About
Our approach is innovative, interactive and customized. Our program allows for flexibility and takes into account that your dog may have more drive one day than the next, and we allow our sessions to accommodate that. We work WITH you to help you teach your dog. Our program also offers a lifetime guarantee of callbacks and the opportunity to attend any of our group classes at your convenience for as long as you would like. This offers you an opportunity to take what you've learned in your personal sessions, come to a group setting and learn from others and socialize your canine. We are truly unique. OUR MISSION: TO PROVIDE ETHICAL, PROFESSIONAL HIGH LEVEL TRAINING SERVICES TO THOSE SEEKING AN ENRICHED RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR CANINE AND A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE CANINE THINKS, ACTS AND REACTS THROUGH PERSONALIZED, INDIVIDUALIZED TRAINING PROGRAMS FOCUSING ON HUMANE EDUCATION AND POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT. The opportunity to work with such a variety of dogs and people. We work with any breed... 7 lb. small breeds to 100+ lb Great Danes. The diversity in our training makes all of it enjoyable and the ability to bring pet owners some calmness and happiness in situations they thought were impossible is great.

Woodlawn canine academy is a wonderful dog training facility. Tony is an amazing trainer. He not only traines your dog he also traines the owner to be the best handler they can be. He customized my training sessions to be exactly what's right for me and Logan ( my malinois). Logan has grown and matured so much since working with tony sometimes I can't believe how for we have come with his obedience in such a short time. I was so impressed and happy with the obedience package I purchased that I went on and signed up for the protection package with tony. I have had so many countless compliments on how well behaved my dog is from family and strangers on hikes. My cousin recently began working with tony because he saw how Logan has changed over time. Connie and tony make a wonderful team. They work together to give their clients the best experience possible. I very highly recommend this company for any and all of a persons dog needs.

Tony is pretty much a genius. What a fantastic company with true caring and insight not only for the dogs but for the people who love them. We've only just begun our work, but this is the most hope we've had for getting our dog trained and happy. Looking forward to what is ahead.

Woodlawn is amazing. Both my dogs are in the Woodlawn program. They are both very different and therefore are very different to train but Tony is so great with both of them. I get complements on my dogs behavior every time I bring them out somewhere. Tonys way of training is to train both you and your dog which ensures that you have a life long relationship with your dog. I can't say enough about Woodlawn!

I looked for a trainer for a year before I found Woodlawn Canine Academy. I'm so glad I found them! I love that they come to the house and then as my dog improved he got to participate in the group classes. It was also great that I was getting an experienced trainer with such a great resume. Tony has been training for many years and it shows. His positive approach and willingness to work around my schedule and needs made a huge difference in the success we had in training. I've been through the retail training and had even had two other private trainers for a while. I learned quickly that finding the cheapest trainer isn't going to get me the best results. You get what you pay for and Woodlawn Canine is worth every penny! My husband, me and my kids and our Lilly would recommend them to anyone!

I had been contemplating additional obedience training for my very energetic seven year-old German Shorthair/English Pointer mix, Watson, when I discovered Tony Gordon of Woodlawn Canine Academy while at the Arlington Park Pet Expo in March 2015...and I knew that I had found the right trainer! I watched Tony doing informal mini demonstrations with his dog, Echo. I also spoke with Connie about dog training and the programs offered by Woodlawn. I am very happy that Watson and I signed up for the private training at my home! As part of the training Watson and I have begun to attend the group sessions as well. Not only is Watson being trained, but I am also learning how to handle my dog (yes, I am also being trained!), which is an important and integral part of the whole training process. Training, which involves both corrections and positive reinforcement, is a commitment and ongoing for us between scheduled sessions with Tony. Watson no longer pulls on his leash during walks and that is only one of his accomplishments. I am just completely amazed with some of the other things that Watson does or does not do since we began training! I just gotta say that Tony is a caring and dedicated trainer! I am one happy Woodlawn Canine Academy client! :D
