What do clients say about Canine Perspective?
Canine Perspective Has Grown Into A Full-Scale Facility In West Town Offering The Only True Structured, Quiet Kennel And Real-World Dog Training Center In Chicago.
We rescued our dog six years ago, and while she was sweet at home, her reactivity made daily life very difficult. We tried multiple trainers over the years, but nothing worked.
At Canine Perspective, Jesse clearly explained everything and immediately put us at ease about e-collar training.
In just two weeks, our dog made life-changing progress. Walks became calm, stress disappeared, and we could finally take her out confidently.
That progress even allowed us to fly internationally and relocate to the EU. She’s now confident, happy, and part of everyday life.
Jesse gave us our lives back.

We can’t recommend Canine Perspective enough. Jesse and his team are skilled, professional handlers who prioritize safety while working with each dog’s unique needs.
Our reactive Pitbull has grown more confident, social, and happy since starting the program. The structured, calm environment makes all the difference.

I’ve been with Canine Perspective since 2022, and the results with my reactive rescue dog, Cass, have been incredible. Jesse and the team provide the structure and exercise he needs, and I never imagined he’d be able to play alongside other dogs.
Cass loves daycare, and we fully trust the team for both daycare and boarding. They truly care, and it shows.
— Kyle D
We use Canine Perspective for training, daycare, and boarding, and the results have been amazing. They helped us confidently use the e-collar and transformed our dog’s behavior—he now goes to his bed at dinner without being told.
We love the structured environment and consistent rules, plus the daycare pickups are a huge help.

Thank you for always taking such great care of Lenny! Having a reactive dog can be hard, but knowing he is at a structured daycare that works with him and his needs eases my anxiety when traveling!
— Saundrine L
I’ve been with Canine Perspective for years for daycare, boarding, and training. My dog, Tiger, loves it and I love knowing he’s in great hands. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and the environment is calm and quiet.
Their structured approach makes a huge difference balanced play, rest, and treadmill work keep Tiger calm, happy, and not overstimulated.

15-Day Daycare & Trains begin with Prong Collar and Slip Chain (purchased separately) to accustom your dog in a more natural way to e-collar work and is highly recommended for nervous, fearful, insecure, and anxious dogs as this allows more time to build your dog’s confidence. All dogs benefit from this approach, but stable dogs like Copper (YouTube video on the top right) recover much more quickly and can jump right into remote collar work.
Puppies over 6-months must do this length program at minimum as it allows Canine Perspective to introduce the puppy to pressure concepts appropriately. Longer programs are even better for puppies over 6-months. Price remains the same as your puppy will perform at the same level as an adult dog can.
Commands covered are On & Off-Leash Heel with Auto-Sits, Off-Leash Recall, Sit/Stay, Down/Stay, and Place/Stay.
Distance, Duration (up to 2 hours), and Distraction are all worked on to proof your dog’s obedience.

Your dog will have a very demanding training routine as he or she will be handled throughout the day so that their obedience is being applied in as many scenarios as possible. Adding additional week or weeks allow for more time to proof the obedience and add in more advanced training concepts.
