Why Choose Training at Happy Pup Manor?

We deliver breed-tailored dog training for Doodles, Retrievers, and Smaller Breeds in a home-based environment, using proven animal training methods to achieve exceptional results.

We’re the doodle house! We have a passion for these free-spirited, intelligent pups. Our deep knowledge of this dog breed and their behaviors allows us to provide personalized behavior modification training that gives your puppy structure and manners while bringing out their personality. One of the many reasons we love Doodles and Retrievers is because they make excellent therapy dogs and companions. We proudly offer therapy dog training alongside traditional board and train programs for puppies who will work with children, seniors, or others in need of comfort and emotional support from a well-mannered pet.

Intimate, Immersive Training Experience

Your puppy will be a guest in our home throughout their immersive dog training session, living with our experienced and knowledgeable animal training team. This home-based setting enhances comfort and encourages confidence through positive socialization with both people and other pets. Your pup will experience realistic household distractions—like kitchen smells or doorbells—which are essential for behavioral reinforcement and attention-building.

We welcome only select dog breeds to promote compatibility during group dog daycare and supervised play. This helps your pet thrive in a safe, structured environment while developing foundational behaviors with toys, dog collars, and leash exposure that reinforce success.

Our trainers have experience in raising and training Emotional Support Dogs, Therapy Dogs, and Service Animals. If your training goals include developing these specific skills and behaviors, let us know when enrolling—Gabby and our certified team will guide you with professional insight rooted in experience, compassion, and understanding of American Kennel Club standards.

5-Star Amenities for Your Furry Family Member

All of our boarding and training dogs stay as guests and receive a 5-star luxury experience. Your fur baby will have supervised access to over 6,000 square feet of our home and our New training building AKA “Gigi’s house”, and our spacious, fully fenced, 30-acre yard is a city pup’s dream come true.  Happy Pup Manor’s complimentary chauffeur service within the Chicagoland area ensures that puppy training fits easily within your schedule.

Our Happy Pup Manor Training Programs

How Long is Your Training Program?

Just like children, puppies are most elastic at a young age. Puppies who spend more of their young weeks at The Manor build off of a fresh foundation of lifelong good habits, preventing naughty behaviors like jumping or mouthing from becoming bad habits.

Accordingly, we recommend the following programs depending on your pup’s age and your training goals:

  • 10 Day – A good general-purpose foundation for any pup under 2 years old.
  • 4 Week – Ideal for young puppies or a family looking for therapy training or a lead into service dog training.
  • 8 Week – Puppy stays with us through the majority of housetraining time and lives with our pack to develop a lifelong foundation for good behavior.

We also offer longer training programs for those with specific training goals. Call Gabby today, or fill out our contact form to set up an appointment, to discuss your specific training goals and the ideal program for your pup.

What Will My Puppy Learn in Training?

Our training programs focus on building a foundation for a lifetime of companionship and good behavior. All programs cover:

What Will My Pup Do During Training?

All puppies in our obedience training programs receive:

  • One hour of individual training per day
  • Group training with other puppies in the program
  • Supervised playtime to socialize with other dogs big and small
  • Constant reinforcement of training throughout the day in a home environment

Our extensive experience and unique accommodations have made us the trainer of choice for numerous doodle and retriever breeders nationwide.  Our owner and lead trainer, Gabby, is a certified AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy and Canine Good Citizen evaluator who holds several Masters titles in competitive dog sports such as Agility and Nosework, and she is a registered member of The Association of Professional Dog Trainers and The International Association of Canine Professionals.
