Melrose Park is one of the older towns west of Chicago. It has a strong Italian and Latino feel. Houses sit close together on long streets.

If you walk your dog here, you're passing kids, bikes, and front-porch visitors every day. Calm manners matter.

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