Service Areas — Dog Training Serving the Chicago North Shore & Beyond!

At The Crafty Pup Dog Training, every training journey begins in my training room in Glenview, Illinois — my home base.

I start by building a strong foundation in a calm, focused environment, then gradually expand to working your dog around real-world distractions like people, dogs, and at local parks both on and off leash.

This ensures your dog doesn’t just behave here — they respond reliably no matter where you go.

While I’m based in Glenview, I’ve proudly worked with clients from all over the Chicago North Shore and even have had dogs sent to me from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and New York.

I believe in teaching dogs with absolute clarity — so they understand exactly what’s expected of them. The majority of my training is done without treats, using praise as the primary reward. By the end of any of my programs, your dog will respond to the first command — confidently, calmly, and consistently.

What sets me apart is my two-phase approach: I first train your dog to a high level of obedience, then I teach you how to become a well-trained owner.

The result?

You don’t just get a better-behaved dog — you get the best-trained dog in the neighborhood, and the knowledge and confidence to keep it that way.
