Training in Chicago

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.

What protection training is

Protection training builds a dog who protects you and your family when needed. Not aggressive. Not scary. In control.

A real protection dog is friendly with your kids and calm at the park. They turn on only when you ask. Most trainers won't touch this work. Ray will.

What you get

  • A dog who is social by default, ready when needed
  • Clear cues so your dog knows the difference
  • Total off-switch so your home stays normal
  • Built on a deep obedience foundation, not just bite work

Every Dog Roar program comes with three follow-up lessons. Plus free maintenance classes for life. Backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.
