Missy is a 6-month-old Golden Retriever from San Diego, California, joining OffLeash SoCal for our 2-Week Urban Board & Train Program! Missy is a sweet, happy-go-lucky puppy who loves being around people and is always ready to make new friends. Like many puppies her age, she can get a little carried away by all the exciting sights, sounds, and smells around her, making it difficult for her to stay focused on what is being asked of her.
Over the next two weeks, we'll be helping Missy build a strong foundation by focusing on basic obedience, improving her leash manners, and teaching her proper house manners. Our goal is to help her develop the self-control and confidence she needs to become a well-mannered companion both at home and out in public. We're excited to watch Missy's progress throughout her training journey—stay tuned!

Today was Missy's first day with me, so we kept things nice and relaxed by spending some time training in my backyard! I wanted to get a feel for what she already knew, so we went through a few of her basic commands. Missy showed me that she has a good understanding of Sit, Place, and Come, and she was eager to learn throughout our session. With that solid foundation, we began building on her skills by introducing Extended Sit and Extended Place/Down. Missy did a wonderful job staying engaged and was always trying her best to make the right choices. She has a sweet personality and a great willingness to learn, which made today's session a lot of fun.
I'm looking forward to continuing her training over the next two weeks as we work on her leash manners, house manners, and overall obedience. Great first day, Missy!

Today Missy and I took a trip to Lake Balboa to continue building on all of the commands she has been learning! We started our session with a structured Heel on my left side, and she did a wonderful job staying close and engaged with me throughout our walk. Even with plenty of people, ducks, and other distractions around us, Missy remained focused and worked hard to make good choices.
Since Missy is still a young pup and the warm weather can be tiring, we kept today's training session short and enjoyable. After our walk, we found a shady area where we practiced her Extended Sit and Extended Down. She showed great patience and put in a lot of effort to remain in her commands until she was released. Missy has such a sweet attitude toward training and is always eager to learn and please. Overall, today was another great training session, and I'm very proud of the progress she's making. Great job, Missy!
