After several hours on the road, they kindly allowed my pup to relax in a private area and even let her cool off in the swimming pool to refresh herself. That level of care and kindness was incredibly appreciated, especially considering how busy they were. Not only did the owner personally come out to introduce herself, but several employees also took the time to come say hello to Gigi. The warmth and genuine hospitality we experienced made a lasting impression. I would absolutely recommend this company and encourage others to give the new owners the opportunity to show just how amazing they are!

I've loved my experience with Enzolen!!!…read more I've worked with both trainers and have had an excellent experience. Currently my dog is being trained as a service dog, and I was ecstatic that I was able to get him started on his first task in my first session! I feel like they took great care in evaluating my dog for themselves and taking my own experience into consideration. I have been able to use things I've already taught my dog to further his training and it's even made me feel more confident as a dog handler. I love that they're a local business, and that they build a real connection with your pet. My dog who's usually aloof with people enjoys their company and even listens to them when I'm around which NEVER happens. I feel like their training methods are fair, and I like that they explain why they make suggestions for me. They're always willing to answer any of my dumb questions about their recommendations, without being condescending or holier than thou. I've enjoyed working with them so much I've already decided to do sports training and maybe even a board and train. Their prices are affordable which is an uncommon thing with training in chicago. I had a hard time finding someone within my budget, but I don't feel like I receive discount training. I feel like I don't have to be rich to provide training for my dog. All dogs can benefit from training (and all humans since it's usually us who has to make the biggest changes) and I'm so happy I found trainers I trust and can afford right in chicago. I recommend them to everyone I meet and will continue to do so! You will not be disappointed in your experience with Enzolen! Ps: they have a recommendation process, so if this review is the reason you decided to work with Enzolen, tell them Amber sent you! )

I'm not sure if they are still in business, but I'd figure I should post a warning about Enzolen…read moreTraining, which was based in Chicago most recently and boasted SD training. They are unethical (lied about the pup and breeder they were supposed to have been in contact with) and incredibly disorganized. They also tried to tell me that puppy raising board and train was equivalent to weekly in-house trainings. Nothing made any sense. I lost $3000 due to their "No refund policy" (they never even met the dog they were supposed to train), but I decided to cut my losses and run instead of staying with them and progressing with whatever program they were going to do. Please learn from my mistakes.

BUYERS BEWARE!! 12…read moreyears ago I hired Toriano to train my German Shepard. She learned a ton of great things. Toriano agreed to barter dollar for dollar with myself/company to do hardscaping in exchange. We agreed to have my employees 2-3 stay at his place because the commute was too far for my crew and shop. When it came time for the work to start Toriano decided to change the agreement and terms. He demanded that my top employees submit their information to him so he could do a background check. (This wasn't apart of the agreement/contract we had upon signing) He refused my guys staying with him. The job ended up costing way more due to this inconvenience. I told him that since he changed the agreement that he owes me $3500 to cover my costs). He never paid and I got screwed. Toriano promised to get my dog certified which also never happened. His price was too steep given these factors... Fast forward... My wife and I hired Toriano and his company to train our newest member of our family. Toriano promised us it would take 8 weeks. He told us he will get her certified in Therapy. It took him an additional 4 weeks in training and never got her certified. My wife and I were pissed because not only did he make false promises but also demanded that we pay for the extra time it took to get our dog trained and food he supposedly supplied. We couldn't pick up our dog until the balance was paid in full. He's made several promises and absolutely No follow through. (We were on vacation the time our pup was there.) When our dog was there longer than expected Toriano said he couldn't get her certification because we were picking her up early. Mind you he forced us to pay him the extra month it took for training instead of it being on his business to eat. 2022 - my friend was looking to hire someone to train her dogs. I told her about Toriano the good and bad. She decided to give him a try and do something at her house instead of boarding. Toriano quoted her after coming out to see the pup $7500 for one week. She could afford it but thought that was too much for someone without overhead expenses as this is what he'd charge when having overhead. Toriano business partner send my friend a text offering 50% off the price quoted to earn her business. She declined because it appeared that because she's a female that they we're trying to pull a fast one on her. Why wouldn't they have just offered this in the beginning?? Just shady business. I've heard this nonsense from a few people I referred to him and his company. He only hires people that he can 1099 so he's not responsible for actual payroll and laws. However he sets time of operation and makes the 1099's obied by the Illinois laws of an employee. Now we have our dogs trained out by us. We found out that certification for dogs aren't for every dog as Toriano said. False promises, false agreements or claims. We all who have experienced this don't trust him. SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHES AND TAKE YOUR DOGS- MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

He is honest in his assessment of my animal as we progress. He is absolutely wonderful with training and breaking dogs out of severe behavior issues. Prentice Kidd is outstanding. I am excited to move forward with my dog and this trainer. Thank you for helping my dog be the best she can be and for me in being the best I can be for my dog.

