Two Paws Up Dog Training Lake Bluff, Illinois

It was hard to find my fist time as it is in a long line of garages

My family has had great experiences here from puppy classes to advanced training. They have trainers and programs to fit owners needs. I work in the pet industry and I'm super impressed with them.

My dog loves this place! She gets so excited to do all the tricks the trainer wants us to do. It made me realize how much more she is than just a cuddle bug that I want to do more to fulfill her needs like agility training.

We have been working with the team at Two Paws Up for quite a few years. Our dog loves nosework, we've done basic manners classes, dog parkour, we love it all! Wonderful people who care about your pet and making your relationship positive. Highly Recommend!

Very patient with the owners, their methods have you and your dog work together without choking the dog

Excellent place for your pup to learn. I have a high strung lovable pit bull mix and she has learned so much. Instructor, Tracy, is super nice.

Great place and wonderful trainers!

Great place to train the new edition of your home. Words can't express how happy we are with the assistance and patience.

Two Paws Up is the best investment you can make for your dog. The trainers are top notch. The variety of classes offered not only support a well behaved dog but a well rounded dog. You will not only learn how to positively teach your dog good manners, you will learn how to have fun and play with your dog while teaching them great skills. You will enjoy your dog but others will too. The training center is safe, clean and you will feel the positive vibe as soon as you walk in. I continue to have a fantastic experience with the variety of classes and workshops offered. They are always offering something new to the curriculum to help develop both the owner and the dog. Thank Two Paws Up community for sharing your passion, expertise and love of training great dogs.

Wish I had sent my dog here vs the very expensive 3-week boarding/training he received. Although he came back with a good set of leash manners, his disruptive reaction at the sight of other dogs, motorcycles, and bicyclists did not get any better. After being referred to Two Paws Up, I started with their free Reactive Rover class taught by Brenda. In addition to being comforted by seeing other dog owners with similar issues, Brenda shared and reaffirmed information regarding my dog's behavior. Afterwards I was fortunate enough to schedule a 1-hour session with Brenda following a cancellation in her schedule. In just 1-hour Brenda focused on practical take-aways I could work on with my dog. She used a life-like dog in our session, provided handouts for future reference and more information, and targeted the training for immediate, short-term relief. I experienced success the very next day as I implemented her training tips. I wish I wasn't moving so I could enroll my dog into the Reactive Rover classes and receive more training under her care. I honestly believe had I started with Two Paws Up my dog's behavior would be so much better than it is. But while I won't be able to work with Brenda, I'm grateful for the hour she gave me and the referral to another trainer she knows well in the area I'm moving to.

The trainers here are fantastic. Positive methodology only, great feedback, very supportive of me and my dog. What else could you ask for?

We have two dogs that are 5 and 10 months old and Two Paws Up has provided so many Seminars and information about their individual needs and what trainings would be best for them. We are currently enrolled in 2 different classes and both dogs are excelling. Debbie was able to help show us the best way to encourage our more "stubborn" dog Sundae to do a down and we learned that it was not her being stubborn but instead she was scared and nervous, she is so comfortable there now that she just lays down on her mat without being asked. They are all great people to work with!

Brenda is very knowledgeable, she was able to help us with individual training for all of our dogs! We have tried other trainers but they require prong collars, which I don't like and either does Brenda. She is very hands on and has such a good vibe about her, our dogs fell in love with her instantly!!
