I think I’ve figured out Sandy’s method. He must have came with a van full of well-trained dogs, and when he took Sparky out for a walk, he spray-painted one to match and switched them out. The walks are such a pleasure now, as opposed to the tug-of-war we’re used to. He’s testing me occasionally, which I expected; but I’m doing my homework and he’s responding beautifully. I know none if this is a surprise to the trainer, but Sparky seems so much happier. He’s also calmed down immensely, as I saw even during Sandy’s visit. Thank Perfect Manners so much for this doggy miracle! I will not hesitate to recommend Sandy to anyone I know who can benefit from his service. Happy Dogs, Happy Life!

I just got back from walk with Magic. We went with her dog friend, Tucker, who is the most well behaved dog I have ever met. Well, now Magic is the most well behaved dog I have ever met. After her at home dog training with Sue, I was able to walk our park for 1 hour and 15 minutes with my friend and her dog. I was even able to drop the leash. Yet, she stayed with me until I allowed her to roam while playing when I called her she came without reservation. I even tested her with my neighbor who she loves to see and jump all over. My neighbor is in amazement as are me and my husband. Thank you so much, Perfect Manners! We should have called them 6 years ago! The walk I took today was the most wonderful walk I have ever had…
Thank you to Sandy of Perfect Manners Dog Training, you saved our dog. What a great experience for my entire family! Our dog, Chance, was very protective and was lashing out and attacking almost everyone he didn’t know. Sandy taught us what we were doing wrong and what needed to change. Three months later and Chance is acting like a new dog with just one meeting with Perfect Manners. Sandy is like the “Super Nanny” for dogs!
I guess I had my dog “repaired”. She was out of control and breaking my heart with her antics. Called Perfect Manners Dog Training and the dog trainer near Warrenville came out. Sandy patiently explained everything that was going on in my dog’s little canine brain. The trainer then taught my dog some basic dog obedience skills and laid out a plan of homework for me. 2 weeks later and she’s like a new and vastly improved dog. I’d recommend them highly! Not Going To Lie, We Had Our Reservations We were completely hesitant to bring in a dog trainer. We thought that was for other people, not us. But, we were at wit’s end with our dog. He was a dog like no other and we really wanted to keep him. That is when a friend referred us to Perfect Manners. I had to wait a couple weeks for…
We have a 2-year old Yorkie Pomeranian mix and a 9-month old Yorkie Poodle mix. The aggressive dog behavior on walks and the excessive barking inside and outside the house was miserable. I couldn’t take them on walks anymore, neighbors were avoiding us (I don’t blame them) and Perfect Manners was our “last ditch effort”. I told the kids if they couldn’t help us we’d have to find new homes for both dogs. Patti came out the day before Thanksgiving and within a half an hour of our 2-hour session, it was like we had two new dogs. They have NEVER behaved so well. My husband and I were shocked at how just a few techniques brought calm and order to our home. Patti was very thorough, answered all our questions and did not judge any of our past mistakes with the dogs. Also, I chose to go with the…
Sandy is wonderful and very gentle with my dog Buddy. We appreciate his expert guidance and practical dog training. Buddy has changed from an insecure dog who barked at anything and everything into a calm little guy. It is a pleasure walking with Buddy now. He no longer pulls, barks or lunges at other dogs. People on the riverwalk have even commented to me that I have “such a well-behaved dog.”
Based on the other reviews, I had my first dog training session with Sandy of Perfect Manners this week. I don’t give many 5 star ratings but I would give him a 10 if possible. I had hoped that with professional help I’d be able to walk my dog without worrying about being pulled down the icy street and spending time in the emergency room having my broken bones patched. Meeting with Sandy Sandy came out (he was punctual) and asked me a lot of questions that had no apparent relation to simply walking my dog. He wanted to know everything from where the dog slept to whether I gave him treats and for what occasions. After my “interrogation” he said he wanted to hear my pup’s side of the story and he was taking him for a walk. Off they went and within 3 minutes they were back. Sandy…
I have a six-month old Wheaten Terrier who, at four months, became terrified to leave our yard. At first, we tried to coax him with treats and comfort him to try to build his confidence. Nothing worked. Finally, in desperation, I contacted Sandy and Perfect Manners Dog Training. During the initial phone interview, I explained my frustration, and he asked me a lot of questions that didn’t seem related to the problem. He visited our home and spent alot of time discussing our situation with my husband and I. Then he took our pup out by himself to “hear his side of the story”. Ten minutes later, I looked out the window and saw Sandy and my formerly terrified dog walking down the street together. He then turned the leash over to my husband and I and incredibly we were able to walk our dog for the first time in…
We just had our 1st session with Patti and we couldn’t be more appreciative and excited to see what the training brings for Diesel and us. Her style of training not only was calming for him but we were thoroughly engaged as well. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Sandy, thank you for your visit today! With Sandy’s dog leash training, Paco learned more in one hour than I could teach him in one year! I’ve already purchased my new leash. It was abundantly clear that the pet store had no idea what dog training leashes for pulling were. They tried to sell me one that extends and retracts and I said emphatically “no!” However, I did find a Cesar Milan one at Petco, my third pet store! I am going to reiterate our lessons today with my husband and my girls. I have already demonstrated to my youngest daughter how Paco can sit! She was in amazement that he did not run away. Thank you!

Prior to hiring the at home dog training classes with Patti, Maeve would: Nip at our feet. Bark constantly at animals and people. Jump on anyone who came in the door. My kids couldn’t even play basketball in our driveway. Maeve would either be going crazy barking if she was in the house, or barking and jumping on them if she was outside. Now Maeve stays in a down position outside and lets the kids play in peace. During our meals Maeve is in a down/stay position and never hangs out by the table looking for scraps. Now when Maeve sees me get food from the fridge, she goes and lies down without even being told! I have learned from Patti to have high expectations for my dog. I expect Maeve to: Lie down during meals. Sit down when she sees me or when I put on her leash. Heal…
Started Hazel with Perfect Manners because after numerous PetSmart sessions and another at Narnia. Hazel would barely sit and was a nightmare to walk because she was really out of control. If you are debating at all over he cost I would not hesitate for a moment. We got amazing results with Sandy on day one! After a 1-hour session, Hazel was walking like a well behaved dog. On day two we had our first normal dinner in almost a year because we sent Hazel to her place and she stayed! Thank you Sandy! Looking forward to lesson 2 with the best Bolingbrook dog trainer!. ~ Stu J. See The Difference Just Within 1-Hour! Want a well-behaved pup? Trust Perfect Manners, your local Bolingbrook Dog Trainer.
