Bella, a two year old Belgian Malinois, has joined OffLeash SoCal for our Two Week Board and Train program. Bella comes to us knowing her commands but not always following them if distracted, not walking properly on leash, and being reactive towards people, dogs, and cars. Over the two week Bella will be working on her poff leash obedience and manners. Check in to see her progress!

Bella is settling in well at my home. She is getting acquainted with the other dogs. She isn't really too fond of them.

Today Bella and I worked on he obedience at home. I introduced and conditioned her to the ecollar. I wanted to see where she is at with all her training. We went through all the commands. She does know her commands, but doesn’t always want to follow them. We need to work on her duration. Bella will only hold her commands for a short period of time before she breaks and want to come to me.

Today Bella and I went to the park to work on her obedience. We met with other OffLeash SoCal trainers and their dogs, so Bella had plenty of dog distractions to work around. Bella did pretty well. She was a little unsure about being around them, but wasn't reactive towards them. She stayed focused and followed all her commands.

Today Bella and I went to The Citadel Outlets to work on her commands around distractions. It was very busy today and Bella was a little overwhelmed with all the distractions. She listened and obeyed all her commands but wasn’t really focused on me. She was watching everything going on around us. She was a timid around strollers that passed by. After being there for some time, Bella calmed down a little. Bella saw a few dogs while we were there. She was reactive a few times, only towards the other dogs that were barking.

Today Bella took the day off from training and spent the day playing and relaxing before she goes home tomorrow. I gave her a bath so she could be nice and clean when she sees you. Bella can’t wait to show you everything she has learned!
