Welcome to Marvelous K9, the last dog training company you’ll need in Chicagoland! Our goal is to help you live a happy and stress free life with your canine companion, regardless of age, breed, or temperament! We work with them all!

Our Approach:

At Marvelous K9, we believe in fostering a strong bond between you and your dog through fair, consistent guidance and effective techniques. Whether you have a brand new puppy or a dog with some more challenges, our specialized programs are designed to meet the unique needs of every dog and owner.


Why Choose Marvelous K9?

  Experienced Trainer: With 10 years of experience raising and training dogs and 7 years of experience in behavior modification, owner and head trainer Alyssa is dedicated to providing top-notch, personalized training to bring out the best in your dog.

  Balanced, effective techniques: We start every dog who joins our programs off with positive reinforcement techniques, bringing out their desire to work and keep them motivated through the whole process. We believe it’s important that all dogs perform during training because they WANT to, not because they feel they have no other choice. Once dogs have a clear and enthusiastic understanding of what we’re asking, we implement the other three quadrants of operant conditioning to deliver clear communication and unmatched clarity to ensure long lasting results, even after training is done!

  Tailored Programs: From basic obedience to behavior modification, we offer programs that cater to your dog's individual personality and your training goals.

Happy Clients

“I was able to keep my puppy because of Marvelous K9. My one year old Rottweiler was a sweet boy but has a very dominant personality, and weighs around 130 pounds. He had been through two trainers in addition to all the books I had read and training videos I had seen. The last one trainer he boarded with for one week and he told us Max was a lost cause and we should return him to the breeder. Alyssa was my last hope. All I can say as I hug my big lug, that I thank God for Marvelous K9 everyday!!!”

“Seamus went to Training with impulse control and guarding issues. Six weeks later, he came home to me, much more calm, controlled with his impulses, and no guarding issues. He learned excellent manners, and Alyssa trained him for positive behaviors I didn’t even consider. Very professional, and totally worth the time and money I spent on Seamus with Alyssa. I highly recommend her”

“Alyssa is wonderful! When I got my labradoodle I knew I wanted her to be well behaved and those puppy months really put me through it.. Alyssa listened to what was going on and we worked together to guide Porter to be the great dog she is now! I am so grateful for Marvelous K9 and where I am today with Porter. Boarding is also so wonderful and I feel confident sending my dog there with others that Alyssa has trained/works with because you know there are good, well-behaved dogs around yours. Your dog is in great hands at Marvelous K9.”
