The sign says "do not knock and do not open gate text us when you have arrived" we text them and stand outside waiting for a good while, when we are finally greeted by her teenage son who had previously been otherwise occupied playing Fortnite. He tells us to go through the gate. We get into the shed and multiple of the dogs seem extremely stressed. The trainer does not acknowledge my dog for a while until telling us that he was "not ready" because he is wearing a harness which is safer for the breed as English bulldogs have breathing difficulties rather than a choke collar and that we would have to stand there and wait until the end of the class for instruction. Just pure ignorance. During this time my dog was put under stress and our money was wasted. Not to mention she even refused my puppy water when he was hyperventilating from the stress of the environment.

We emailed Aimee explaining the puppy issues we wanted to work on prior to registering for the…read moreclass. We wanted to be sure that this puppy class would be a good fit for our Boxer pup. Aimee recommended that we enroll our puppy in the Puppy 201 class, $250. I thought that was pretty steep, but I read Aimee's accreditations and trusted that our Coco would be with a premier trainer. After about 30 min of the first class, Aimee requested that our puppy be put in the car for the remainder of class time. At the end of class, Aimee informed my 18 year old daughter that this class wouldn't be suitable for Coco, and that we should consider in-home training, which would "only be $30 more" on top of the $250 that we had already paid, and that is only for one in-home session. She also gave another option: that my daughter attend the training classes WITHOUT our puppy, so She can learn training techniques. Why would I pay $250 for my human daughter to take a puppy class? The point of puppy obedience class is for the puppy to learn. I emailed Aimee to let her know that we would not be interested in either of those options, and politely requested a refund. It is now March 9th, 5 emails, one voicemail later, and Aimee has yet to offer a refund or resolution. Her FB website and official website all boasts that "we do our best to answer email within 24-48 business hours"- absolutely not true! So disappointing that a so-called reputable dog trainer would have shady business practices. Very unprofessional!

Aimee is hands down the best trainer around. How anyone else can say she runs a "shady" business is…read morebeyond me! She came to my house when our Corgi pup, who had a collapsed lung, kennel cough, and pneumonia, was unable to attend class with other pups. Little Bella learned so much and she even let our 10 year old Ridgeback get in on the action! Sadly, Bella passed away after a life saving surgery went wrong. We have since gotten two more Corgi pups and have taken all of her classes, as well as, her coming to the house. Humans need to be trained just as much as the dogs do. If a human doesn't listen, the dog sure as hell isn't going to either. Aimee's techniques are effective and kind to you and your pup. She works with dogs that have issues and is able to correct them. She's amazing, kind, and HONEST. I have recommended her to numerous family and friends, all of which have had positive results!

Please DO NOT send your dog here! We had a life altering experience with Canine Obedience College…read morethat nearly cost us our young puppy's life and severely damaged us both emotionally and financially. Our healthy 7 month old golden retriever puppy, Oliver, was dropped off on the night of Friday, August 13th for their 2 week "bootcamp" program to attempt to correct his typical puppy tendencies. By Monday August 16th, just 3 days later, Oliver was rushed to the dog 24/7 emergency veterinary by Canine Obedience College where Oliver was fighting for his life. Oliver ended up staying at the 24/7 emergency vet for 8 days and was treated for heat stroke which developed under the care of Canine Obedience College. Months later Canine Obedience College has taken no responsibility for the incident described below and has simply stopped communicating with us after attempts to come to an agreeable conclusion to the incident.We cannot express more emphatically how disappointed we are in Darryl, Lisa, and Canine Obedience College as a whole for what they have put us through and the financial damage they have caused us. Please do not put your dog at risk by entrusting their well being in the care of Canine Obedience College. Upon being notified by Canine that Oliver was rushed to the emergency vet we scrambled to get there as soon as possible that night. We were absolutely devastated and shocked when they brought Oliver into the room to see us on a stretcher, unable to move or lift his head, and barely able to open his eyes. Oliver arrived at Premier soaking wet, latterly recumbent (unable to move), non responsive, with skin lesions, critical dehydration, and severe hyperthermia (dangerously overheated body). During Oliver's roughly 72 hour stay at Canine boot camp the only communication we received prior to the night Oliver was hospitalized was "Did good." and "He is a cutie! Seems a little nervous right now. Drinking a lot of water." after asking twice how Olver was doing. What they neglected to tell us was that Oliver did not eat the entire time he was there (except a few treats) and that he had been vomiting since the second day in their care. Not only did they not disclose the events leading up to Oliver's near death to us, but they did not follow up on Oliver's status after the first couple of days or if Oliver ever made it home from the hospital. Oliver was treated at Premier Veterinary Orland Park with every possible solution and treatment they could provide until Wednesday August 18th, when the medical team recommended Oliver be transferred to MedVet Chicago. MedVet is like the Northwestern of animal hospitals, at MedVet Oliver had the best possible treatments he could receive. He had been seen by every specialist in the building, tested for every possible underlying cause (all negative), and received around the clock care. Oliver had his ups and downs at MedVet, but he began to attempt to eat and drink a little bit by his 3rd or 4th day onsite. From there he slowly began to be able to sit up, stand, and even walk with all vitals improving. By Tuesday August 24th, 8 days after first arriving at Premier emergency vet, Oliver was discharged to home care on 8 different oral medications, 2 ointments, and a couple of IV bags if needed. Needless to say it was a long couple of weeks of at home recovery. Oliver was diagnosed and treated for suspect heat stroke causing multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. After all of these events unfolded and Oliver was home on a track to full recovery, we sent an email of the entire situation to Canine and asked for compensation for Oliver's medical care. They ignored emails until days or weeks later and multiple texts/emails were sent asking for a response. They finally responded asking for more info from the vets and we provided them with all of the reports, diagnostics, and invoices. They then referred us to their insurance company (tacit admission of guilt), who denied their claim as they did not have insurance coverage for this. They then immediately said it was not their fault and would not compensate us in any way. To this day, Canine Obedience College has not responded to our multiple letters sent over a month ago, emails, phone calls, or texts. While legal action has been contemplated, we are a young couple trying to save up for our first home and cannot afford the risk of potentially losing even more money. We cannot express more emphatically how disappointed we are in Darryl, Lisa, and Canine Obedience College as a whole for what they put Oliver through and for the financial damage they have caused us. Please do not put your dog at risk by entrusting their well being in the care of Canine Obedience College and please feel free to share Oliver's story so we can help prevent this from happening to other dogs going forward
