Serving Edgewater (60660)13 mi from our facility

Training in Edgewater

Edgewater is a north-side Chicago neighborhood right on the lake. Tall apartment buildings line the lakefront. Andersonville is right next door.

Most dogs here live in high-rises. Your dog rides elevators, passes through lobbies, and walks past other dogs constantly.

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.
