Levee | MinPin/Pit Mix | Sherman Oaks, CA | In Training

Please welcome Levee!

Levee is a Miniature Pinscher / Pit Bull mix who has joined us for our Two-Week Urban Board and Train Program. He’s a driven, intense dog who is ready to start learning the structure and guidance he’s been missing.

Levee is currently struggling with jumping, resource guarding, biting, showing some reactivity, and he does not yet have an obedience foundation. These behaviors can make it difficult for him to safely and calmly navigate everyday situations, especially in more distracting urban environments. Much of this stems from a lack of clear boundaries, impulse control, and understanding of expectations.

Our first step with Levee will be establishing structure and opening clear lines of communication. We’ll be introducing foundational obedience so he can begin to understand what’s expected of him and learn to look to his handler for direction. We’ll also be working heavily on impulse control, helping him learn to slow down and make better decisions instead of reacting immediately.

As he progresses, we’ll be addressing his resource guarding, biting, and reactivity in a safe, controlled, and fair way. The goal is to help him develop safer coping skills, improve his ability to remain neutral in stimulating environments, and build confidence through consistent guidance.

Our overall goal for Levee is to create a dog who is more obedient, more stable, and safer to live and work with, while helping him learn how to exist calmly in the world around him. We’re looking forward to getting started and sharing his progress throughout the program.
