Mora, an eleven month old Husky/Shepherd Mix, joined OffLeash SoCal for our Three Week Board and Train program. She comes to us knowing commands, but not always following them. She is easily excitable and distracted, pulls on the leash, while walking, jumps to greet, and has leash reactivity. Over the three weeks Mora will be working on her OffLeash obedience and manners. Check in to see her progress!

Mora is settling in well at my home. She got to meet my pack. She was a bit reactive at first. Once she got to smell and greet each dog she settled down. I am going to let her spend the rest of the day getting adjusted to her new surroundings. Tomorrow we will begin her training. Above is a tutorial video of the Ecollar. I didn’t get to send you home with one, but please watch this video as many times as you need so you can become familiar with the training collar.

Today Mora and I went to the park to work on her commands. I introduced and conditioned her to the Ecollar. We worked on all of her commands. She did great with her Sit and Place commands. Down was a little difficult, but that was because she was nervous. After some reps, she relaxed and was able to do the Down command with ease. We also worked on her Heel command. Heel is a structured walk where Mora must walk at my side. She is not allowed to lead or lag behind. She shouldn’t be fixated on her surroundings. We are the most important distraction and she needs to focus on us and where we are going. It is still a work in progress but Mora is walking much better, staying close to my side and not trying to drag me around.

Today Mora and I trained at home. We practiced all her commands and worked on her duration. She was a very good girl and followed all of her commands. She did much better with the down command, not giving me such a struggle like yesterday. We worked more on her heel command. Mora di very well for her second day of training!
