Wicker Park is one of Chicago's coolest neighborhoods. It's busy, packed with bars and shops, and full of young dog owners.

Your apartment dog walks past patio diners and cyclists every block. Calm leash manners are not optional.

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