About Happy Pup Manor

<h2>Board and train in a home, on 30 fenced acres</h2><p>Happy Pup Manor is set on a historic Grayslake property the site describes as a completely fenced 30-acre site with four distinct fenced play areas. Dogs live in the owners' homes rather than a kennel block: the site mentions its main residence and a second building it calls Gigi's house, and says guests have supervised access to over 6,000 square feet of the home. It specializes in Doodles, Retrievers and some smaller breeds, and calls itself the doodle house.</p><h3>Programs</h3><p>Board and train is the core offer, with programs running from 10 days to 16 weeks. The site recommends the 10 day option as a general foundation for a dog under two years old, a 4 week program for young puppies or families looking toward therapy or service work, and an 8 week program that carries a puppy through most of housetraining while living with the resident pack. Every program covers obedience commands, manners, housetraining, leash walking, crate training, mouthiness and puppy biting, barking, jumping and counter surfing, and ends with a go-home lesson. Dogs in training get an hour of individual work a day plus group training, supervised play and reinforcement through the day in a home environment. Therapy dog and emotional support animal training, boarding and grooming are listed separately, and all stays include a complimentary pick-up and drop-off service within Chicagoland.</p><h3>Credentials</h3><p>The site describes owner and lead trainer Gabby as a certified AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy and Canine Good Citizen evaluator who holds several Masters titles in competitive dog sports such as agility and nosework, and a registered member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and the International Association of Canine Professionals.</p>
