HI Quanto and Lauren,

In Chicago proper I know of a great trainer. She works with reactive/aggressive dogs, and also does protection classes, works with a ton of GSD's and Belgians... I can pass her info along if you like.

Lauren, I know the trainer I just mentioned takes her dogs to the Tops obstacle course too...

I go to the German Shepherd Dog Training Club of Chicago in Hanover Park. It's only $6 per drop in class and they will work with you and help address any behavioral issues at no extra cost. One of them evern came to my house for 4 hours free of charge. We had 4 other trainers before this and payed almost $800 and all they would do was teach her tricks that she already knew (even though we specifically asked to have these issues addressed.)

TOPS in Grayslake is really good......ask for Jody, she is an excellent trainer and has trained/titled several dogs in the sport of Schutzhund...and trains the Police K9's serviced through TOPS.
Paula & Alex (owners of TOPS) are really good people, and have been involved with servicing the Police Depts in the area for many years.

Hello, someone on here sent me a link to this thread...

Thanks for the props, Josh!

My name is Jennifer Hack, owner of Dynamic Dogs Inc., I'm in Chicago on the near-north side (by Lincoln Park), we do obedience, behavior issues, and we have protection training with a regional-level Schutzhund helper, he's titled 2 of his GSD's to SchH3 with high scores, and has had many clients at high levels. We have a lot of great client testimonials and more info can be found on our website.

I will also second (or third :-)) recommendation of Jody Turcotte, she has a lot of experience in GSDs.
