Athos, a six year old Dachshund, has joined OffLeash SoCal for our Two Week Board and Train program. Athos comes to us knowing some commands, but not always following them. He pulls on the leash while walking, is leash reactive, excessively barks, and marks inside the house. Over the two weeks Athos will be working towards his off leash obedience and manners. Check in to see his progress!

Athos is getting settled in at my home. I introduced him to my pack. He was very nervous all the dogs. Athos is not a big fan of the big dogs, but okay with my dachshunds. I am going to let him get adjusted to his new surroundings. Tomorrow we will begin his training. Above is a Ecollar tutorial video. I didn’t not get to send you home with one, but please watch this video as many times as you need to become familiar with the training collar.

Today Athos and I went to the park to work on his commands. We practiced Sit, Down, and Place. Place is a command where Athos must sit or lay on a defined object. This command is great for confidence building, working on distance and duration, as well as teaching him to be calm and relaxed. We also practiced Heel. Heel is a structured walk where Athos must walk at my side. He is not allowed to lead ahead, lag behind, or walk too far away from me. He is not allowed to put his nose to the ground. His job is to walk moist my side and focus on me and where I am going. Athos did very well on his first day of training.
