Dog Roar

Radius Training in Chicago

Off-leash control inside a 30 to 50 foot perimeter. Your dog stays close without a leash, every time.

Off-leash freedom inside a perimeter you can trust. Your dog stays inside a 30 to 50 foot radius around you, every time, without a leash. They can run, sniff, and explore, but they don't bolt. They don't chase. They don't blow past you when something interesting walks by.

This isn't a substitute for solid recall. It builds on it. We start with recall on a long line, then a tab, then off completely. By the end you can hike, walk in a park, or stand in your yard with no leash and your dog stays in your bubble.

What's included

  • Solid recall as the foundation, then proofed off-leash
  • 30 to 50 foot working radius around the handler
  • Long line, tab, and off-leash progressions
  • Real-world settings: yards, parks, hiking trails
  • Best paired with strong obedience and boundary work

Is radius training right for my dog?

It depends on what you need. The free consultation is built to figure that out. Ray Bhimani reads your dog first, then tells you honestly whether radius training fits or whether a different service is the better starting point. No upsell, no pressure.

How long does radius training take to see real results?

Most owners see meaningful change inside the first few sessions. The full program length depends on the dog, the goals, and the format you choose. Private lessons spread out over weeks. Board & Train compresses into 2, 4, or 6 weeks of full-time work. We tell you a realistic timeline at the consultation, not a sales number.
