\nLora Bacharach and Brianna Rabine started North Country Paws for Obedience only three years ago and are already expanding into a second location.
\nThe partners purchased a 31.8-acre parcel on Route 4 in Hudson Falls. At the new site, they will be able to train more pets in a wider variety of skills while giving them better opportunities for socialization and healthy play, Bacharach said.
\nWhat started as a small obedience school moved seven months later across the street to a space four times larger at 1638 Route 9 in South Glens Falls.
\nSince then, \u201cwe were looking for a space to buy before the pandemic hit because we wanted to get farther away from the road,\u201d Bacharach said. \u201cThe current location limits the size of our classes as well as the services we can offer, such as off-leash training. Our long-term goal is always to accommodate our clients and the needs of the dogs.\u201d
\nBacharach said puppy preschool and training will continue at the Route 9 location for the foreseeable future. But the new space will be a \u201cK-9 enrichment center promoting healthy adventures and relationships\u201d between people and their pets, she said.
\nThere will be more room for boarding, training and rehabilitation. There is a pond nearby for introducing dogs to the water and plenty of space for agility training. There are also miles of hiking trails.
\nThe COVID-19 pandemic that forced people indoors turned out to be an unexpected \u201cblessing in disguise,\u201d Bacharach said. \u201cIt helped us re-evaluate the business and how to use our staff and time to be more efficient.\u201d
\nWhen it first hit and their doors were closed, Bacharach and Rabine got creative and started doing video training sessions.
\n\u201cThey were a big hit,\u201d said Bacharach. \u201cPeople signed up from all over the country.\u201d
\nBacharach said they will continue to offer virtual events and classes and may be hiring an events manager. The team is also planning to add more instructors, handlers and a groomer.
\nWhen New York went on PAUSE, many families decided to adopt pets. But as parents went back to work and kids back to school, some suffered from separation anxiety and other behavioral problems, she said.
\nFor that, Rabine \u201chas taken on more behavior cases perhaps due to the shut down,\u201d Bacharach said. \u201cSome people got dogs and puppies during isolation without really knowing what they were in for.\u201d
\nSome problems include hypersensitivity and aggression, which Rabine helps solve with consultations and private lessons.
\nA day program is available five days a week for dogs and puppies who have already gone through the private training or pre-school programs run by Paws for Obedience and who are now in need of management or maintenance, Bacharach said.
\nBacharach said she and Rabine \u201chave a great business partnership and complement each other with the same methods, but their own style.\u201d
\nThey both have certifications with American Kennel Club and the International Association of Canine Professionals. Visit paws4obedience.com for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
