This is Mila, a 13 month old Siberian Husky from Pasadena. Mila is a very sweet pup who is very affectionate and loving. She is here for our three week board and train program as she tends to pull on the leash, jump on people, does not stay in one place, and selective hearing. Over the next three weeks, Mila will learn basic and advanced commands that are fundamental to transform from good to great! Keep checking her pupdates to see her pawsome transformation!
Big boop on the head from Mila
The way that she dips in whole nose in the water bowl cracks me up!
I can tell the other training dog, a Pomsky named Dexter, and Mila are going to be very good friends!

Mila today was a little shy when I met her today, which is totally normal, I’m a new face with a new environment. I made sure she was super comfortable with her blanket and her baby elephant. I took her to the park where she met an old friend, one of the staff from a daycare she‘s been to back home! She was soo excited to see her, and even better to know that she will be training along side her and Dexter too! She adapted quick, and has met a new pup face named Dixie. Mila hasn’t yet used the restroom but she did eat all of her lunch and dinner. I’d say the day ended nice and easy, and comfortable! Tune in for tomorrow’s Adventure!

Today Mila worked on some confidence building at the park. She did great with her recall, it’ was better than yesterday’s, and her heel command is becoming a lot cleaner! We are still working on her duration down, place, and sit, everyday is a work in progress! over the next few weeks Mila will soon understand commands, and will also be off leash! Mila had a chance to see Dexter, and was happy to get a quick play session in before the day ended! Glad to see her open up and that she’s comfortable, stay tuned for tomorrow’s Pupdate!

Mila had a great day today, she enjoyed the city streets on the morning walk, especially because it was cool out! We worked on her confidence building by climbing onto a playground set! At first she was super unsure, but with the right support and motivation Mila shook off her doubt and climbed onto the toy set! Great job Mila! later on in the day we worked on her duration down, and her recall command, while her friend Dixie was on place. [another dog in training] Mila ate all of her meals and has had healthy stool! Tune in tomorrow, for the next adventure!! (Video coming soon!)

Today Mila went on a nice hike, the weather was perfect, and cool. The nature provided so many distractions and it was a great way to work on her (OFF) command. OFF is a comma we use to let the dog know, “that’s not your job,” it can be used to stop jumping, keep her off of furniture, keep her out of objects, and regain her attention if she is fixating on something. She understood quickly, squirrels are our friend, and it’s okay to look, and smell!
later on in the day we worked on some recall and duration place around the house, her recall is getting a lot better and we are still working on the duration of her place/down command. Check in tomorrow for the next Pupdate!!

Today Mila and I went to the LA tar pits and worked on her commands around small distractions. She did so good at her Duration sit, she’s starting to understand sit means stay seated until told to get up! She is still wiggly with her recall and her down, but as long as it is better than yesterday’s , it’s progress, so we will take it!! Tomorrow I’m going to really start challenging her so we can work towards being OFF Leash!! ( Video coming soon, to a screen near you!!) stay tuned!!

Miss Mila has got the commands down, and will be training with less amount of leash!! We are still working towards her being Off Leash!! She did so well with her commands today, even with some other pup’s in training as a distraction, Dublin the Lab, and Lucy the Golden doodle! Today’s wiggles were a lot more controlled than yesterday’s and her walk has become a lot tighter! Her stool has been healthy and she is getting better with her food manners.
