Darling is a one-year-old Pitbull from Los Angeles, CA who has just joined us for our Two Week Community Board and Train Program. Like many young pitties, Darling is full of personality and enthusiasm. Her owner describes her as a sweet and spirited girl who loves to do things her way—especially when it comes to walks. With lots of leash pulling and a habit of only listening when she feels like it, outings together have become a bit of a challenge. Darling has also developed a mischievous side at home, occasionally turning to nibbling when she’s left to entertain herself.
Over the next two weeks, we’ll be working closely with Darling to build a strong foundation in off leash basic obedience while also improving her house manners. Our goal is to help her learn how to make better choices, become a more reliable listener, and transform into a calm and enjoyable walking companion for her owner.
Darling is a very sweet girl with a lot of potential, and we’re excited to guide her through this training journey. Stay tuned as we share her progress and watch her transformation unfold!

Today was Darling’s first day with me, so we kept things nice and easy with a stroll through the park to get better acquainted and to assess what she already knows. During our walk, I also took the opportunity to introduce the heel command. At first, Darling was much more interested in everything else going on around the park, so she paid very little attention to me. She also wasn’t too fond of the corrections and tried putting on the brakes a few times. Despite that, we were still able to make some good progress and get Darling walking much more nicely on the leash with far less pulling by the end of our walk.
By the time we wrapped up at the park, Darling seemed just a little more comfortable with me, so we loaded up in the car and headed off to check out her home away from home for the next two weeks. When we arrived, she was eager to explore and check everything out. She was especially excited when she met my pup, Quinn! It’s safe to say Darling definitely approved of her new temporary home.
She is still showing a few signs of missing her mama, which is completely normal on the first day, but I’m confident that with a little time she’ll settle in just fine. Overall, Darling did very well today considering all the new experiences she had. She’s already working on adjusting to her new environment, and I’m looking forward to helping this sweet little lady grow over the next couple of weeks! 🐾
