About Us

Founded in 2018, Dog Den Chicago is a small facility dedicated to the highest quality of care and training for dogs of all sizes. By limiting our intake, staff can spend time with each pup and get to know your dog’s individual personality, quirks, and habits. Group Play Sessions are always monitored by Dog Den staff members. Dog Den Chicago stands firmly behind balanced training methods and recognizes that it is the absolute best way to train a dog. Dog Den Chicago takes pride in being friendly, knowledgeable, and professional in all situations.

Owner and founder, Alexa has been working with dogs professionally since 2013. She has worked in a veterinary office, with rescue, in boarding/daycare, grooming, and training. However, it was her passion for training and boarding and dissatisfaction with other facilities that pushed her to start her own business. What started as a small operation, working with her partner Eddie out of their home, quickly outgrew that home setting. Opening a facility was the next step in being able to host and help more amazing dogs. With the help of family and friends, Alexa’s dream came true. Alexa and Eddie have been running Dog Den Chicago since its inception in 2018. They are dedicated to professionalism in the industry, continuing education to learn how to better serve their clients, and maintaining the highest standards in canine care.

The youngest members of the Dog Den team can sometimes be found hanging out with their mom or dad behind the counter. During pick up or drop off you may meet Aria and Meadow, Alexa, and Eddie’s daughter’s who are already dog-obsessed Alexa and Eddie have an Australian Shepherd named Koba and a mixed breed named Cali at home. Cali loves to use her nose and Koba will chase a ball for hours.
