Our Take
Good Spirited K9 is run by Douglas and Brandi Walker from Union Street, and their website pitches dog training that truly works. Rather than group classes in a big-box store, the couple specializes in immersive programs: private in-home training, where they work with you and your dog in the environment where problems actually happen, and stay-and-train programs, where the dog boards with them for focused work. They also offer pet sitting across central Illinois and sell branded merchandise. For a new puppy, a rescue with leash reactivity or a dog that won’t come when called, that personalized approach can save months of frustration. The FAQ page answers common questions, and the phone number is (815) 324-2788. Ask about program length, follow-up sessions and the training methods used before signing up.
