How to Train your CHINOOK

Training Your Chinook

The Chinook is a rare American sled dog breed known for its immense power and surprisingly calm, deeply affectionate temperament.

Key Training Tips:

• Harness Work: They were bred to pull. Teach them to pull a sled, cart, or engage in skijoring. It provides excellent physical and mental exercise.
• Leash Manners: Because they are bred to lean into a harness and pull, teaching loose-leash walking on a standard collar is essential and requires patience.

They are incredibly gentle and eager to please, making them highly trainable for dedicated owners.
