Captain "Cappy" Bart | Bernadoodle | Encino, CA | In Training

03/21/2026

Meet Captain “Cappy” Bart!!! This five-month-old Bernadoodle from Encino just joined us for our Three-Week Puppy Board and Train—and what a special first day it was! Having just been fully vaccinated a few days ago, today marked one of his very first real experiences out in the world. Watching Cappy step onto grass and take in all the new smells at a public park was something truly memorable. While he may not have fully understood what was happening during drop-off (which is completely normal), he quickly began to show his sweet and curious personality as we took time to bond before heading out.

Cappy had some great early social interactions today. A shy little Chihuahua approached him first, and despite his best puppy efforts—bringing out all the charm he could muster—she wasn’t quite ready to engage. Still, he handled it well and stayed friendly and persistent without being overwhelming. Shortly after, he met a male Whippet and did a fantastic job with calm, polite greeting manners. We kept that interaction short and positive, setting the tone for future success. Later, he encountered a very vocal adult Husky, as Huskies tend to be. Cappy showed curiosity but also some uncertainty, which is completely appropriate for a puppy still learning how to communicate. Overall, he demonstrated that he is social, friendly, and eager to learn—even when things feel a little confusing. As expected, we didn’t focus heavily on obedience today, as everything is still so new to him. This was all about exposure, confidence-building, and positive experiences. I’m excited to see how he continues to grow—stay tuned for more of Cappy’s journey!

Cappy and I had such an exciting day at St. John Bosco High School! My daughter had a Track & Field event, and I knew it would be the perfect opportunity to bring Cappy along for some real-world socialization. From the moment we arrived, he was surrounded by new people, new energy, and a whole lot of attention. It didn’t matter which team anyone was on—everyone wanted to meet and greet this adorable pup!

I couldn’t have been more proud of how he handled such a high-energy environment. With all the noise, movement, and excitement, Cappy stayed friendly, calm, and eager to engage with everyone he met. He soaked up the attention while still showing great manners, which is a huge win for a young puppy in such a stimulating setting. Today was a big step forward in building his confidence and social skills, and he proved just how well he can handle a large crowd. Great job, Cappy!
