Meet Penny! She's a 1-year-old Australian Labradoodle from Fullerton, California, and she's here for our One Week Board and Train Program. Penny's had some previous training with her breeder, but she needs some refreshers on all her commands, and on her house manners. She has a tendency to jump up on people when she greets them, especially kids, likes to take things that aren't hers, licks and nibbles when she wants attention, and pulls a lot on leash when she wants to say hi to someone. Over the next week we'll remind her that she has to follow through on the commands she already knows, teach her some ones that'll help establish more boundaries, and show her how to properly behave if she wants attention from people. Stay tuned for Penny's one-week transformation!

Penny and I stayed at the park a little while longer just to see what she knew and what she might give me. I can see that she does have somewhat of a natural Heel, but getting her to do it on command needs some work! It took several tries to get her into her Sit, and the Down was almost there but she didn't follow through all the way. The Recall was a no-go entirely, so we'll definitely need to work on that one! I know it's always hard to perform for strangers in a new environment, though, so the fact she showed potential on most of these gives him high hopes! When she settles in more I think she'll work for me without too many issues. She was really quiet on the car ride home, no problem, but definitely anxious once we got there. Getting her on the scale to get her weight was an adventure in itself! I have several different sized dog yards and runs at my place, so for starters I put her in a space where she could see the other dogs playing, but she didn't have to interact with them just yet. I want her to have a chance to adjust to all the sounds and smells before I start introducing her to a play group. She did calm down relatively quickly out there, and seemed to relax even faster once I introduced her to the inside of the house. She's really sweet and I think she's going to fit in just fine here!
