The Midwest Skijorers Club is your go to source for all dog powered sports training and problem solving.
Does your dog lose focus on the trail?
Does your dog lack enthusiasm when the harness comes out?
Does your dog have a slack tug line when you are skiing? Would you prefer to be in the Snug Tug Club?
Does your dog stop and sniff things on the trail ?
Does your dog visit with other dogs on the trail rather than staying focused and passing them?
Are you wondering, aside from saying a command how do train your dog a command
Is your dog chase dependent ? What to do about it?
Are you wondering, aside from saying on-by and hoping and praying, how are you going to ensure interference free passing.
Are you wondering how you know if your dog is ready for a race? What race? Why ?
We teach you how to solve these and many other issues. Join us for a training session and we will turn your frustrating runs into enjoyable outings for you and your pet. Classes are kept small in order to provide you with specialized one-on-one training.
If you are new to dog powered sports join us for a beginner training session (we provide the gear for the day). This is a great way to see if the Dryland and Skijoring sports venues are of interest to you and your canine pal.
Bring your dog and we will teach YOU how to teach YOUR dog using positive training method with certified dogpower sports trainers. Learn in a relaxed, friendly and fun atmosphere. No gimmicks, no sales pitch, just honest information.
After your initial class you may join us for our practice group "HONE YOUR SKILLS" sessions where you will get together with others of your same experience level for fun and training tips.
