Home Dog Training & Puppy Training in Orland Park, Illinois

Home Dog Training & Puppy Training in Orland Park, Tinley Park & Naperville!

My name is Vicky Harper and I am your local master dog trainer and dog behavioral therapist in the Greater Southern Chicago Suburbs including Orland Park, Tinley Park, Mokena, New Lenox, Frankfort, Homer Glen and Naperville.

I have been training dogs and puppies for nearly 20 years and love working with families in the Greater Orland Park region. 

I am proud to be acknowledged as a true professional expert in the field of dog training. I have worked directly on a national level with The Steve Harvey Show! They came to me and have sought out my advice and help. I’ve worked with them behind the scenes on some of their programs involving dogs and Steve himself gave me a shout out on air during one of the programs. You can imagine my surprise when I got a call from them on a Sunday morning! But how did they find out about me? They simply did their research like you and googled dog trainers in the Chicago area! They looked at the type of techniques that I use and read all of the positive things my clients have said about me online over the years!

I train dogs and their pet parents using our natural communication techniques that dogs understand. I apply the same communication methods - body language and voice control - that dogs instinctively follow. My initial sessions typically last 2-3 hours.

I do in-home, private behavioral and obedience dog training. The training is done in your home because your dog is more relaxed, there are less distractions and it's where most problems occur. I customize the training program according to your dog's issues and your goals. 

I am most proud of the fact that I use natural techniques. I do not believe in using any harsh or physical measures at all. There is no use of any prong, shock or any other type of collar that would cause harm to your dog. I teach you how to communicate with your dog in a simple manner that he/she can understand and that will improve your overall relationship.

In addition to addressing unwanted behaviors, I also teach basic obedience - Come, Sit, Stay, Down, Walking as well as general household manners. With puppies the goal is to train them and raise them properly so that they do not develop behavioral issues. I teach puppy basics such as crate and potty training as well. Some clients hire me the day they bring their dog home so I can guide them through the process from start to finish.

Many of my clients come to me after other types of dog training methods have failed. Please do not give up on your dog without working with me first. Bark Busters Home Dog Trainers have saved thousands of dogs across the country that would have been given up or euthanized without our training.
