Everybody is great! They are a trusted partner who empowers me with the tools and training I need to be a responsible dog owner. Our dog Brice stayed for a month for boarding & training. Definitely recommend Dogstyle Inc for your boarding and training needs! More...

I met Jeff on Edisto Island at Georgia K9's Tracker School. After we finished the school, I began taking private obedience lessons from him and Collin. Originally I was just interested in the basics, a reliable heal and recall. As my Dog is a SAR mantrailing K9, I wasn't originally looking for anything fancy. That changed tremendously quickly as I (and my dog) found out how much fun it was, achieving competition level healing and incredibly snappy basic commands. Moreover, he taught me how to train my own dog, and I have used this skill to teach right side healing and a whole slew of other behaviors that were tremendously rewarding for both me and my dog.As I wanted my K9 to do detection, I trusted Jeff to work with me to do the imprinting of my dog on cadaver and Jeff was masterful at that.It should also be noted that Dogstyle, Inc. serves as Georgia K9's Chicago Branch and Georgia K9 has the best mantrailing program in the country.Dogstyle is the only place I trust for boarding and grooming, even though it is an hour away from my house.

Everyone at Dogstyle Inc. is very courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. Jeff Hankanson has put in years of work, experience, and has the accreditation of his achievements in the canine world, in which few have achieved in so little amount of time and is not stopping anytime soon. Jeff and his staff will work with you and help problem solving any issues that you may have with your canine partner. If there is ever an issue that they haven't came across, they will do their due diligence, research, and steer you in the right direction and try and help you what ever you need help in.Due to the training and knowledge that I had received, my canine and I were a successful police canine unit in the field of law enforcement. When off duty and need to leave town, I trust no other company better to board my partner than at Dogstyle Inc. Family owned and family trusted. More...

Jeff Hankanson is hands down one of the best dog trainers in Illinois. As a member of law enforcement, I can confirm Jeff is not only trustworthy with your animal, but an extremely nice and caring person. Jeff cares for every dog that is trained or stays within his facility. My German Shepherd is very nervy, and I have had to board him at their facility when going on vacation. They provided me with a follow up report and even provided Zeus with his own room because he had so much anxiety. Jeff continues his education and travels across the United States learning from some of the best trainers in the world. This is obvious when seeing his own personal trained dogs, and his constant success in the industry. Great dog trainers are extremely hard to find seeing as the industry is very unregulated. If you are reading this, trust me you will NOT be disappointed with the dog training received. The service and training you receive is like nothing else in the industry. I have been around hundreds of dogs & trainers while serving in Law Enforcement, and none of which compare to Jeff. I truly hold Jeff to one of the highest standards, and he is hands down one of the best trainers in Illinois. It is sad to see some competitors in the industry and others making up fictitious reviews for their own personal gains. As someone who has very high morals and values, I would not trust Jeff if he did not hold those same values. Do not believe any fictitious reviews read. More...

I love everything about this place! My Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy spent 6 weeks there for their Board and Train Program. Prior to training I had a consultation with Jeff and learned more about dogs in the one hour I spent with him than I ever knew. During the training Conrad did an awesome job training him, training me to work with him, and coming to our home to follow up. Since then I have boarded my boy at Dogstyle Inc at least 3 times. He comes home healthy, happy, and clean. The owner Heidi is so knowledgeable and goes out of her way to answer all my questions, offer advice, and cares SO much for the dogs. This place is 30 min from my house, but definitely worth the drive. FYI, the best way to contact them is through email. I have always gotten quick responses that way. More...

No Bull saved us years ago after we adopted a rescue that had fear issues. They were patient and so educational. My dog did two weeks of boot camp with them after Jeff came to our home to do an evaluation. Both my husband and I learned so much from Jeff and his crew. I'm forever grateful. If you have a dog with issues (who doesn't), go see them. They will help and teach you what you need to know to be a good pet parent. More...

I cannot speak highly enough of the group of people at Dog Style. We lost Bailey, our Yellow Lab/Greyhound, in October 2014 - she was 14 1/2 and an incredibly sweet dog. It took us until almost Christmas to get to the point we could think about adopting another dog, and when we did we got Gracie - a one-year old American Bulldog mix. She was a rescue who wasn't house trained and was a ball of energy. I think "shell shocked" is a good description of how we felt with this whirlwind in our life. Then we found Dog Style ... Heidi was a huge part of successfully house training Gracie and saving our sanity. She gave us a plan and an understanding of how dogs think. For the energy and training we needed Lauren and the entire team of people at Dog Style. Gracie is on the path to being AKC Canine Good Citizen certified and everyone at Dog Style is contributing to making this a reality. It takes a village to raise a child and to raise an exceptional dog. Gracie was pretty great all by herself, but the effort, attention and understanding of what a dog is and isn't is allowing Gracie to be a truly awesome dog. Thank you to everyone at Dog Style because you are all contributing. More...
