Meet Mylo! Mylo is a four-year-old Alaskan Klee Klai from Los Angeles, CA here for our Three-Week Board and Train Program! Mylo can be skeptical of meeting new people. Mylo displays separation anxiety and skepticism by being vocal. Mylo loves to pull on the leash. He loves to mark anything and everything, even furniture! Mylo can perform a command or two, however, he lacks structure and will perform the tasks inconsistently. Over the next twenty-one days, Mylo is going to learn to be a confident, obedient pup through consistent, clear communication, and balanced training in areas such as at home, in the car, and in discovering new people and places. Mylo is going to learn how to perform all these things off leash through a positive and balanced training environment. Through structure and consistency, Mylo will demonstrate how great a pup he can be! Stay tuned for Mylo’s three-week transformation!

Today Mr. Mylo came to join my pack for his three-week stay. He was quite vocal on the way home but there were times when he was calm and quiet. On our way home, we stopped at a park to see what Mr. Mylo could do. He did perform the occasional "sit" but other than that we are starting with a blank slate. He was checking out some other pups that were strolling through but wasn't vocal with them. He didn't want to let me pick him up again to put him back in the crate but we figured it out.
When we got home, I let him meet everyone in the house. He was on edge and wasn't very receptive to being petted by everyone. We were having a small gathering so there was a little bit more noise and people than we normally have and more than what he's used to. I let him meet Ms. Toji right as the rain started. They were fine together.
Next, we went on a walk around the neighborhood. As I mentioned when I picked up Mr. Mylo, today is his one free day. He loves to smell every tree ensuring that he let everyone know that he was there. He ran out of fuel after the third tree or so but that didn't stop him from trying. He was running around and getting to the end of the leash but he was still walking with me. It did start to rain even more on our walk but it was important to get the walk in so that he could take in the sights, sounds, and scents of my neighborhood. It was a little more quiet than usual due to the rain but there was plenty for him to sniff.
Attached above is his e-collar video. I will introduce the e-collar to him tomorrow. He doesn't like it when I grab or hold his collar around his neck. We are going to work on this so that he understands that he's not in charge. He is showing me that he is not a big fan of structure and he can lash out or attempt to nip at me when I hold it to guide him into his crate. This will be something that I will be working with Mr. Mylo on understanding. We will shape better behavior using a fair and balanced approach.
