Functional Obedience
Our training program goals are tailored to suit you and your dog. Training goals generally include on and off-leash obedience (including in high-distraction indoor and outdoor environments), proper leash/crate/household manners, proper social behavior around other dogs and people, and, if requested, bicycle/bikejoring training. Program duration depends upon the dog, their issues, your goals, and your commitment level. We provide you with the knowledge, skills, and ongoing support you need to maintain your dog’s training.
Please contact us to discuss which training program would be best for you and your dog.
Behavior Modification
Obedience and behavior modification often go hand-in-hand. That is, we will use structure, communication, and our relationship with the dog to address behavioral issues as we work towards obedience program goals. Some dogs may need very little behavior modification in order to achieve obedience training goals while others may require substantial time and effort on the behavioral side of things.
Once again, every dog (and human) is an individual; please contact us so we can discuss which training program would be best for you and your dog.
Bicycle/Bikejoring
We teach your dog to safely accompany you alongside your bicycle. Depending upon the dog and their ability/willingness to pull, we can also teach them to bikejor, meaning they wear a harness and help pull you while you pedal. Bikejoring is only performed on appropriate trails or places without cars. We ALWAYS keep dogs on the right side of the bike and on a short leash when accompanying us on the street. ***Dogs must be proficient or training towards proficiency in their leash-walking, obedience commands, and social manners before being trained on the bike.***
Dog Walking
Does your dog need exercise? We have two huskies, so we understand! We can take your dog for a typical walk around the neighborhood, off-leash on an appropriate trail with one or more of our own dogs (if trained off-leash), or for a bike ride (if trained on the bike). Please note that, if your dog currently pulls, we must be able to teach them to walk nicely on a leash in order to exercise them for you.
