Dog Training and Behavioral Modification
For Obedience and Manners

Hello, and welcome to my website!

I offer " dog improvement "-- dog training and dog behavioral modification services to northern Illinois/ suburban Chicago pet owners. I also offer phone consultations for people with dog behavior problems and dog training questions from all over the world.

My dog (and people!) training programs help owners teach their pets to willingly cooperate, demonstrate great self control and manners, and socially interact with kindness and confidence.

Dog training services offered include: 

• private dog training evaluations and consultations

• small classes for puppies and adult dogs

• doggie day-training (better than doggie daycare!) 

• boarded dog training and dog "bootcamps"-- though no "boots" are ever used; just patience, knowledge, and kindness!

Private consultation is always recommended when a dog is demonstrating aggressive tendencies or serious problem behavior!

The more you know, the better your dog will behave . . . Peggy Moran helps pet owners find the right tools and the most effective applications for achieving Dog Improvement goals! About Our Facilities: All of our classes are taught at our home-based training facility in Lemont, Illinois. We have a climate controlled indoor training room as well as a safely fenced half-acre outdoor training area for practicing off lead training and allowing socialization. About Peggy: I am a dog owner, trainer, and specialist in problem behavior. I am self-educated, and have been working professionally with dogs since 1975. I have specialized in problem behavior since 1979. I have been behavioral consultant to the American Dog Owners' Association; a guest speaker to the Northern Illinois Veterinary Medical Association, the University of Illinois Police Training Institute, at the University of Chicago, and at many area humane societies; I have done in service training for the staff of the Anti Cruelty Society in Chicago. I have been a writer for Dog World Magazine since the mid 1980's, as a monthly columnist, online editor, and feature writer. I retired from the magazine in December, 2002 to devote more time to training, writing a book, and spending time with my family and pets! I was the recipient of the ASPCA's Pet Overpopulation Answers Award through the Dog Writers' Association of America in 2000; have been featured on many local radio and television programs; and have been a frequent guest on Animal Planet Radio. About Monica: My name is Monica Moran-Pachl. I am Peggy's daughter and a fourth year student at the University of Chicago. I have grown up surrounded by animals and animal training, and have worked under my mother's tutelage as an assistant trainer for many years. I have taught dog training classes, consulted on problem behavior, and have provided in-home pet care and training. Along with my mom I am cofounder of an animal education program through which I frequently visit public schools to teach children about animal behavior and learning theory. I presently offer weekday in-home "day-training" visits for stay-at-home dogs in the Hyde Park area of Chicago, as a fun and educational alternative to standard dog walking. chicago trainer, positive training, pet behavior, problem behavior, private lessons dog improvement, group instruction, dogs, puppy, puppies, pet trainer, pet training, dog obedience, behaviorist, obedience school, private instruction, illinois dog trainer, dog training, Lemont dog trainer, peggy moran, training, behavior, chicago, improvement, pet, illinois, animal, owners, peggy, problem, behavioral, classes, chicago trainer, positive training, pet behavior, problem behavior, private lessons dog improvement, group instruction, dogs, puppy, puppies, pet trainer, pet training, dog obedience, behaviorist, obedience school, private instruction, illinois dog trainer, dog training, Lemont dog trainer, peggy moran, training, behavior, chicago, improvement, pet, illinois, animal, owners, peggy, problem, behavioral, classes,
