Kiwi | Golden Retriever | Irvine, CA | In Training

Meet Kiwi! She's an eighteen month old Golden Retriever from Irvine, California here for our Two-Week Board and Train Program! She can be very sweet but she sometimes likes to bark at other dogs. She loves to jump when she meets someone and likes to run out of the door if it's open. She is a huge leash puller and has very little obedience skills, especially when it comes to her recall! Over the next fourteen days, we will work on Kiwi's obedience skills, show her proper manners in and out of the house, and help her become the best pup she can possibly be! Stay tuned for Kiwi's two week transformation!

Today was Kiwi’s first day, and we started things off by heading home so she could get familiar with her new environment. After giving her some time to settle in, we made our way to the park for a little training and bonding time.

Kiwi is definitely a strong leash puller and gets distracted easily, but she’s already starting to warm up to me! I asked her for a few basic commands, and she was able to give me a Sit about half the time—a solid starting point for our first day together. She’s curious, energetic, and seems eager to explore. Back at home, she’s settling in well and starting to get comfortable. Looking forward to seeing how she progresses!
