Monica is absolutely wonderful! We sent our puppy Remington for a 3-week training when she was just 2 months old. We were so happy with how Monica communicated with us during the time Remi was away and kept us up to date! We are truly grateful for the time Monica dedicated to training her and has made raising our new puppy a lot easier and couldn't be more pleased of how she came back!!

Monica helped us at a time when we really needed it. Our puppy was a handful, and she adjusted her schedule to start training a week earlier. That kind of flexibility meant a lot. She also spent nearly an hour on the phone with me during our first call, walking me through what to expect and answering every question. Her knowledge and experience are obvious. Our puppy came home completely transformed. We're lucky we found her!

Want to thank Monica from The Fine Canine Dog Training & Boarding school for training our 4 month old Cockapoo. We couldn't ask for a better trainer. Our puppy, Bella, arrived as a very shy dog on day one, but it didn't take long for her to show her true colors! She was full of energy and very hyper. We needed help with Bella as she was quite intense. We knew training was needed, but never expected the great results we saw in our puppy when the 3-week training was over. We highly recommend Fine Canine, you get to see true results. The best part was that it was all done during the holidays while we were traveling.

Sit and Stay with distractions

Our experience with Monica for our Newf puppy has been great. There is huge improvement. Prior to training, we felt like we were losing all control. After training, our puppy is part of the family versus driving us crazy. We highly recommend Monica and Fine Canine Dog Training & Board, especially for families with two working parents and children. It has setup the better environment for our pup and family. Example of issues that Monica was able to address: biting, jumping, leash walking, etc.

Monica, our exceptional dog trainer, has truly transformed our lives. When we rescued Leo as a puppy--part beagle, part Australian Shepherd--we were faced with numerous challenges. However, working with Monica has been a game-changer. Leo was incredibly sweet and very smart. However, he was still a puppy, and his behavior was difficult for our busy family. He would bark incessantly in his crate, especially at night, struggle with crate training, nip at the kids, and walks were a battle as he aggressively pulled on the leash, following his beagle instincts to follow all the smells. Monica's expertise and dedicated team worked wonders with Leo. Thanks to her and her team, Leo is now crate trained, responds well to commands with treats, commands such as sitting, lying down, staying, and even performing other cute tricks. He is now staying in his bed as well while we watch a movie. The most impressive change is his calm and obedient behavior during walks, heeling perfectly by our side. After his training we went to a very loud parade with a lot of distractions and he was So well behaved. Monica's training has exceeded our expectations, bringing harmony and joy to our daily lives. Monica's convenient home pickup, thorough explanations, and patience with our energetic children were greatly appreciated. She even provided a private training session upon returning Leo to our home. As a bonus, our once-terrified cat now feels safe with Leo's improved behavior. We highly recommend Monica as an exceptional dog trainer. Her dedication and expertise have given us a well-trained and harmonious companion, making a significant positive impact on our family. Thank you so much.

We will never run out of good things to say about Monica and her team! We sent blue, our Aussiedoodle puppy for a couple weeks for boarding and training, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Monica is the most knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful training professional. Her techniques and results truly speak for themself. She eased all of our nerves beforehand and sent pictures and video updates while he was away. She is straightforward in what she expects of you and your puppy after training. I wouldn't send our puppy to anyone else. We highly recommend Monica and the entire fine canine team!

It has taken me awhile to write this because we recently lost our dog to cancer…read more Wags 2 Whiskers, thank you so much!!!!! You went above and beyond anything we ever could have expected in caring for our dog Cocoa and we could not have been happier with your services. I'm not sure how we got so lucky to find you, but we can really never thank you enough for helping take such great care of her right up until the end. Our dog was a lot to handle and we both knew that - but she completely adored you and we know that her daily walks were something she completely looked forward to and we never worried when we went away because we always knew that she was well cared for by you. All the pictures, the videos, the texts, and all the special meds and foods at the end that you helped us with - it was so much - you guys absolutely were the best! There are no words to say how grateful we are for everything and if I could give you 10 stars on here, I would!!!!!!!!!!!! You are true animal lovers with kind hearts and I feel blessed that you came into our lives at the time you did and helped us take care of our girl to the end. We will be back, I promise!!! Give us a little time... our hearts are still mending...but fostering is in our future so we can save another one!! Thank you again for everything. I cannot recommend Wags 2 Whiskers enough!

Lois and her team are great with my boy, Fredo, and he loves their visits. I get updates during…read morehis walks along with adorable photos. Any time I have a schedule change or need a last minute walk, they accommodate. Could not be happier!

If you are looking for amazing knowledgeable…read morecare from a vet, Dr Patrick Schaele (owner of Buffalo Grove Animal Hospital) is the absolute greatest place to bring your furry family member. Be prepared for your pet to be pampered as Dr Schaele administers his expert exam with a thorough explanation of his procedures. Katie actually loves her visits with Dr Schaele since it's always accompanied with playtime snuggles. The entire staff at BGAH is exceptional. From the moment you enter, to the point of exit, you can expect nothing but friendly greetings, care and smiles through the entire visit. I'm not one who generally leaves reviews, but Dr Schaele and his team deserve mention. You and your pet will not regret choosing BGAH for your pet's needs. Can you tell how much I'm pleased? Ha! Giving Dr Schaele a solid 10 starts out of 5. ********** Thank you Dr Schaele for the phenomenal care and comfort you have ALWAYS provided for Katie, and me, too. You're the BEST!!!

Dr. Patrick Schaele and his team have been so kind to not only me, but also my dogs. Dr. Patrick is…read moreincredibly knowledgeable and thorough in his exams.  He is considerate  of the needs and feelings of his clients and genuinely empathetic. His willingness to answer questions related and not to our visits is always greatly appreciated! Moose is already my second bullterrier I brought under Dr.Schaele's care. My dog gets equally excited about seeing Dr. Patrick and getting a puppuccino on our way back. I HIGHLY recommend Buffalo Grove Animal Hospital if you are in search of people to take the best care of your animals.
