I left my pets here expecting great care per reviews but was very disappointed…read more I received a call that my one pet would not put weight on his hind leg the night before I was to pick them up. It was the same the next morning, so I took him to emergency care since my vet didn't have any open appointments. I noticed he had several burrs, the painful kind in his tail and fur. The vet found burrs in his ears and after Knocking him out and X-rays we were told nothing was wrong that they could see except a little swelling in his hindquarters. The next day he was back to running around his yard and gas been the same since. My vet bill was astronomical, and no-one has called to see how he is. And I paid extra for walks where ge picked up these burrs.

There are a lot of different dog training methods out there, and to each his own. However, I chose…read moreCandy's Canines specifically because they claim to use Chris Bach's "The Third Way." My observations are that they don't practice what they preach. This class was more or less a modified "yank and crank" style of dog training... prong collars and reprimands with a few treats thrown in for good measure. The instructor yelled at (and I do mean yelled) and manhandled my 6 month puppy for jumping up on him. He scared me, so I'm sure he scared my puppy! It was a miserable experience for me and my dog, and I left after one session of class (despite paying up front). The instructor did say one thing that I agreed with: that no dog should be punished for something that it hasn't learned yet. Amen to that! It's just a shame that they're all talk when it comes that philosopy at Candy's Canines. Be sure to observe a class to make sure that their training style matches your own. Lesson learned for me -- I should have followed that particular piece of advice myself.

I am not sure about the experience of the first Yelp reviewer, but that is NOT my experience. I…read morehave been with Candy's Canines for over 15 years with my THIRD dog. I've NEVER been told to do something I felt unsafe for myself or my canine companion. Cheryl has guided me throughout my years of agility training to earn multiple advanced/elite titles on all my dogs. I've only trained one day a week for an hour and have earned many advanced national agility titles on my dogs. I think that Cheryl bends over backwards to help people and that this previous evaluation shouldn't be the only consideration on Yelp. Many, many people in the northern IL / southern WI area know that their dog training success has come from Cheryl Carter.

Sara is a real professional who knows her stuff. She's not just someone who's good with dogs…read morebecause of her experience and intuition, she also understands the nitty gritty science behind dog behavior and can explain it to you in as much detail as you like! But she's not dogmatic or condescending like some trainers are, and she doesn't make you feel bad if you've made a mistake or have a different point of view. I had a Zoom session with her and follow her on social media and she's helped me so much with my puppy who was biting me (hard!) during playtime and walks and constantly eating gross stuff off the ground. Highly recommend!

I learned Robin was in town vacationing and she agreed to work with my dog. She had such a way with him. Learning from her was a game for him. He was always so happy to see her. In a short amount of time, the dog was behaving so much better. She also gave me instructions on how to continue with the training. She still checks on us to see how we are doing. I also saw some of her videos of the dog shows. Looks like so much fun for everyone, especially for the children. Wish I could see the show in person.

Sit means sit Kenosha is amazing. I have been working with…read morethe sit means sit crew for more than a year and I can't express enough how well my dog listens to me. About 2 years ago I have noticed that my dog has been getting aggressive towards other dogs while on walks. I called several other trainers and nothing seemed to work. I spent a lot of time and money on training techniques that were unsuccessful. I finally took advice from a friend who also had great success with sit means sit. Within a couple of lessons everything clicked and my dog has been well behaved ever since. I never thought I would have my dog completely off leash walking by my side 2 years ago. Now he can do so much more! I love the way they work with you and make you feel confident when training your dog. They will work with any dog and help you with any problem! Thank you sit means sit!

I have a very special little dog who…read moreneeds a lot of training and attention to help overcome her behavioral challenges and they not only understood what to do immediately, we've been making steady progress since we first met everyone. The convenient Wheaton location of the facility is great for daycare and they also allow for half-day daycare too. Very flexible scheduling. When I pick my dog up, I can tell that she's received personalized attention from the staff and that she has been well cared for. Often she's been able to work one-on-one with a staff member for nearly all of her half-day session. We also attend the group classes which are incredibly unique and let my dog build up practice interacting with other dogs in a way that reinforce new, good behaviors. My neighbors are thrilled with the progress almost as much as I am - my dog no longer automatically barks at everyone outside now and is able to make new friends. The in home training we did originally was incredibly valuable to get us started on the right foot. We need to do that again very soon! Is it the least expensive daycare and/or training in the area? No. But it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. When I leave my dog in the care of The Canine's Voice I know that she's going to be safe, loved, and will learn a few things while she's there. The classes are incredibly valuable too. The results speak for themselves.
