Dog Training at Spirit of the North Kennels
Rehabilitation therapy for dogs with behaviour issues is offered using unique humane methods developed from the experience of many years of working with high energy racing sled dogs.
We have had success with severe aggression issues, separation anxiety, obsessive behaviour and many other, some times bizarre behaviours.
Therapy training is not obedience training, although there is some obedience training involved.
We have 4 basic sections to our therapy training.
#1 - controlled exercise
#2 - exposure to the problem
#3 - setting boundaries
#4 - love and affection for a job well done

Rehabilitation Success Story: Ebony
Ebony came to Spirit of the North Kennels with severe aggression issues towards humans and other dogs, as well as cats, horses, pretty much anything that moved. His condition was labeled as "Bataglia", or "out of control behavior", a label used when a dog is deemed to be un-saveable. Ebony would crash the fence of his pen with a roar if anyone or any dog came near the pen. A piece of plywood had to be used as a shield to feed, water, or clean his pen. It took a while to bring him around, but now Ebony has a home here for life and is used as a therapy dog for other dogs with aggression or other issues.
Rehabilitation Success Story: Jerry
Jerry is another dog, that like Ebony, came from a shelter with severe aggression issues. He has made huge strides to become the fine dog he is now.
