy daycare and training service for your furry friend, i would not hesitate to use Healthy Dog Chicago. We've been using their services for weekly doggy daycare for the better part of a year now and I can speak for most when I say that they set a very high standard for quality care and effective training for any dog owner looking for a trusted resource. And not to mentioned, they are the kindest and friendliest doggy daycare providers we've encountered.

Wendy is absolutely amazing! She takes phenomenal care of our pup, Tucker. When we first got him, Wendy helped us with training that made a world of difference. Now Tucker attends her daycare, and we fully trust her with him. She is so kind, knowledgeable, and truly wonderful to our dog.

We have a new place in the city that we're spending more time in and with all of the dog trainers in Ukrainian Village, I was so happy to find the right fit with Healthy Dog Chicago! Wendy was so knowledgeable and patient giving easy to follow instruction to help with puppy training efficiently. His recall is so much better and no more leash reactivity. He attends their doggy daycare and loves going on field trips and play times with his new pals. His socialization skills and confidence have improved noticeably because of the small group of dogs in the daycare. I really like that training reinforcement is a part of the program as well. If you're looking for more one-on-one dog daycare experience that is trainer led, this is the spot!

Wendy took care of my dogs for 14 years where she trained, handled day care and house sat. My dogs loved the field trips and one on one attention they were given because of the small group of dogs. My dogs were treated as if they were their own and I had complete trust they were safe, clean and loved. If you are looking for an alternative to large, chaotic and unsafe daycares this is it. If you are looking for private training that is tailored to your lifestyle and your dog’s abilities this is it. I couldn't speak more highly for Wendy and completely endorse Healthy Dog Chicago!

Where to even begin?! I adopted a beagle mix puppy 1.5 years ago. Well, She is FULL of energy! After bringing her home, I immediately knew I needed a professional trainer to help train Lottie. After extensive research, We found Wendy! Not only does she train, but also offers daycare which includes pick up and drop off! So helpful for a single-working dog mom! This is not your normal daycare. She limits it to a small group of dogs so all the dogs are getting undivided attention! Our experience working with Wendy has been nothing short of wonderful. She has helped train and calm our rambunctious pup! She is really helpful for leash training, social behavior and of course, all of your basic commands. Our pup goes to day care with her 3x a week and it is so helpful as lottie can get her energy out, all while still getting trained. Not too sure where we’d be without Wendy! She is now one of our dog’s best friends and we are so grateful for all Of her hard work! Highly recommend!

When we moved from a huge yard in the suburbs back to the city, we knew it would take our 10 year old dog some getting used to. Sage went from hardly ever having been walked on a leash to living in a busy urban area and we needed help managing this transition. Not to mention he’s a stubborn, 100 lb dog with dog reactivity. We have worked with several trainers in the past, and by far Wendy was the most effective for many reasons. First of all, Wendy truly loves dogs and understands dog behavior. Second she will give it to you straight! She is always direct in her communication and expectations in a way that encourages results. Third, she held us accountable and to a high standard so we could make real progress against our goals. Sage has his quirks but I am amazed every day by how far he has come. After working with Wendy we both truly have the tools for a healthy, happy relationship and we are so grateful!

Healthy Dog Chicago is my first choice for clients who want the very best personalized one on one care for their dog. Wendy provides individual attention and addresses your dog’s specific needs, whether they are attending daycare or in training. She has decades of experience working with and training dogs.
