Call of the Wild School for Dogs

Chicago’s Premier Dog Training Facility

Who we are

Call of the Wild is Chicago’s premier dog training school. Founded more than three decades ago by Jennifer Boznos, Call of the Wild is an industry leader and continues to set the standard for state of the art and effective dog training. Boznos and her full-time professional training team help humans and their dogs achieve satisfying and enjoyable relationships.

Building a great relationship with your dog is the goal of all our training programs. Investing in your dog's training will reward you for many years. Call of the Wild has successfully trained thousands of dog/owner teams using the principles of positive reinforcement and behavior management.

Training is based on Chris Bach's ‘The Third Way’ program (www.trainthethirdway.com). We teach you to structure your dog's environment for success and how to teach your dog what you expect of him.

Call of the Wild’s unique blend of professional coaching and owner involvement makes for a highly effective and enjoyable learning experience for both dog and human. Training formats include group classes, private lessons, day school and the Intensive Training Experience (ITE). Call of the Wild also offers highly structured daycare and overnight boarding as an additional service to our training clients only.

Whether getting a new puppy, seeking to enhance the dog/human relationship through obedience skills, create a dog sports partner, certify a therapy dog or attain excellence in a competitive venue, Call of the Wild’s programs are designed to help you reach your goals.
