About Family Dog Center of Illinois

Our goal is for you to have a warm, loving, friendly and well-behaved family pet - not a dog brutalized into submission.

As such, we only use Positive-Reinforcement training methods and we urge all of our clients to use No-Choke Training Collars.

At FDC,  we recognize that every dog has it's own personality and, like people, they learn differently.

By keeping our class size small (10-12 dogs) and with each class having a Two-Person Instruction Team (a highly experienced instructor and an assistant), our staff is able to recognize the specific needs of your dog and customize our training program, accordingly.

Training the family dog can be a fun family-project. As such, the entire family is always welcome to come to each class session (only one person in the training arena) to learn how the family, as a whole, can train the dog to become the type of family pet which you desire.
