Victory | Doberman Pinscher | Rosemead, CA | On-Training


Victory, a six month old Doberman Pinscher, has joined OffLeash SoCal for our Three Week Board and Train program. Victory comes to us with typical puppy behavior: little knowledge of commands, being easily distracted, not properly walking on a leash, mouthiness, and eating things off the floor she’s not suppose to. Over the next three weeks Victory will be working on her off leash obedience and manners. Check in to see her progress!

Victory is setting in well at my home. She a little shy meeting some of her new friends, especially her training buddy, Koko the Tibetan Mastiff, but she has warmed up the them and following them around. She was nervous about getting on the scale to get her weight, so didn’t try to force her. Once we start her training and she builds more trust with me, I’ll get her to hop on the scale.

Today Victory and I worked on her training at home. I introduced and conditioned her to the ecollar. We practiced commands Sit, Down, and Place. Place is a command where Victory must sit or lay on a defined object. This command is great for building confidence as well as teaching her to be calm and relaxed.


Victory did great in her kennel last night. She didn’t make a sound. She did let me know that she was ready for her breakfast. She has fully settled in and become more comfortable around me and my pack.

Today Victory and I went to the park to work on her obedience. We worked on a new command, Heel. She did very well and learned the command fast. Heel is still a work in progress, but she is walking a lot better now. Victory still gets distracted, but is starting to pay attention and focus on me. She did great on her second day of training!

Today Victory and I worked on her commands at home. Victory learned a new command, Down. She was a bit resistant with this command, not her favorite one to follow. We practiced Heel up and down the street. She did great, staying at my side and being focused on me.

Today Victory and I went to the park to work on her obedience. She learned two new commands: Come to Sit and Come to Heel. She is doing a great job with her training! You weren't joking that Victory loves carrots. She smelled my carrot/orange juice and kept trying to steal the bottle from me. She was happy after I gave her a cap full to taste.

Today Victory and her best friend, Koko, joined me on a shopping spree at The Citadel Outlets. Victory worked on her commands around distractions. She was a bit nervous at first, but as we walked around she calmed down and was able to focus on her commands.

Today Victory and I went to Lowes to work on her obedience commands. We were able to work semi-off leash! I let her drag the leash around while we practiced. She did pretty well, but is still not quite ready to be completely off leash. She was bit nervous with all the commotion going on around us. The more I take her out in public and work her through her nervousness, Victory will start becoming more confident.

Today Victory and I practiced her commands around the neighborhood. I let her drag the leash around again while we practiced. She is doing very well! She was more confident and less worried about everything else around us. Victory is enjoying the added treat to her food.

Today Victory and I went back to The Block at Orange to work on her off leash obedience. She pretty good with her off leash commands. She was a little nervous if I got to far from her and would break command to be close to me. In the video you can see she didn‘t like the patio shade covers and tried to move away from them. We will working on building up Victory’s confidence. I’m very proud of her and the progress she has made so far!

Today Victory and her friends, Aspen and Ranger, went to Glendale Galleria to work on their obedience around distractions. There was some construction going on which made Victory a bit nervous. I continued to work her around the noise until it was no longer an issue for her. She was able to stay focused and follow all her commands.

Today Victory and I worked on her commands at home. We started practicing for her Canine Good Citizen test. She must pass all 10 requirements to get her certificate. A few other OffLeash SoCal trainers came over to socialize their dogs with my pack. Victory had a great time making new friends.

Today Victory and I worked on her obedience around the neighborhood once the rain took a break. She was not happy with me having her work out in the cold. She wanted to stay snuggled up at home.

Today Victory and I went to Lowe’s to work on her off leash obedience. In the video you can see she’s a bit nervous with the noise and commotion going on around us, but she still followed through with her commands. She got a lot of compliments on how well behaved she is! We are still working on her greeting manners. You can see Victory’s still shy when people come up to greet her, so I allow her to go up to them if she is interested.


 

Pupdate 3/30/2022



Today Victory and I met with other OffLeash SoCal trainers and their dogs at the park. Victory practiced her off leash commands around the other dog distractions. She got all the love and attention today! I had all the other trainers come up to pet her so she could build up her confidence and not be so shy when meeting strangers.

She let a few strangers come up and pet her without shying away. I am very proud of Victory and the progress she has made! She can’t wait to go home and show you everything she has learned!
