Personal protection dogs are trained to provide security and protection to individuals or families. They are specifically trained to detect threats, deter potential attackers, and take appropriate action to keep their handlers safe. These dogs undergo extensive training to develop their obedience, agility, and strong protective instincts. They are trained to respond to commands, identify potential dangers, and act decisively when necessary. Contact us today to learn more about our personal protection training.
We are excited to begin offering individualized day school programs!
Our program is ideal for owners wanting their dogs to be exposed to different environments such as parks, stores, and city walks. Instead of an unstructured daycare , we maximize your dog’s play time through real world experiences and training.
Worried about your dog’s size or breed? K9 Driven makes sure to get to know every dog’s tempers, characteristics and habits before exposing them to any environment. We treat your dog as if it were one of our own.

“My dog Tango was an extremely reactive dog and I felt so lost! Cesar came to the rescue and taught me how to communicate with Tango and get his reactivity under control. I couldn’t be more pleased! He’s a brand new dog and I would recommend K9 Driven Chicago to everyone! ”
"Cesar is an awesome dog trainer! He taught me great training tips to get my hyper rescue under control on walks. She was a handful and very reactive on leash, but after just a few sessions with Cesar, I saw tremendous progress. I highly recommend him."
"Easy 5 stars, Cesar is great to work with and knew exactly how to handle our dog, who would frequently have problems interacting with other dogs. We started off concerned about the use of an E-collar, but Cesar manages it in a way that both us and our dog got comfortable with it very quickly. We saw massive improvements in only a few sessions. Definitely would recommend."
"Cesar was great! We were at wits end with our dog bailey. We had taken him to over 50 basic group classes and while they were good, it wasn’t what we needed for bailey. After our first lesson, we noticed a huge improvement and having just finished all our lessons, Bailey is a completely new dog. We look forward to referring Cesar and working with him in the future. Highly recommend."
"Our boy Raiden, is a head-strong and reactive male Doberman. I found myself struggling to tame that side of him through my obedience methods and experiences I've had with other dobes in the past. We met Cesar and did a series of weekly training sessions when I realized my version of obedience training wasn't going to work. Cesar told me "let's do a reset" and change Raiden's whole concept of training and communication. Through the K9 Driven training program, 4 weeks later Raiden blews us away. What a remarkable experience, to see his transformation! He was trained off-leash, and just a well-adjusted dog at 10 months old. Cesar - thank you deeply, life is better since you've trained Raiden. As a family we continue to learn and implement your methods and style regularly."
"I was looking for a good training program for our high energy border collie and thankfully we found K9 Driven. We were skeptical about the price and boarding our dog for 4 weeks with a trainer but it was definitely worth the cost in the end. My boyfriend and I were satisfied and learned a lot from Cesar. Our dog, Luna, is now 1 year old and can play happily at the park off leash and responds well to her recall all thanks to Cesar. Our dog is not perfect and neither are we, which is why I will be returning with K9 driven in the future. We are excited to have Luna improve her behavior as the years go by. Huge thanks to Cesar and his crew for making our life with our first dog enjoyable! "
"Cesar has worked wonders for our families Great Dane! Cesar makes training easy to understand and breaks it down in simple terms. We truly are so blessed to have found such a wonderful dog trainer. Our Great Dane is 1 1/2 old and has quite a lot of energy, Cesar shows us how to manage and redirect that energy in a positive way without our dog feeling as though he can’t have fun! If you are looking for a wonderful dog trainer look no further!"
"Thank you Cesar for providing such adequate training sessions for Champ. Feedback is always timely and positive. We appreciate it. Champ’s energy levels are super high, and it was super hard to get him through a walk because he would get easily distracted along the way and we struggled to take him out because he wouldn’t listen on command. Our biggest fear was not being able to walk champ with a newborn on our hands. Since his sessions, champ has successfully been able to listen on command and his walks have been a pleasant experience for all. We’ve also noticed his energy levels are more balanced and we couldn’t thank you anymore for that. This has been super helpful as well, with welcoming our little one to the pack! Champ has been amazing with her and is able to finally follow commands "
K9 Driven was working with my dog, Prince, while he was with his breeder/original family, and I am grateful to have been able to resume training upon bringing him home. It was clear Prince had a strong obedience foundation and working with K9 Driven really drove home how to clearly communicate with Prince. Cesar is highly knowledgeable and makes learning an integrated experience for the humans and dogs — training has been just as beneficial to me as it has been for Prince. Over the last eighteen months, my bond with Prince has been strengthened through play, trust, clear communication, and learning to understand his drive and motivation --- all because of our work with K9 Driven. Prince lights up the minute he sees Cesar, which is a testimonial in itself. We highly recommend K9 Driven!
"Best training experience! Cesar is so passionate about what he does and wants to share everything he knows with you so that you fully understand why he trains the way he does. He is the most patient trainer ever, which was so important with my dog, Frida, who is so shy and nervous around men. Cesar truly wants you to succeed and have the best relationship with your dog. I have been using all the great advice and information from our trainings everyday and the difference in Frida’s behavior and my patience is so significant! I appreciated Cesar most when we started the e-collar training. His reassurance and rationales helped me so much when feeling nervous about starting the training. Frida has learned so much and our relationship has been so much better after training with Cesar! I would definitely recommend him to anyone!"
