Dax | Braque Francais | Pacific Palisades | In-Training

Dax, a Four month old Braque Francias, has joined OffLeash SoCal for our Three Week Puppy Board and Train program. Dax comes to us with typical puppy behaviors: little knowledge of commands, not walking properly on leash, being easily distracted, jumping to greet, biting, and potting inside the house. Over the three weeks Dax will be working on his on leash obedience and manners. Check in to see his progress!
