About Midway Dog Academy

<h2>Board and train and puppy programs for Orland Park</h2>

<p>Midway Dog Academy runs an Orland Park page that opens by asking whether owners "need help getting your dog to listen better," or have "a new pup that requires help getting on the right track with crate training, potty training, and obedience training." The page sets out what it says a dog will learn: to "Walk calmly on the leash," "Come back when called," "Stop unwanted behaviors," "Ring a bell to go potty outside," "Learn a 'place' command to relax," "Practice socialization skills" and "Learn essential manners."</p>

<h3>Programs described on the Orland Park page</h3>

<p>Three are described at length: puppy training covering "potty training, crate training, manners, no barking, no chewing, and more"; board and train, presented as "an ideal program for most dogs because it allows your dog to live with us and practice a lifestyle"; and private lessons, "a wonderful way to work with a professional dog trainer one-on-one without the distractions of other people or dogs." The same page adds that the academy "provides a number of programs to accommodate your dog's needs&ndash; we offer boarding, doggy daycare, dog rehabilitation, puppy training camps, and customized training that consists of behavior modification and problem-solving," and that boarding is "offered exclusively to our dog training clients." It says every dog gets "a free evaluation from one of our dog training behavioral specialist" before training starts, that the company provides "continued support and a life-time follow up guarantee," and it claims that "In as little as 10 days, you and your family can have the perfect dog!"</p>

<h3>Method and company background</h3>

<p>The stated method is a pack model: the page says the training "uses your dog's natural pack member instinct to create a healthier, happier, more balanced dog," and that the academy helps "re-establish the natural pack mentality of your dog by encouraging appropriate socialization and interaction with other dogs." The about page says "Midway Dog Academy was founded in 2007, in Chicago, Illinois," that it is "now located in San Diego, Los Angeles, Nashville, Chicago, and Raleigh North Carolina," and that it works through "an exclusive network of dog trainers and pet professionals that we have partnered with," credited with "over 30 years of accumulated training experience." The about page also states that the company refers veterinarians, trainers, sitters, walkers and groomers, so a booking in Orland Park may be handled by a partner rather than by the company directly.
