Diane is the founder and president of Animal Behavior Management, Inc. | Clixworld Boarding which has provided both dog training and dog boarding for St. Charles IL, Geneva IL, Batavia IL and surrounding areas. She has professionally bred, trained and shown dogs for 49 years, but she "began in dogs" as a young child showing her Miniature Poodle in local pet shows and parades. In 1971 she started Kushan Afghans, a show and breeding kennel as part of an international effort to preserve the mountain type of Afghan Hound.
We have had 50 years caring for show dogs, training dogs and now 20 years boarding other people's beloved pets! For reservations at the Inn, email clixworld@aol.com or call 630-365-5009. Since he was a small puppy, our Labrador Retriever has been a happy visitor to the Clixworld Inn and a student at the Training School.
We've used the Clixworld Inn for our dogs on several occasions. Every time we've felt completely comfortable that they are in a safe and secure environment. Our dogs are a little difficult to care for but we know they're in good hands at Clixworld. We can go on vacation knowing our dogs are safe and well cared for by two great compassionate dog lovers.
Please note that Diane has retired ONLY from dog training so that she can spend more time with Ron, their dogs and all of their wonderful doggie guests. We have been with Clixworld for over 18 months. We have been involved in the training aspect as well as the boarding. Both areas deserve a 10 on a scale of 1-10.

We were so lucky to have found Diane and Ron with our first German Shepherd pup, Max, back in 2002. After graduating from Diane's training class he was welcomed into their doggie retreat. When Max found a little sister she too was welcomed into the "family". Then they helped us work with a rescue Shepherd mix who had extreme trust issues with strangers, but was especially fond of Ron.

Now it's Gabby's turn and she loves to visit "Aunt Diane & Uncle Ron" whenever we can't include her in our travels. Without fail every dog that we've entrusted to their care has always been eager to return. You won't be disappointed - and more importantly, neither will your four legged child!

Diane and Ron are amazing and I highly recommend Clixworld. Our dog is our baby. It is a huge relief to know that he is taken well care of while we are away. He gets yard time to play and two folks who dote on him and treat him as their own. I looked at a number of boarding places before I found Clixworld, and I'm so glad that I found them! When my fuzzy kiddo gets excited to be there and wags his little stubby tail at the entrance, I know they are doing something really right. 100% recommend.

We have a 15 year old Shih-Poo. He has some anxiety issues. We would never board him anywhere else now that we've found Clixworld. Diane and Ron take such good, loving care of him. He is actually like a new dog when we pick him up.has more energy than ever! Their facility is also very clean, warm and welcoming. We never worry when Bluto is there. We know he's being treated as if he was their own!

We have had pug dogs for over 20 years and had never boarded our dogs and hence didn't take a real vacation for decades! I love my pugs more than my Netflix subscription but just couldn't bring myself to leave them with strangers. My vet of 20 years suggested I try ClixWorld. Ron and Diane are very experienced, dependable, knowledgeable and. dedicated.

They are also, thankfully, very strict about the health and safety expectations for every dog they take care of. It is a bit more expensive to do it The ClixWorld Way but it is absolutely a professional attitude that is more secure and safe for my pugs. One added benefit, our puppies had WAY LESS "accidents" in our house after a 10 day stay with Ron and Diane. And that, my friend, is worth everything!

We just used Chandlers' Boarding for our Saint Bernard Bear and they were excellent! We were nervous leaving Bear since we had never left him before but I can honestly say he enjoyed his time there! The owners. are extremely knowledgeable and caring about dogs and it shows. It was so nice to know that he was safe and being well cared for while we were gone. The room he was in was a good size for a big guy like him and he had plenty of time outside. I would highly recommend them and we will definitely be using them again.

We have been using Clixworld to board our dog for the past 8 years. He is eager to go and is spoiled rotten when he is there. The owners treat our pet like one of their own. The facility is clean, safe, and best of all the dogs get to go outside. We would highly recommend using Clixworld.

I have been bringing my dogs to Clixworld for over 10 years. The place is clean and they have a nice yard for the dogs to play in. The owners treat and care for my dogs like they do their own. I highly recommend their services. I have peace of mind when I drop them off that they are getting the best care.

Our dog has been going on vacation to Clixworld for over 10 years. We have always felt that she is in the best hands, with owners that truly know and care about her. They cater to her special needs at Clixworld, which allows us enjoy our own vacation without worrying about her well being. The health of all dogs is a priority, which is so appreciated. Nothing is more comforting than leaving your dog with true dog lovers!

We've been sending our dog to ClixWorld for almost 8 years, since he was a puppy. Every visit is seamlessly perfect, from drop off to pick up. Each special request, from pill pockets to ear checks, has been graciously handled. We appreciate all the love and attention that our dog receives while he stays at "camp." Health and safety are of the utmost importance to ClixWorld, and they care for the dogs as if each one is a family pet. We couldn't be happier. :

I have worked with Diane Chandler for over a decade and trust her with all of my four legged pals without reservation. Diane is intelligent, patient, trustworthy and hard working. We recently rescued a Great Pyrenees that most people would have given up on. He was almost uncontrollable and was very unpleasant to be around. With Diane's help he has made a tremendous turnaround!

He has gone from being completely unresponsive and untrained to a dog that is obedient, well-trained and very happy. All of us at Airborne Rescue Society are extremely grateful for her assistance.

We took 2 training classes & are so happy that there is someone in the area that actually knows what they are doing with animals. It was explained to us that they actually use behavior analysis & science based methods opposed to forcing a dog to do what you want. It feels good to know that my dogs actually *learn* the behaviors that we want out of them instead of having to yell & jerk my dogs around like we had to do at another training facility in our area.

Our dogs are so happy & well behaved now. Also, we have boarded our dogs with Diane quite a few times. They come home happy & healthy. Thanks for taking such good care of my dogs. Thanks so much! We recommend you to everyone we know!
