Canine Wake Up is a terrible business run by a terrible man. I looked into finding a trainer and instead, thanks to THOROUGH searching on the internet (WHICH INCLUDED ALL OF THE UNFILTERED REVIEWS ON YELP WHICH YOU CAN FIND BY CLICKING ON THOSE RESULTS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE) and word of mouth, I am so thankful I did not make that call. I will never take my dog here and NEVER recommend him to anyone. Please, please do NOT use this man as a trainer. There are so many other trainers to choose from who do not beat animals.
Here are just a few examples of what other have written (in case you miss clicking on those "filtered" results Dan has manipulated to appear like a legit trainer):

Dan Morgan is a f*king a*hole
who just beat his dog at a fund raiser for dogs this afternoon. His dog
peed on the floor, hey accidents happen! So Dan the so call great dog
trainer proceed to kick and choke his dog who was in a pinch collar in
front of several people who were there in support of rescue dogs! Would
you really want to use Dan Morgan as a trainer knowing he beats his own
dog?? There are legal actions for people like this, I use that term
loosely that he is a human being~

This guy is a monster. Saw him
at a seminar. OMG! This guy kicked this poor dog, kept yanking the dog
up off the ground with a leash and choking him. Then told another
woman to" stay away from his dog, because his dog was an a*****e" This
dog was not his personal dog. There was a police report filed on this
guy. Please don't take your dog to this guy. Physically abusing a dog
is not the proper way to train your loved companion.

Please read this all the way
through and share/RT as much as possible. This s**t needs to be stopped
now. There are too many people that have no business in this field.
My
dog dixie was killed by a well known trainer a few years ago,
coincidentally by a man named Dan. Her loss completely ruined my life.
It's a very long story that really strengthened my views on animal
cruelty and proper care for them. I exposed that guy for what he is (an
animal abuser) and he is now out of business forever.
Today I
have a first hand eyewitness account of a man named Dan Morgan, a dog
trainer that operates a business in Chicago (Franklin Park) under the
name CANINE WAKE UP (http://caninewakeup.com),
abusing a dog under his care at an adoption event. When the dog that he
was responsible for training peed on the floor, Dan Morgan repeatedly
kicked the dog in the stomach, lifted the dog off the ground by his
PRONG collar choking him, and called him an a*hole before dropping him
to the ground. Many people witnessed it and have been trying to do
something to help but haven't gotten far enough. I decided to try and
call him and talk to him about it and of course he didn't answer. I left
him a message asking about his rates to train dogs and could not help
asking if the choking and name calling were an extra charge. About 30
minutes later I received a phone call from him threatening me with
violence and calling me a "F*KING FA*OT". He claimed to be more of man
then I will ever be and basically challenged me to prove it. I told him
I will make sure I get the word out about him to which he laughed and
said nobody can hurt his business because he has been doing this for 25
years. He says when a dog is bad they need to be punished like that, and
that's how he does it. He also said its a good thing the dog didn't pee
on his wife's leg or it would have been way worse. When he realized I
wasn't some dog that was intimidated by his crap he tried to end the
conversation. His last words were basically daring me to try and do
something about it. While I would love to go choke the s**t of this guy
and hurt him gravely, let's do this right and make sure he can't
continue to harm animals. If he would like to dispute any of these
claims (choking the dog, kicking the dog, calling me a "f*king fa*ot",
threatening me, or saying his business was unbreakable) I will gladly
pay for a lie detector test for him out of my own pocket. If he denies
any of the accusations then let this scumbag prove it. There are too
many people that think dog training is an easy way to make money.
Unfortunately when they have our pets in their hands there is nobody to
make sure they are treating them correctly.
Please spread the
word on this guy and let's make sure he can't hurt another animal. I've
got my checkbook right here to pay to let him defend himself under a lie
detector test. The ball is now in his court to defend his horrible
actions.
Waiting for your response..

One Tail at a Time - look it on on facebook about this guy
Unfortunately
today at our Mutts and Mimosas event we witnessed something extremely
disturbing. A man named Dan Morgan, who is a trainer for "Canine Wakeup"
abused his dog in front of all of us. His dog peed indoors and Dan
kicked him and then repeatedly yanked on the leash while his dog wore a
prong collar (that was placed on his neck inappropriately and in a
fashion that could cause serious injury). The dog screamed and cried
repeatedly. It was disgusting and heartbreaking. We attempted to get the
dog from him, but were unable. We, with representatives from Alive
Rescue, will make sure we report this to all the necessary
authorities... but we urge you to PLEASE NEVER use Canine Wakeup and
make sure that everyone you know avoids this horrible "trainer".

It's fantastic how someone who has never worked with you can Claim such bad things about your business. I think the hoopla over this incident is too funny. The correction I gave this dog was blown way out of proportion by people that never have worked or saved hard dogs. Hector was a special case. I took him from the shelter because he was passed by all other rescues because he was a difficult dog who in my eyes was kind of an a*****e. Now if you met him after many months of working with him you'd say he was an angel. You may not agree with my style but I'm honest and fair with not only my clients but dogs as well. There was maybe 7 people around and each eyewitness has a different story. The police came out to my place and saw a happy dog and concluded I was no monster. if it's warranted I will correct my dog Same as my child. I don't care who is around. The price of having integrity can hurt but what can you do. What all of those people forget to mention is that for 3 hours prior they all told me how well behaved my 2 dogs were at this function and also the small guy Frosty whom a rescue there said they can help place cried and screamed as they took him out the door. Look up West Loop Dog club on meetup.com and find some of the reviews of our training classes Or come meet me before making snap judgements from others who have never met or worked with me!
Also bob from my chemical romance was taken up on his challenge and never came through!!!! That's a fact. Believe me I called, texted, even tweeted him.
Thats all I have. Have a fantastic day.

I don't care whether he is guilty or not that is true. As for being a troll, I will take that as a compliment. I have been reading this site for a long time and I am tired of people bitching and moaning over the stupidest things and I hate people who will not take responsibility for themselves. In your case, you just pissed me off because you are posting about something you don't know anything about. You were not involved in any of the issues you post. The only reason you are posting is to further ruin someones reputation. As I said I don't care whether he is guilty of the charges because that is not why I am responding. I probably do have to much time on my hands but so do you.

You state you don't care yet you keep coming back. If the owner of this site has a problem with my post, he can remove it. Until then, your time might be better wasted trolling other posts.

Why are you posting here?

You were not ripped off by this company or person. So why are you reporting him on this site. You have no first hand experience with this. You are just posting the same reports that are on other sites. This is not an animal abuse site. I don't know whether there is any truth to your posting or not and frankly I don't care. You don't either. This is not the site to post this and all you are doing is posting this garbage to where it does not belong.

If its true. This man has a police report filed against him by a Chicago organization (with many witnesses) for animal abuse.

I smell a libel lawsuit
AUTHOR: Joshua - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, February 08, 2012
By your own admission you have never used this person and have no first hand knowledge on this person or business. You have read other peoples opinion and decided to re-post them on this site. I love animals and own quite a few and take good care of them and I am happy that people that mistreat get whats coming to them but that is not the case here. You personally have no proof of the reports that you felt the need to re-post. Personally I hope you get sued for libel and if what is said is true then I would hope that he gets whats coming to him as well.
