Des Plaines is bigger than people think. It stretches from the Kennedy out past O'Hare. Lots of forest preserve.

The forest preserves pull you and your dog in from all over. Off-leash recall and calm leash work get tested every walk.

Dog Roar is based at 9960 Pacific Avenue, Franklin Park, IL 60131. We serve owners across Des Plaines and the surrounding suburbs from this facility. Every program is run personally by Ray Bhimani, no rotation through a roster of trainers.

Every program comes with three follow-up lessons and free maintenance classes for life.

Do you take on serious cases like aggression or reactivity from Des Plaines?

Yes. These are the cases other trainers often refuse, and they are some of Ray's strongest work. He has worked with reactive, fearful, and aggressive dogs from across Chicago and Des Plaines. The first step is always a free consultation so we can see your dog and tell you honestly what to expect.
