Private Dog Training in Logan Square

In-home dog training focused on helping dogs settle into city life and helping people feel more confident handling it.

Helping dogs and people understand each other better

Logan Square dogs navigate busy sidewalks, close neighbors, street noise, and limited space to decompress. Training focuses on helping dogs handle those environments calmly, using setups and skills that translate to daily routines — not just training sessions.

How training sessions work

How Training Works

All training is one-on-one and customized for your dog, your routines, and your goals.

1. Start with a free phone consultation

Training starts with understanding what’s driving the behavior, not just correcting what you see on the surface.

2. In-home session

From there, sessions focus on setup, timing, and repetition — building skills in manageable steps and adjusting as your dog’s capacity changes.

Progress shows up as better decision-making over time, not instant fixes or rigid rules

3. Session notes and
support

You’ll get clear session notes after each visit, along with simple ways to reinforce the work between sessions.

Training FAQs

If you’re unsure what kind of training your dog needs, the consult is the best place to start. We’ll talk through what’s going on and outline realistic next steps — even if that means training isn’t the right fit right now.
One sessions (one hour) costs $145. Purchase a 5 pack of lessons for $675.
Training support includes puppy foundations, potty and crate training, leash skills, everyday manners, newly adopted dogs, and behavior challenges like reactivity or fear. Sessions are tailored to what you and your dog need most.
Progress shows up as clearer communication, better decision-making, and quicker recovery — not instant or perfect behavior. Training focuses on building skills gradually and adjusting as your dog becomes more confident.
It can be either, or a mix of both. Some clients want help building practical skills, while others need support around behavior. Training is adjusted based on the goal rather than forcing a single approach.
The number of sessions depends on the dog, the goal, and how long the behavior or skill has been in place. Some dogs benefit from a short series, while others need ongoing support over time.

Good dogs with good reviews

Hailey is so passionate about helping owners and their pets and she is so sweet and patient. She’s helped build confidence in my anxious little baby, and, even though she’s afraid of most people, my dog lovesss Hailey.

Megan Montgomery
Hailey worked with my mini goldendoodle Murphy, who is the sweetest dog but had some resource guard issues that were starting to get tricky to manage. Hailey was incredibly knowledgeable and patient — not just with my dog but with me, too! I noticed a huge difference after just a few sessions. Thank you so much Hailey!!!!!

Jenna White
Hailey is an extremely knowledgeable and compassionate dog trainer! Hailey’s best skill is her ability to meet dogs where they are at and then build deep trust to form behavioral changes. She has experience with all levels - eager puppy all the way to fearful, reactive adult.
