Does the Board & Train program appeal to you, but you don’t want to leave your dog overnight? If so, then the Day & Train program is for you!

Once a week, drop your dog off in the morning for a professional trainer to train your dog at the training center, parks, pet stores, etc. Throughout the day you will get video updates of your dogs progress. At the end of the day, pick them up and you will get instructions on how to work with your dog throughout the next week. You’ll want to spend some time reinforcing what your dog learned, then drop them off again the following week for more training.

You also receive lifetime training with this package – private lessons and group classes as needed for the remainder of your dog’s life.

Imagine having a dog that garners compliments everywhere they go. Each of our personally tailored Private Lesson programs will help you and your dog become a team to move beyond behavioral problems and develop impulse control, confidence and attention.

Tony has been working with dogs his entire life. He grew up training hunting dogs with his family in Rural Michigan.

Tony moved to Chicago in 2012 and it was the first time he was without a dog. After 6 months of dog longing he picked up his Husky, Thor. Thor would be Tony’s introduction into the Sit Means Sit family. They started off as clients and Tony remembered just how much passion he had for training.

Now Tony is committed to sharing his knowledge and skills to everyone and anyone that would like to grow their relationship with their dog.

“Let me be the first to say all dog trainers are not alike. I have been to many trainers in the past but none like Downtown Dogs Chicago, with its owner/trainer, Ari Fleishman. What I noticed right away was the extensive knowledge that Ari has obtained. He has trained under some of the most renowned dog trainers, but what makes him different is that he created his own unique style. Ari has a special gift. He is very good at reading dogs. All dogs are not the same and ONE training method will not work for all dogs, so with my dog he customized the training just for him….”


“Chicago is very lucky to have some one of Ari’s abilities, experience, and dedication offering his training services to the public. I have met a lot of professional trainers and the level of his ability to read and understand dogs is exceptional which is the key to solving any training or behavioural issues.”
