Dog Training in Oswego, IL
Training That Lasts brings professional, relationship-focused dog training to Oswego families. Build a stronger bond with your dog through proven methods that create lasting change—not just temporary fixes.
Real Training for Real Life in Oswego
Whether you're walking your dog along the Fox River Trail, visiting downtown Oswego, or navigating the busy sidewalks near Route 34, our training helps your dog stay calm, focused, and connected to you in every situation.
We work with Oswego dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments—from eight-week-old puppies just learning the basics to adult dogs who need help with pulling, reactivity, or anxiety.
Our approach goes beyond teaching commands. We help you build the kind of relationship where your dog looks to you for guidance, creating lasting change that makes life together more enjoyable.
Group Training at Paws on Main
We host regular group training sessions at Paws on Main in the heart of downtown Oswego. These 90-minute sessions combine structured obedience practice with real-world socialization—your dog learns to maintain focus while other dogs, people, and distractions are present.
Group training is perfect for dogs who need to practice around distractions or owners who want ongoing socialization opportunities after completing private training.

Training Where Oswego Lives
Real dog training happens in real places—not just training facilities. We take dogs to Oswego locations like downtown Main Street, local pet-friendly patios, and busy shopping areas to practice obedience in the environments where it actually matters.
When your dog can maintain focus while walking through a crowded farmers market or sitting calmly at an outdoor restaurant, you know the training has taken hold. That's what we build together.
Oswego's growing community means more stimulation for your dog—more people, more dogs, more distractions. Our training prepares your dog to navigate all of it with confidence.

"Tyler took the time to listen to our concerns and boarded Bodhi for two weeks. His patience, clear communication, and positive reinforcement methods not only taught Bodhi better behaviors but also equipped us with the tools and knowledge to continue the training effectively at home. Leash walks are now enjoyable, he calms down when asked, and holds his potty."
"We had such a great experience with Tyler! He came to our home for a three-hour session and was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. As puppy parents, we had a lot of questions—and Tyler answered every one with care and clarity. These changes have made a huge positive impact on our daily lives."
