Moose is a 6-month-old Golden Retriever from San Diego, California, joining OffLeash SoCal for our 2-Week Urban Board & Train Program! Even at such a young age, Moose already has a great start on his training and comes to us knowing commands like Sit, Down, and Come. He's an incredibly smart boy who truly wants to please, but like many puppies his age, his puppy brain sometimes gets the best of him, causing him to get distracted and ignore commands when there's something more exciting going on.
Moose absolutely loves meeting new people and is always eager to make friends, which often leads to him jumping up to say hello. Over the next two weeks, we'll be focusing on improving his leash manners, strengthening his basic obedience, and teaching him better house manners so he can become the well-mannered companion we know he's capable of being.
We can't wait to watch Moose grow throughout his training journey—stay tuned for his progress!
Pupdate 7/22/26
Today was Moose's first day with me, so I wanted to keep things fun and low-pressure by doing a simple training session in my backyard! We started by going through the commands he already knew, and I was happy to see that Moose has a nice foundation with Sit, Place, and Come. He showed that he understands these commands well and was eager to work throughout our session.
Since he already had a good grasp of the basics, we built on that foundation by introducing Extended Sit and Extended Place/Down. Moose did a fantastic job staying respectful, engaged, and genuinely wanting to do the right thing. He's a very smart young pup with a great attitude toward learning, and I'm excited to continue building his manners and watching him grow into a well-behaved companion over the next two weeks. Great job today, Moose!
