Dante, a Doberman Pinscher from Sun Valley, CA went through the Balanced Canine Training SoCal 1 Week Board & Train dog training program. Dante was trained by dog trainer Joey Madrid in Santa Ana, CA.
Say Hello to Dante, the Doberman, from Sun Valley! He is a goofy puppy who is joining us for our 1 Week Board and Train to learn some manners on leash. He is sweet and friendly but does not know his size when it comes to greetings and jumping. He loves walking and saying hi to everything which leads to lots of dragging his family around. When he can't go say hi to other dogs he resorts to barking. I can’t wait to see what he learns in the next week!

Dante is getting used to his new surroundings. He did not want to eat his dinner or treats but that is very normal for first-day jitters. He went for a walk to work on his loose leash walking skills and introduce him to the e collar. He also worked on his auto sits.

Dante had a fun day today! He went to a new park and worked on his food and crate manners. He also worked on door manners. He got to play fetch and work on dropping the toy when told. He worked on place to place and duration down. He worked on place while I watched 2 episodes of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. He ate all his breakfast but only ate half of his dinner. Due to the amount of walking, I added extra food to each meal to make up for him not finishing his food but also his extra walking.
