Best training and doggy daycare there is! Staff is awesome and love your puppy just as much as you do! And not to mention, they come how exhausted from all the fun!

My guy loves this place. We did the training here which was a life saver. Now he goes to the daycare they offer a few times a week and gets groomed there as well.

Highly recommend. We have a German Shepherd puppy, which is an alpha dog. We thought about taking her back to the Breeder. After working with Ocean at WoodBeach Palms, she is a completely different dog. Just a great passionate trainer Ocean is Woofbeach Palms has a keeper for training

This review is for Woof Beach generally but also for our trainer Cameron.We hired Woof Beach for the lifetime dog training package. Our initial experience was decent, but not amazing. We came back a few years later (years because it was in the covid window) for a general refresh since we had the lifetime package. Our experience on the second round was amazing and very productive. Cameron was our training lead and he was insightful, generous with his time, and efficient in teaching our dog --- and as importantly, us. We'd recommend woof Beach and the great crew that works there, and specifically want to give a shout out to Cameron.

My family has brought our last three dogs to Woofbeach and I will continue to do so in the future. The staff is great and I have definitely seen huge amounts of improvement in our dogs after they go through the training. Our puppy still loves when we bring him here for daycare too :)

Our 2 year old rescue was a sweet but scared little lady when we decided to bring her in for training. Justin and Ocean are the absolute best and transformed our beagle into a much more confident and happy girl. We also use Woofbeach for daycare and that staff is equally terrific. Justin and Ocean love to check on her during daycare visits and her tail wags nonstop when she sees them! And don't miss out on their wonderful grooming services! Rachel is a master craftswoman and cares about our dog like she was her own! We LOVE this place!

Justin and Ocean are fantastic!!! I am now able to safely take my high energy lab on walks and I’m not embarrassed to have company over.

We’ve used Woofbeach for two of our pups. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. Love everyone there, Justin and Ocean have been fabulous!

I paid $2,800 for advanced off leash training, only to receive back a dog at the end of 2 months that still could not walk on a leash without pulling. I was told by Woof Beach trainers to continue her training at home by keeping her in a pinch collar all hours of the day, giving her corrections. I attempted to use the collar as instructed by trainers who I thought trustworthy. After 3 hours into my dog wearing this collar at home, she became lethargic, vomited, and had diarrhea the next morning. This was not what I signed up for, and I in fact only enrolled in this program after a Woof Beach manager agreed with me at orientation my dog would not need to be trained in a pinch collar. I was told by the district manager of all locations around the Chicagoland area that my dog becoming ill was normal. The extensive use of these collars was justified with lighthearted analogies, but the problem is these words don't align with best practices found anywhere. After doing my own research, it is a quick google search on "the correct way to use a pinch collar", which trainers at Woof Beach call "Herm collars" after the manufacturing company, to learn that it is black and white how long dogs should be wearing these collars- which is no longer than a training session- between 15 minutes to an hour. Yet Woof Beach advises owners to keep dogs in these collars all day. I have been reassured of my lifetime warranty and that my dog can be trained using other methods. What this company doesn't seem to want to acknowledge is that I would NEVER have paid for this service if it weren't for being lied to by their employee from the start. I wouldn't knowingly give a penny to or associate with a dog training business that is so against best practices and cruel. I was impressed at orientation seeing 20+ dogs sitting on beds without moving, thinking they must be working magic at this place. I was excited to train my dog with Woof Beach! I now know dogs at Woof Beach are being trained under endless hours of corrections and punishment, like circus animals. These methods are beyond inappropriate. No other pet owners should be told their dog becoming sick is normal when it is these training methods that are not normal. And no pet should experience this unless with full transparency and understanding by owners. I was not given that opportunity as I was lied to from the start.And the solution of this company is that I continue training with them. No thank you.

Our dog Bowser took classes with Adam. What a great change Bowser made, thanks to Adam and staff. I had a free refresher class with Bowser and Adam. That's great they have lifetime refreshers!

Woofbeach provides outstanding training for dogs. Our doodle puppy has been happily and expertly trained by Adam Cameron, a superb trainer who obviously loves and cares about dogs.
