About The Fine Canine Dog Training & Boarding

<h2>The Long Grove location of a long-running Chicago-area training company</h2><p>This is The Fine Canine's Long Grove address, 5129 RFD, one of three the company lists alongside Elmhurst and Northbrook. The company describes itself as serving "the Chicago, Illinois metropolitan area since 1999" and providing "dog training, boarding and daycare services to individuals and talent agencies based on positive methods of instruction." Its published service area from Long Grove reaches Kildeer, Barrington and Barrington Hills, Hawthorn Woods, Buffalo Grove, Vernon Hills, Lake Zurich, Lincolnshire, Deerfield, Arlington Heights, Wheeling and Palatine.</p><h3>What is taught</h3><p>Obedience runs at beginning, intermediate and advanced levels for dogs of any age, size or breed, described as "teaching a dog to respond reliably to whatever command its handler gives." Performance training covers agility, rally obedience and trick training. Therapy training prepares dogs and handlers for animal-assisted therapy visits, and the company provides AKC Star Puppy, Canine Good Citizen and Community Canine registrations plus Pet Partners registration for dogs that complete its approved therapy program.</p><h3>Boarding School</h3><p>Boarding is on a property the site describes as "Situated on several acres," run as a home environment, with the option to combine the stay with training: "Enroll them in our Boarding School and we'll teach them good manners too!" The site says its board and train programs "produce the best results and take all the effort out of having a well-trained dog."</p><h3>Team and experience</h3><p>The about page credits the trainers with "over 40 years of combined experience in training, behavior modification, community education, and service," and lists former mentees now running their own training careers. Monica Bedrosian is named as Professional Dog Trainer, Behavior Counselor and Founder, and Aimee Schilling as Professional Dog Trainer and Behavior Counselor. Monica's own statement on the site sets out the method: "My methods are non-abusive, very effective, and have been honed over many years of training dogs, from obedience to film work."</p>
