Brody | Miniature Australian Shepherd Mix | Sherman Oaks, CA. | In Training

Meet Brody!

Brody is an 11-month-old Miniature Australian Shepherd from sunny Sherman Oaks, CA! This spirited pup has joined us for our Three Week Board and Train Program, and we couldn’t be more excited to have him.

Over the next 21 days, we’ll be focusing on sharpening Brody’s basic obedience skills and helping him develop better manners, especially when it comes to meeting new people. While Brody might be small in size, he’s got a big personality and a protective streak that sometimes gets in the way of polite greetings.

We’re looking forward to guiding Brody through this journey and helping him become a more confident, well-mannered companion. Stay tuned for his transformation, it’s going to be a fun ride!

For Brody’s first day I decided to take him to the park and go for a walk to work out some of those first day jitters and get better acquainted with him. This walk was important for us because when I first came into his home to meet him and his family he was quick to let me know he wasn’t having it by barking, growling and a little nip to let me know who’s boss. After our walk he was like putty in my hands. Complete with little nose kisses and all. We also took some time to assess commands he does know, he understands sit and heel to some extent, we will work on tightening that up some. Along with teaching him down and other basic obedience skills and manners. When we got home it took him a moment to get comfortable but once I sat down to start some work I put on a National Geographic show about mammals and he got comfortable and seemed to actually watch the show! So far he is quite the character and I look forward to our work together!
