About Baxter and Beasley

<h2>Palatine daycare and boarding with a fully priced training menu</h2><p>Baxter &amp; Beasley operates at 313 W Colfax St in Palatine, offering doggie daycare, boarding and training. The site describes staff with "years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and needs," and advertises a recurring daycare special of $20 on Mondays.</p><h3>How training starts</h3><p>Every program begins with a consultation, and the site is explicit that it is "ALWAYS FREE." The stated approach is "Once a consultation has taken place and your dog's specific behavioral issues have been identified, Baxter &amp; Beasley will help you develop a custom plan," with the site repeating that it "does not take a 'one size fits all' approach." Listed topics run from puppy mouthing and nipping, barking, leash pulling and jumping through to separation anxiety, fear-based behavior and "Growling, lunging, biting, or other aggressive behavior directed at people or dogs."</p><h3>Formats and published prices</h3><p><strong>Private lessons on the premises</strong> are <strong>$100/hr</strong>, available Monday to Friday 9:00am-8:00pm and Saturday 9:00am-3:00pm. <strong>Private lessons in your home</strong> are <strong>$175/hr</strong>, depending on location, and are recommended where the problem is specific to the home or the immediate area. <strong>Board and Train</strong>, which includes day care, is <strong>$900 for one week</strong> or <strong>$1700 for two weeks</strong>, with a <strong>Day Train</strong> option at <strong>$100</strong>. During a board and train the dog is worked "at least twice a day, 6 days a week" on heel, sit, stay, down, down stay and come, plus any specific problem such as food aggression; the stay ends with a one-hour private lesson for the owner, and two-week clients are encouraged back for a review two weeks later.</p><h3>CGC and therapy dog work</h3><p>The facility runs a four-week Canine Good Citizen class ending in a test "given by our certified CGC evaluator," after which dogs are eligible for AKC certification; the site frames CGC as the first step toward therapy dog visits to nursing homes, hospitals and schools. CGC and therapy dog preparation are quoted by phone rather than listed.</p>
