If I don’t have to upload everyone to the Drive, it saves me a ton of time! Fortunately I can easily DM the same high quality photos straight to you.

If you want your pictures, please send me a DM!

TLDR: Pack Mommy is going to be even more MIA in a few months.

Fortunately, Carlito Burrito’s little sister won’t arrive until after the Howl-O-Ween and Howliday photoshoots so you guys won’t really need me in the spring anyway 😆.

Sorry we didn’t do something cooler. We’re both exhausted so this is the big announcement 🤰🏼🤷🏼‍♀️.

CONTROVERSIAL POST TIME!

Not everyone is a good fit for a dog that needs a lot of work. And not every dog is fixable.

Come at me in the comments. Go ahead. But some dogs, like my Luna, are genetically imbalanced. There is something wrong within her and it results in her wanting to bite people. All the training in the world won’t take that drive out of her. You can’t convince me otherwise.

What good training DOES do is give her boundaries and structure to thrive in a world she otherwise wouldn’t be able to handle.

Luna requires work every single minute of every single day. As we grow our family, she continues to get more boundaries to keep our children safe.

But to me, she’s worth all the work.

AND IT’S OKAY IF IT ISN’T WORTH IT FOR YOU.

Dog trainers sell you a dream of a perfect dog. But for dogs like Luna, even a lifetime of work might not make them “normal” or “easy”. Find a trainer who explains this.

And for the love of Pete, stop comparing your dog to ones on social media. If you were to watch this reel out of context, you would assume any dog with a bite record could turn into Luna.

Be sure you understand there’s an owner behind every great dog you see. And of course, the trainer who helped them get there.

If you’re looking for the best dog training in Chicago, or the only quiet, structured kennel for boarding and daycare, you’ve just found your pack.

Happy Marathon Day from newly graduated Board and Train service dog, Charlie!

What Charlie is displaying during the hustle and bustle of a loud and crowded marathon is the ability to simply exist. If you’ve ever seen a fake service dog at the airport, the biggest giveaway is that they are overstimulated by quite literally everything around them. They are the definition of “zero chill”.

A true service dog is of course task trained, but you might never see them perform their actual task in passing. What you will see however, is behavior like this. Service dogs are able to chill, they don’t rise to distractions, and they are clued into their handler.

If you’re interested in dog training and obedience, come find out why Jesse is the best dog trainer in Chicago. We cover everything from basic in-home obedience to fully qualified off leash service dogs, and even behavior rehabilitation.

We also run Chicago’s only quiet, structured kennel for daycare and boarding. Plus we’re family owned and operated. No big chains here! Come join our pack!

Daycare doesn’t have to be sexy, fancy, or “Instagrammable” to be good for your dog.

Honestly? Dogs don’t care about the aesthetic.

They care about having a safe environment where they can move, play, socialize, decompress, and actually be dogs — with structure and knowledgeable humans guiding the day.

At Canine Perspective, playtime is just one piece of the puzzle. We build in structure, rest, supervised socialization, training, and appropriate outlets so your dog isn’t spending the day in a chaotic free-for-all.

Because the goal isn’t to send your dog home completely wired. It’s to send them home fulfilled.

Pretty is for humans.
Structure is for dogs.

if you’re looking for the best and only structured, quiet kennel in Chicago, you’ve just found your pack. Use the link in our bio to enroll on our three day daycare evaluation.

For a food (and attention) motivated puppy, SIT and COME are fairly easy but PLACE can be intimidating. So why do we bother?

First off, we’re laying foundations for adult work. A young puppy might not be able to truly hold a duration command like PLACE but we want it to be familiar.

It’s also a fantastic confidence builder. Watch little Milo here hesitate to make the jump up onto the Kuranda bed. Overcoming fears at an early age helps create a more balanced adult dog.

But maybe most importantly, you’re teaching the puppy that they don’t have to be involved in everything that happens around them.

People love to talk about socializing puppies, but socialization isn’t just letting your puppy interact with everything and everyone. Sometimes the most valuable lesson is learning to observe the world without participating in it. Hence why we love PLACE.

Structure creates confident dogs. Start teaching it early.

We focus mainly on adult dog training around here but if you’re a former or current client, we happily offer in-person puppy programs to cover crate training, potty training, socialization, and general obedience.

If you’re not a client but still interested in puppy training, we do offer an online program with video lessons, tutorials, and access to book Jesse for all your extra questions. DM us to learn more.

It’s that time of year again, Pack!

We will be hosting our annual Howl-O-Ween photoshoot Monday 10/19, Tuesday 10/20, and Wednesday 10/21.

All pups in attendance for daycare will receive a free photoshoot, in costume. A few reminders if this is your first time:

-We always provide costumes but you’re welcome to send your own. Just remember I use costumes and themes that photograph well. A lot of dog costumes are cute for parades or trick-or-treating but don’t look as good in a staged pose.

-It takes me a few days to upload everyone’s photos and send them out but you do get a JPEG copy via Google Drive link.

-Please send muzzles and/or e-collars if you think your dog needs a little extra hand. I’ve been busy with Carlito Burrito and not nearly as hands on with the dogs as in years past so training tools are appreciated.

-Be sure to update Gingr with any allergies as I DO use treats to get the perfect shot of your pup!

Now that Burrito is a very opinionated toddler, he has some special tricks and treats up his sleeve for our Pack. Stay tuned to our feed during the month of October so you don’t miss out!

If you love your dog and want to have more adventures together, the algorithm hit you with this remix for a reason!

I would know. I’m a lifelong dog owner who used to think “shock collars” were cruel until I actually tried one and LOOK HOW DOPE LIFE IS NOW!

Oh yea, and I ended up marrying the dog trainer who changed mine and Luna’s life but that’s a story for another reel 🤭.

Follow us if you want more dog training myths and misconceptions busted. And if you’re in Chicago or looking for a supportive online community that also offers full video training, it seems like you’ve just found your pack!
