Specializing in positive, tailored training for over 30 years in the South Loop of Chicago, Krista helps dogs of all ages overcome behavior challenges and master the basics. Established in 1998, Pet & Home Pros has remained a small, privately owned business and takes pride in maintaining meaningful and lasting relationships with each client, human or of a furry breed. We, at Pet & Home Pros, pride ourselves in providing the best care for you and your pet's needs. As the top pet care business, in the South Loop of Chicago, our mission is to help your furry friend be both physically and mentally healthy through training and exercise. We are recognized for our outstanding dog walking abilities, which all include complimentary behavior training reinforcement, and take pride in being able to walk dogs of all personalities, size, and age. Our behavior reinforcement training includes, but is not limited to, teaching your dog to not pull, take treats gently, not to jump, proper elevator etiquette, and to not eat things on the street. Krista Toth has always had a passion for pets. When she was only 11 years old she began to train dogs, she eventually went on to training and showing dogs professionally. After meeting so many people and their furry companions she decided to start her own dog walking and pet care business.

🐾 Training Tuesday: Athena’s building her foundation!

At just 4½ months, Athena is learning to respond to her name and “drop it”—two skills that make a big difference for focus and safety.

As Athena's First-Year Puppy Coach, Krista is helping Athena learn the basics she’ll carry with her for life. And she’s catching on like a champ! 🐶

🐾 Training Tuesday: A little step goes a long way!

Two of these pups have mobility limitations and need the stairs to get into the car. The other two? They’re joining the stair squad for a little enrichment! 🐶🚙

Practicing something new can build confidence and turn an everyday task into a fun learning opportunity.

At Pet & Home Pros, mobility limitations don’t mean missing out! We adapt our care to each dog’s needs so they can join the fun with comfort, confidence, and a little extra support. 💙

Different needs, same adventure—one paw at a time!

Always learning. Always training. Always striving to be better. 🐾

Next week, Ozar and I have the incredible opportunity to spend three days training with world-renowned IGP trainer and competitor Marko Koskensalo.

Marko has competed and podiumed at the highest levels of IGP worldwide and has decades of experience training and coaching dogs and handlers.

I’m excited to learn, challenge myself, and bring that knowledge back to the dogs and owners I work with every day.

Let’s do this, Ozar! 💪🏼🐾

Always Learning.
Always Training.

It’s only taken me a YEAR AND A HALF to teach Rocky the Pomeranian to do this. 😂👏

Rocky would like everyone to know that obedience is apparently optional when you’re this cute. 😂

But there’s actually a really good training lesson in this video.

Watch when Rocky pushes the button away like, “Okay, Krista ...... I’m done entertaining you.” 😂

That’s exactly when you don't quit.

Ask your dog to do it one more time, and end the training session on a positive note instead of Rocky deciding to give up and the training exercise was over.

This is where a lot of owners accidentally create problems. If your dog learns that walking away, refusing, or losing interest automatically ends the exercise, they can quickly learn, “Ohhh… THAT’S how I get what I want!

Keep sessions short, fun and fair—but whenever possible, you decide when the exercise is finished, not your dog.

And Rocky? He got paid for his hard work and was officially released from his exhausting 30-second career in obedience. 😂🐾

When the group photo is at 10:00 but nobody discussed the dress code.

One showed up in a tuxedo.
One came dressed for security.
One wore a red crop top.
And one clearly thought this was a modeling gig. 😂

Just another day with the Pet & Home Pros crew! ❤️🐶
