Catahoula | Catahoula Leopard Dog | Arcadia, CA | In-Training
Catahoula, a one year old Catahoula Leopard Dog, has joined OffLeash SoCal for our Two Week Board and Train program. Catahoula comes to us knowing commands but not always following them, being easily distracted, jumping to greet, and not walking properly on leash. Over the two weeks Catahoula will be working on her off leash obedience and manners. Check in to see her progress!

Catahoula is settling in well at my home. She is getting along great with all her new doggie friends. She was a little nervous when first meeting them, but warmed up quickly and wanted to play.

Today Catahoula and I went to the park to work on her obedience commands. I introduced and conditioned her to the ecollar. We practiced commands Sit, Place, and Heel. Place is a command where Catahoula must sit or lay on a defined object. This command is great for confidence building, as well as teaching her to be calm and relaxed. She was a bit nervous at the park and distracted with her surroundings. Heel is still a work in progress, but Catahoula is was much better now at my side.

Today Catahoula and I worked on her obedience commands at home. We practiced all her commands. I used her friends as a distraction and let them play while we trained. It was a little hard for her to focus because she wanted to join in on the fun, but I made sure she followed with her commands. Once training was over she was able to go play and socialize with her buddies.

Today Catahoula and I went to the park to work on her obedience. We practiced a new command, Come to Heel. This command is a little tricky, but Catahoula is starting to get the hang of it. We met with other OffLeash Socal trainers and their dogs, so she had plenty of dog distractions to work around. She did very well and stayed focused on me and followed all her commands, even though she really wanted to say hi to the other dogs. Catahoula did a great job today.

Today Catahoula and I went to Lowes to work on her obedience around distractions. She was pretty nervous with all the noise and distractions around us. After some time of walking around and working on commands, she was able to relax and focus. Catahoula even practiced her commands semi-off leash. I let her drag the leash around while we trained.

She only got distracted once, with a dog that was lunging and barking at her. Once we passed the dog, Catahoula went back to focusing on her commands.
