Our Dog Training Services

Private One-on-One Training Personalized attention focused entirely on your dog's specific needs. Perfect for dogs with serious behavioral issues or owners who want accelerated results.

Puppy Training & Socialization Start your puppy off right with foundational obedience, proper socialization, and life skills that prevent problems before they start. From potty training to bite inhibition, we cover everything your puppy needs.

Basic & Advanced Obedience Teach your dog reliable commands like sit, stay, come, heel, and down. We move beyond basic commands to create dogs who listen in distracting environments—not just in your living room.

Leash Training & Pulling Stop the constant pulling and enjoy peaceful walks. We teach loose-leash walking so you can actually control your dog instead of being dragged down the street.

Behavioral Modification Address problem behaviors including excessive barking, jumping on guests, destructive chewing, separation anxiety, door dashing, and counter surfing. We get to the root cause and fix it.

Recall & Off-Leash Reliability Train your dog to come when called—every time. Essential for safety and freedom, whether at the park, on trails, or in your backyard.

Aggression Management Professional help for dogs showing aggression toward people, other dogs, or specific triggers. We create safe, structured protocols to reduce reactivity and rebuild confidence.

In-Home Training Sessions We come to you. Training in your home allows us to address behaviors in the exact environment where they happen, making results faster and more effective.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Dog Training in Freeport

What training methods do you use?

We use balanced, science-based training methods that focus on clear communication, consistency, and building a strong relationship between you and your dog. Our approach emphasizes positive reinforcement combined with structure and boundaries—teaching dogs what TO do, not just punishing what NOT to do.

How long does dog training take?

Every dog is different. Basic obedience typically shows significant progress within 4-6 weeks, while behavioral modification for issues like aggression or severe anxiety may take 2-3 months. We'll give you a realistic timeline during your initial consultation.

Do you offer guarantees?

We guarantee our commitment to your dog's success. Training requires consistency from both the dog and the owner, so results depend on following through with homework and practice. We'll be with you every step of the way to ensure you have the tools and support you need.

What areas do you serve?

We provide professional dog training throughout Freeport, Rockford, Lena, Galena, Monroe, and all surrounding areas in Stephenson County and Northwest Illinois. Contact us to confirm service availability in your location.

How much does dog training cost?

Pricing varies based on your dog's needs and the type of training program. Contact us for a free consultation and customized quote. Investment in professional training now saves you years of frustration and prevents costly behavioral problems down the road.

What age should I start training my dog?

It's never too early or too late! Puppies can begin training as early as 8 weeks old. Adult dogs and senior dogs can absolutely learn new behaviors—the saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" is a myth. We've successfully trained dogs of all ages.

Can you help with aggressive dogs?

Yes. Jeremy has extensive experience working with aggressive and reactive dogs. We conduct a thorough assessment to understand the triggers and root causes, then create a safe, structured rehabilitation plan. Safety is always our top priority.

WHY FREEPORT CHOOSES KASPER'S DOG TRAINING

Real Training That Actually Sticks

Looking for dog training in Freeport that delivers lasting results? We help frustrated dog owners regain control—whether your dog pulls on leash, ignores recall, or has you stressed every time guests come over.

No Gimmicks. No Endless Treat Dependency.

Many trainers create dogs who only listen when you have food in your hand. We teach dogs to respond reliably because they respect you and understand what's expected—not because they're waiting for a snack. This means you get a well-behaved dog in every situation: at home, on walks, at the vet, and everywhere in between.

Custom Training Plans for Your Life

We don't believe in cookie-cutter programs. From puppies learning the basics to older dogs with years of ingrained habits, we build training plans around your schedule, your goals, and your dog's temperament.
