Rio | Golden Doodle | Rolling Hills Estates

Rio the Golden Doodle joins Offleash Socal for a one-week board and train focused on building better leash manners and a strong foundation in basic obedience. Throughout the week, Rio will work on walking calmly without pulling, staying engaged with his handler, and responding more reliably to commands such as sit, down, place, recall, and heel. We will practice these skills in a variety of environments and around everyday distractions so Rio can build confidence, improve impulse control, and develop the structure needed to be a more enjoyable companion at home and out in public.

Rio the Golden Doodle took a trip to the park to begin learning what commands and expectations he already understands while working with me in a new environment. This session allowed me to evaluate his leash manners, engagement, focus, and response to basic obedience around distractions such as people, dogs, sounds, and open space. By giving Rio time to work through familiar commands in a real-world setting, I can better identify where he is confident, where he needs more guidance, and how to build a training plan that helps him become calmer, more responsive, and easier to handle in public.
