Cori leads dog training classes on a variety of subjects in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
Teamwork on the Town
Hello canine urban explorers! Do you find outings with your dog to be a bit intimidating? Or do you in fact already know your dog loves their city adventures? Either way, this class is perfect for you. Join a group of fellow dedicated k9 training teams on a new quest each week as we voyage to new neighborhoods together and practice loose leash walking, focusing around distractions, polite greetings, relaxing in public spaces, and bonus tricks. Strengthen you and your dog's bond, meet new friends as crazy about their pups as you are, and get your daily steps in. What’s not to love?
This class is open to current students of Venus and Mars K9 as well as to students of our friends Tailored Teaching Canine, Windy City K9, adogtrainerlife, Gotham City Dawg Sports, and others.
