ZIPs served: 60171~3 mi from office

River Grove is small and quiet. It sits along the Des Plaines River. Most blocks are single-family homes.

The river and forest preserves are right there. Your dog will pull on leash and chase squirrels unless you teach them not to.

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