I was able to see how he treats people's dog when they leave their dog with him for weeks of training. Once I started to really look at his program I was able to really see his program for what it is. I've seen him not feed people's dogs for days, leave them in their kennels (crying & barking) for 10 hrs at a time. Ive heard him talk about clients in such a disrespectful way. I've seen him be cruel and abusive towards dogs that were left in his care for training. He told me that results is all that matters. I would never let him train anything of mine again.

We've been using Puppy Love for the last 10 years since we adopted our 4 year old Hank, a 110 lb…read morehorse (Accordjng to a little girl that once saw him). He's not really a horse. Just a big dog;) My wife and I both work, and so we had someone come by every afternoon to take him for an afternoon stroll. We've gone through maybe 4 walkers or so over the 10 years because of some going to different careers or moving away- but all of them have been excellent to my family, and most importantly to our first kid, Hank:). Every walker has shown true love for our dog, and been super sweet to us as well. Hank wasn't a fan of other dogs, but when we went on away trips he couldn't join us on, Puppy love helped with either boarding at someone's loving home ( we got pictures:) ), having walkers sleepover (where he successfully ninja snatched their sandwiches much to his happiness), or simply had lots of walks scheduled during the day. We had to say goodbye sadly to Hank, and when we were emailing puppy love that we won't need walks any more, I realized that I'd never actually reviewed them here.. oups! So anyhow, here's this. I'm missing the big guy hard right now, but his life was definitely better for us using PuppyLove.

Puppy Love is a business that truly loves animals. We have used Puppy Love for a year now…read more Our dogs and cats always seem content. There is no sign of stress that we were gone. I give that credit to our main sitter, Carolyn. From her notes, I can tell she has an adoration of animals - young, old and in-between. Which is what we had for a brief overlap. A 15 year standard poodle that could not stand on his own and a 5 month old Olde English Bulldog puppy. Opposite ends of the life spectrum - but Carolyn was kind enough to re-assure me, that all was good because they had everything they needed. I'm very grateful for this service. I can leave home and know that my pets, fish too, are in excellent hands.

Anywho, he promised all of these amazing results. We had several appointments booked to which he either canceled or rescheduled very last minute. I'm talking within an hour of the train session. After several no shows or last-minute cancellation/changes, I just asked him for a refund and told him that I think it's best we just call it quits and go our separate ways. He did not take to that well. He sent me nasty text messages, and then accused me of harassing him when I told him that I had done my research and found out the type of person he actually is in the business that he actually runs. He told me that I would have a refund within six weeks, it has been months. He has now blocked my phone number. I have no idea how this guy is allowed to hold any sort of business license, but please do not do what myself and clearly plenty of others have done and give this guy an ounce of your money or let him into your home. We are out $1,000 because of this crook! I'm honestly sick that this man has been to my home and that my dog was ever in his care. Oh, and by the way, he will tell you that all of his negative reviews are because of people that don't like him or some other BS like that. Don't listen to him, just stay away.

And I brought a large crate for him to be put in because he was a puppy at the time.And I want to make sure that he wasn't stuck in some other small cage. This should of been my first red flag. My dog wasn't is his crate his crate when I picked him up. And the tray was missing so they replaced it with a messed up one also they couldn't find his bed at first. They used none of the treats I provided and got back some dog food. When they located his bed they gave it back smelling like pee, he was very house trained and they walk their dogs every few hours... then way did it smell? Plus my dog had a weird leg wound. They said because he was bored. I had to go away for a few days I took him there to bored. The morning I picked him up it was pouring out. Bad all night and day, however when I picked him up he was bone dry. So was the guy watching the dogs, weird for a place that walks dogs every 4 hours. I was soaked from going from my car to the door. My dog also had a mark under his neck from a collar they used. I never took him back there. Congratulations you got thousands of dollars for your scam dog operation that you're running. Don't ever go here!!!! Your dog might die. Id never trust them again. Now I have PTS and cant leave my dog with anyone. I should of done more. I don't know, horrible events. My dog in deered while he was there. And I feel horrible as the dog mom, nor can he speak to me and tell me, but i'm trying to save anybody else from this happening to them. Take your dog to tap kennel. We're somewhere else. I understand accidents happen, and I know things aren't perfect. But there's no excuses for these mishaps. Pretty sure. This place is probably shut down by now. I don't understand why. And I hope the owner ray reads this and understands how much of a failure. He is not for feeling as a business owner, but you'll let your guest down yellow.Let my dog be treated like sh*t. I probably should I take this guy to court to get my money back? But then, again, court expenses are so much. That is it really worth it. But please don't take your dog here, its a place where dogs are mistreated and i full horrible and its been years and im just writing a review because a I was just asking around about who can I trust to watch my dog while im on vacation. I feel no one. You let me down.

She was given a great foundation with positive reinforcement and treat training. Rey was excellent at explaining what to expect and what was needed to be done on our end after her board and train ended. Our whole family participated and were included.

It's a no frills or agility training but great for the basics which is what we were needing. The also offering boarding. They are also budget friendly.
