All Fours Dog Training

Do not use All Fours Dog Agility Training. I strongly believe the prior reviews are from friends of the instructor Dee. She does not know how to teach. She may be a decent dog trainer but knows nothing about teaching adults how to train their dogs. You will be lectured for 20 to 25 minutes of a 45 minute class on drills that you are supposed to do at home. If you don't video her lecture or bring a notepad to take notes, which we were never instructed to do, you will need to remember a 25 minute lecture with many drills. In fact, there was no communication before the series of classes started. Other dog owners didn't have enough treats, nor tug toys, which are essential parts of the training process because there was zero communication! There were no handouts with instructions on the drills

I'm on my third dog doing training and with all my little guys energy and speed, we decided to try and do solo agility classes with Dee and she is so incredibly worth it! Dee is one of the best trainers I've met in the Chicago area, my dog and I look forward to working with her every week! My other two dogs did most of their training in MN and I was having trouble finding a trainer after a couple of so-so experiences over the last couple years and I'm so glad I gave it another shot. I personally love how she's able to use interactions between my dog and I as mini teaching lessons to show how we're hurting/helping their training and homework to work with them on. Even though it's not always related to agility training specifically, she gives us tips on how to train our little guy in other

I starting training with Dee about 10 years ago. I chose her after working with several other trainers because I have shibas and while the breed is super smart, shibas aren't very biddable and have little interest in pleasing humans. I found most trainers had no idea how to help me work with that temperament of dog. Well, three shibas and lots of blue ribbons and titles later, I have nothing but great things to say about Dee's skills, talent and dedication. I've taken private lessons and classes from Dee. If something doesn't click with you (or with your dog), she finds another way to address your concern. And it is always fun, positive and upbeat. We took a break during COVID and just started back up with private lessons and I was thrilled to see that our youngest Shiba hadn't forgotten a

Place is great, I love my agility instructor. My only problem is the lobby is not properly set up for agility class. Since its an open plan, there's no where for the dogs to rest easily and still be close enough to hear thw instructor or see the course. Perhaps the vinyl barriers used for beginner class could be moved to the lobby so we can stand by the viewing window?

Dee is an amazing instructor and the dog has a ton of fun that is the most important thing
