Say hello to Kobe, the Australian Shepherd from Manhattan Beach. He is joining us for our two-week board and train program. He is a very sweet boy who loves to chew and pull, he is not crate trained and he loves to bark. He is very friendly and shows by jumping to say hi. Watch his transformation over the next 14 days.

Kobe had an interesting first day. He went hiking and got to know me and my family better. He learned all the commands and worked on him being comfortable in the crate. He ate his lunch but did not want to eat his dinner. He enjoyed walking and learned break means he gets all the snuggles. He was a little nervous and cried in the crate on all our drives but we will be working on that.

Kobe went to the park to learn about the e collar. He worked on come to sit and break. He really liked break but he thought that meant to jump so we are going to work on it being a bit calmer and not mean jumping. He did great with the e collar he responded well. He worked on crate training and he is coming along to it! He only cries in the car or when I'm working other dogs but has been sleeping through the night in the crate. He enjoys his chews and so far has not ripped the PJs. He also worked on sitting and waiting patiently for his meals and is enjoying his toppers but is still a bit picky but nothing to be concerned about due to his weight gain.

The rain kept us inside today but Kobe got to work on his distractions and adding duration to his other commands. He learned puppy push-ups and how to wait patiently on place while my dog was loose. He ate all his food and is enjoying the crate now.

Kobe had quite the day! He worked on all of his commands around a lot of distractions. We went to several parks and worked around other dogs. He is not a fan of statues but we worked on it a bit. He had a blast working with Stitch and Winter, especially getting to sit, place, and down with them. Due to the amount of walking we did, I gave him extra food each meal but he was still a bit picky. He slept almost the whole car ride home and is getting better about being in the crate in the car.

Kobe was practicing his off-leash skills today. He went for a walk with Stitch dragging the leash and then we took it off! He practiced recall, door manners, and place! I gave him more food due to the amount of walking we did and he ate a bit more today.
