Meet Haley! She’s a 5-year-old German Shepherd from Woodland Hills, CA! She is very friendly, loves people, and has a ton of energy! She will be joining us for our Three Week Board and Train Program to work on some behavior such as her reactivity, inconsistent obedience, and leash manners. Stay tuned for her Three Week Transformation!

Today Haley’s first training session took place at the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I introduced and began building a foundation in the Off, Break, Come to sit, Extended sit, and Heel commands. She was highly reactive to bikes, skateboards, and other dogs, but we used them as great training tools. This was a great first session!

She did have some reactivity towards a jogger running by. We worked through that and helped her learn that was inappropriate behavior. It was a valuable training experience for her and she shows progress with every session!
