Our goal at Chicago Canine Academy is to give our beloved dogs big lives. Untrained dogs have such small lives, tethered as they are to us, limited to walking three miles per hour. Whether you have a Great Dane, Miniature Pinscher or anything in between, that's just not good enough in our opinion. These marvelous canine athletes have to be able to run full out to get the exercise they really need. So many of the dog problems that come to us are not much more than the result of a dog living in physical frustration because he can't do what nature intended. These frustrations appear in the form of aggression, destructiveness, anxiety, excessive barking, pacing, and obesity. All of these problems can be the result of an under-exercised canine.
