ZIPs served: 60614~12 mi from office

Lincoln Park is one of Chicago's best-known neighborhoods. The park, the zoo, and the lake are right there. Families and young people both live here.

If you live here, your dog walks past a dozen other dogs a day. Off-leash time at the park is normal. So is constant exposure.

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