How much does professional training cost?

A Closer Bond is dedicated to helping all owners develop a more rewarding relationship with their pet, and has a program to meet any budget.  You may be surprised to find professional training not as expensive as you thought.  Although it may cost more, the lasting effectiveness and advantages of professional training are worth the additional investment. 

Your dog depends on you for all his/her needs, including the best education possible!!  Depending on your dog and your concerns, you may not need a comprehensive program but only one or two counseling sessions which start at $75.00.  Obedience training packages of four lessons start at $395 and go to several hundred dollars for more advanced programs of off leash training - a reasonable investment for the many years you and your dog will enjoy together!!!

Will my dog really learn to be obedient?

  Your dog is looking to you for guidance and leadership!!  If you don't provide these two positions for your pet, your pet will try to guide you and teach you what to do!!  Not only that but our training is guaranteed because we take into account your dog's unique personality and your  unique goals. We know your dog can learn commands when the correct approach is used for your dog's personality.   Evaluations help us determine the best approach for you and your dog, and determines which program's most effective.  Come in and see what we can offer you and your dog!!  Call us at 847-358-7312 today!

Will my dog listen to me after a residency program?

YES!!  We focus on the big picture - everyday commands for real life situations including training at home.  Once we train a dog to obey commands, they never forget what they mean.  Our extensive and thorough follow up lessons give you the necessary skills and understanding of how to handle your trained dog anywhere you go.  We are also available to answer your questions whenever you need help!

Do you sell trained dogs?

Yes!!  We take great pride in our K9 Connections program which takes in qualified dogs in need of good homes.  Dogs are trained based on their personality and given any necessary medical attention.  Please call for more information.
