The Urban Hound's Treat & Training Trike!

Boston’s premier luxury daycare, hotel, spa and training facility for dogs, The Urban Hound will be taking their Treat & Training Trike to various public parks around Boston and holding Treat and Training Seminars to teach dog owners a few tips for their furry friends.

Urban Hound University’s master dog trainer, Nick Miller and trainer Ashley Moschella will be traveling around Boston and parking their treat and training trike at a different Boston park each Thursday for the rest of the summer.  There, they will host hour-long informational sessions, teaching dog owners about a different tail-wagging topic each week. Dog owners will be able to follow the trike via the Urban Hound’s Facebook and Twitter pages and need only bring their prized pooch to the designated location for this free doggy training session.   

Some upcoming Treat and Training Seminar topics include:
