Evolution Dog Training Chicago (EDTC)

Angela is the best! Her specific, nuanced approach to working with Hersh’s “over exuberance” aka excitement/jumping, is reaping great rewards at home & on walks. Plus she taught him to catch a frisbee & to swim in Lake Michigan! We cannot recommend Angela & Evolution Dog Training more highly!

Working with Angela has been an incredible journey for both me and my dog, Ahsoka. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve learned to truly understand Ahsoka’s behavior, her needs, and how to support her in meaningful ways. Ahsoka came to Angela with traumas, and the transformation we’ve seen has been nothing short of amazing. Angela doesn’t just train dogs—she builds real, lasting bonds with dogs and their humans. She’s been a true partner in Ahsoka’s journey, walking with us through every step—whether it’s behavior training, surgery prep and recovery, exercises, food, or even coordinating with the vet. Her dedication is unmatched. I can’t recommend Angela enough to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and deeply committed dog trainer. She’s helped us grow not just as pet parents, bu

Angela is wonderful with helping our dogs and helping us learn how to communicate with them better. Since I’ve started working with her, my relationship with my 3yo Boston terrier has gotten so much better! I can understand him better.

Angela is a Wonder Woman; in just a few sessions she totally fixed what I thought was an unfixable recall issue, and also trained walking more gently. What’s more she deeply cares about her dogs and is always giving really helpful tips and advice on how to keep our dog healthier and happier, which is really above and beyond. Lastly, she’s flexible and accommodating and will always find a way to fit you in if you need an urgent walk. Really couldn’t recommend EDTC more highly based on our experience!!

Summary: We were just looking for daily walks, but we got SO MUCH MORE!!! Angela is the dog whisperer (literally, I'm convinced)! I reached out to Angela to walk my dog during the day, as my 11-year-old dog was experiencing frequent UTIs and wasn't able to hold it as long. Like all overprotective dog parents, I was reluctant to trust a new person with my fur baby...it didn't help that we tried three behaviorists (from whom we experienced varied levels of success) and a walker (who quit because my dog was too leash reactive). And I was resistant to change... I wanted a dog walker who would just let my dog out, and I was content with simply managing existing behaviors on our walks. Instead, Angela pushed me out of my comfort zone (while also respecting my boundaries). I even purchased new
