Chicago is a big city with big-city dogs. From downtown high-rises to neighborhood two-flats, every block has dogs in it.

Your city dog sees more in a day than most suburb dogs see in a week. Calm leash manners and a solid recall keep you both safe.

Dog Roar is based at 9960 Pacific Avenue, Franklin Park, IL 60131. We serve owners across Chicago and the surrounding suburbs from this facility. Every program is run personally by Ray Bhimani, no rotation through a roster of trainers.
