We go over crate training, potty training, house breaking, proper exercise, as well as proper introductions and socialization with other dogs, people, and new environments. Any problems or concerns are covered completely with this popular lesson plan. Each session is 1 hour.
5 Manners Lesson
In home once a week lessons which lay a solid foundation of success for real life situations inside the home and in public. This lesson builds focus and value to whoever is holding the leash. We teach self control and eliminate any unwanted behaviors including: jumping, nipping, biting, barking, lunging, pulling on the leash, picking up dropped items and possible choking hazards, and of coarse running out of doorways. This lesson sets your dog up to be off leash around distractions and temptations, without being bothersome or getting into any mischief.

Get to Know The Dogman Himself
Chicagoland dog owners!
I’m Steve the Dogman, a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College, an AKC Evaluator, and certified aggression specialist. My training journey began in 2013, and it quickly became my calling. For over a decade I’ve volunteered for multiple rescues, humane societies, and non-profit organizations for one reason: to help dogs and their owners live better lives together.
Steve the Dogman, LLC was launched in 2023 in honor of my late mentor, Dave “the Dogman” Benson, to help carry on his legacy and mission of: “transforming lives with the power of the dog.”
Known by many for my skills in confidence building, aggression management, reliable obedience training, among other areas including owner education and dog safety protocols. My passion is helping dog owners build a more positive and understanding relationship with their dogs.
I proudly provide my Private Lessons, Virtual Zoom Lessons, and Board & Train programs throughout Northern Illinois and the Greater Chicagoland area. I look forward to helping many more dogs and families as possible in the years to come.
