Training in Des Plaines

Des Plaines is bigger than people think. It stretches from the Kennedy out past O'Hare. Lots of forest preserve.

The forest preserves pull you and your dog in from all over. Off-leash recall and calm leash work get tested every walk.

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.
