Paisley | Goldendoodle | Pasadena, CA | In Training

Meet Paisley! She's a nine month old Goldendoodle from Pasadena, California here for our Two-Week Urban Board and Train Program. Paisley can be very sweet, but often takes that affection too far by jumping up on people. She’s very playful, but wants to bark and pull towards any dog she sees to try to play! While she's familiar with some basic commands but decides for herself if she wants to listen. Over the next fourteen days, we'll be working with Paisley on her obedience skills, help mitigate her reactivity to dogs, work on her impulse control, help with her manners in and out of the house, and help her become the best pup she can possibly be! Stay tuned for Paisley's two week transformation!

After picking Paisley up, we spent some time at the park to get to know each other and let her get some of that excitement out. She’s full of energy and curiosity, and it definitely showed—she loves to pull toward anything that catches her eye! Despite her eagerness to explore, she showed some great focus when asked to Sit and Down, which is an awesome starting point for her training. These commands will help us build structure and teach her how to calm down even when she’s feeling extra playful.

During the drive home, Paisley barked a few times, but she quieted down before long. Once we got home, I gave her a little tour around my home so she could take in all the new smells and get comfortable. She’s definitely got a wild, energetic personality, but after some time exploring, she began to relax and show her sweet side. By the end of the evening, she was settling in nicely and seemed to be starting to enjoy her new environment. I think she’s going to fit right in and do great here!
