Meet Slink! He's a 9-month-old Dachshund from Los Angeles, California, and he's here for our Two Week Urban Board and Train Program. Slink is smack dab in the middle of his teenage months, plus he's getting used to living in a new house, which means he's being extra challenging for his mom right now! He's been doing a lot of barking, he's begging for food, having accidents on furniture, and refusing to do any of his commands. Over the next two weeks we'll make sure he knows all his basics and that he has to listen when given a command, teach him to quiet down when told, and make sure we get his potty training issues under control. Stay tuned for Slink's two-week transformation!

We stuck around at the park today for a little bit of practice before heading home, and Slink made it very clear he wasn't interested in doing any of those commands. He wanted to go sniff things and go where he wanted instead of where I wanted, and he wouldn't Sit even though I know he knows how to. I did get him to come to me once, so it was something! He may not have wanted to do any work, but he was friendly and let me pick him up to put him in the car, no problem, and he napped in the crate all the way home. Once there, I put him out in one of the play yards with a couple smaller dogs to keep him company. He was very happy to have some friends and ran around with them without any issues. He did do a bit of barking when he wanted out of the yard, so that's something we'll be working on right away! I kept him on a leash in the house so he couldn't wander off to go potty somewhere, letting him sniff and get used to his areas. He's a little uncertain about things so he didn't eat all his dinner, but that's normal for their first day or two. Once he gets the routine down and gets comfortable, it'll be no problem at all, and I'm looking forward to getting to work with him these next two weeks!
