About Casey’s Pup Academy

<h2>Day and board training run out of a trainer's home in Prospect Heights</h2><p>Casey's Pup Academy is "specifically designed to train dogs to become well-behaved family pets." The origin story on the site is about relapse: "With years of experience working in daycares and local training businesses, Casey often felt disheartened when dogs returned home and reverted to their previous bad behaviors. With long-term success in mind, Casey developed a dog training academy to help dogs and owners reach their maximum potential."</p><h3>The intended path</h3><p>The site sets out an ideal sequence rather than a single purchase: "a dog would undergo board or day training, followed by participation in dog daycare for an extended period&mdash;until the owners have learned the necessary skills and the dog's good behavior becomes a habit," with the option to "customize specific parts as needed" for those who do not want the whole system.</p><h3>Services and published prices</h3><p>The service list carries prices on every line: <strong>Board &amp; Train</strong>, called "Our Most Comprehensive Training Option" and run at a trainer's house, at <strong>$2,000</strong>; <strong>Day Train</strong>, where "Your dog goes home everyday," at <strong>$1,450</strong>; <strong>Aggressive Dog Training</strong> for behavior modification and management at <strong>$3,000</strong>; a <strong>Canine Good Citizen</strong> test with a CGC certified evaluator at <strong>$100</strong>; an <strong>Introduction to canine behavior</strong> class at <strong>$160</strong>; and dog walking at <strong>$50</strong>.</p><h3>What every program covers</h3><p>Obedience training is tailored, but the site lists a common core: loose leash walking ("No more pulling or tugging!"), sit and down stays held until released, waiting at doorways, going to a place, bed or climb on cue, reliable recall, potty training, and "Cultivating polite and non-destructive behaviors." The business operates from Patricia Ln in Prospect Heights and takes inquiries by form, email or phone.</p>
