Canine Perspective: Structured Daycare, Boarding & Training

I have been a customer of Canine Perspective since 2022. My rescue dog, Cass, is reactive towards other dogs and requires structure and exercise. Jessie and the Canine Perspective team provide Cass with both in abundance. Before trying Canine Perspective, I did not think Cass could play with other dogs due to his reactivity. However, seeing Cass play with other dogs or exercising on treadmills next to other dogs on the CP socials is a highlight of my day(Jessie & team work wonders!). In addition, I know that they care deeply for all of the dogs entrusted to their care on any given day. We have used Canine Perspective for daycare (Cass loves it and is always so excited to be dropped off), as well as boarding. We trust them implicitly to keep our pup safe, and it gives us peace of mind

We can’t recommend Canine Perspective enough - Jesse and his team are professional dog handlers. They keep the pack safe while working with each dog’s unique personality. We have a reactive Pitbull who started at CP unable to see another dog without fear taking over. Since going through their program she has become much more confident around new dogs and much happier as a result. She is always excited to go there and we believe it’s because it’s a structured and safe environment where she can socialize, learn, AND it’s so quiet she can actually settle enough to be able to sleep. Thank you CP!

Our dog trained with Canine Perspective and we use them regularly for both boarding and daycare. The training has been really helpful - both training us to be comfortable with our dog's e-collar and training our dog's previously-unruly behaviors. The fact that for dinner he now goes and sits on his bed without even being commanded is amazing. The pickups for daycare are super helpful and we really appreciate that he has structured activities and the same rules at daycare/boarding that he does at home. Thanks!

This review is long overdue! Jesse and his team at Canine Perspective saved my dog Benji’s life! I adopted Benji out of a home where he was biting daily. Removing him from the environment was a good start and he trusted me but didn’t trust others, and even had a level 4 bite a few months into my ownership, around May of this year. I was distraught—wondering what could possibly save Benji by correcting his biting if my love and general obedience couldn’t? That is when I found Jesse. His reviews were great online but I was still nervous, wondering if he could really help my specific case, which seemed to be such random bites from past triggers I didn’t even know. Jesse and his team SAVED Benji! His one on one training sessions helped me understand what Benji needed—leadership, not exclusive

If you’re on the fence about training here - I couldn’t recommend this team enough. When I moved from Dallas to Chicago, something snapped in my dog and his occasional barking at dogs and people turned into full blown reactivity. I was walking this dog at 6am and 10pm in Chicago every day praying that we didn’t see another dog. His reactivity had hit an all time high seemingly overnight and I didn’t recognize him. I was introduced to Jesse at a Solid K9 seminar that was hosted at Jesse’s facility and put him in the Canine Perspectives board and train shortly after. This is him over the past two weeks at Lincoln Park, Gold Coast, and Old Town (all very very dog heavy neighborhoods) in very busy times. We’ve had four separate occasions where little dogs have barked and lunged at him and he
