Meet Olive! Olive is a nine-month-old Shiloh Shepherd from Hacienda Heights, CA here for our Two-Week Board and Train Program. Olive is a loving, gentle giant of a pup. Olive likes to jump on people and lacks impulse control. Olive gets excited and distracted by small critters like squirrels and pulls hard on the leash. Olive can perform a command or two, however, she lacks structure and will perform the tasks inconsistently. Over the next fourteen days, Olive 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. Olive is going to learn how to perform all these things off-leash through a positive and balanced training environment. Through structure and consistency, Olive will demonstrate how great a pup she can be! Stay tuned for Olive’s two-week transformation!

Today Ms. Olive joined my family for her two-week board and train. On the way home we stopped at the park to see what Ms. Olive knew. She was not too interested in me and didn't do that well. We had a quick photoshoot for her Blog and then headed to her new home for a few weeks. I let Ms. Olive explore all the rooms and meet my family. Once we were done checking out the house, I let her meet Ms. Toji, my German shorthaired pointer, and my other board and train, Mr. Mylo, an Alaskan Klee Klai. Ms. Toji paid no mind to Ms. Olive. Mr. Mylo let Ms. Olive know that he's been here for a few weeks but he's quite the vocal pup about everything. Ms. Olive did give the submissive behavior of laying down and letting them check her out.
Once the introductions were over, we headed out for a walk around the neighborhood. I let Ms. Olive lead the way. I allowed her to smell, hear, and see the sights, sounds, and scents of her home away from home. It was surprisingly quiet despite the big game going on. When we got back, I gave her a small break in the crate. She started getting a little whiny so I let her out in the dog run with Mr. Mylo and Ms. Toji.
I'll leave her food with her in the crate overnight and see how much she eats. I can assure you that I will do everything I can and give her every chance to eat her food every day. I monitor her weight and food intake in the form below. We want a healthy, full, well-hydrated pup for training. Tomorrow we will introduce the e-collar and get started on her training!
