Izzy, a one year old Shepherd/Malinois Mix, has joined OffLeash SoCal for our One Week Board and Train program. She comes to us knowing her commands but not always following them, being leash reactive towards dog, and being protective of the family. Over the week Izzy will be working on her on leash obedience and manners. Check in to see her progress.

Izzy is settling in at my home. I introduced her to some of my dogs. She is a little timid and shy right now. She isn’t interested in playing but is okay socializing with everyone. I am going to let her spend the rest of the day settling in and getting adjusted to her new surroundings. Tomorrow we will begin her training.

Today Izzy and I went to the park to work on her commands. We met with other Offleash Socal Trainer and their dogs, so she had plenty of dog and people distractions to work around. Surprisingly, she wasn’t reactive at all. She was actually very timid and unsure of her surroundings. She did a good job, staying focused and following all her commands.

Today Izzy and I went to Lowe’s to work on her obedience around distractions. She was a little timid with all the noise and commotion going on around us, but was still able to focus and follow her commands. She did very well around all the people distractions. She didn’t bark or growl at anyone. She did really well. I was even able to drop the leash and move around while we practiced her duration Sits and Downs.

Today Izzy and I went to the shopping outlets to work on her obedience around distractions. She was a bit timid, but still able to focus on her commands. She did a great job staying calm around other dog distractions, even ones that were barking at her. Izzy had quite a few admirers that watched her train. She received a few compliments on how well mannered she is.
