Yoda, a one year old French Bulldog, has joined OffLeash SoCal for our one week board and train program. Yoda lacks following commands, pulls on the leash when going for a walk, jumps to greet, barks, and easily distracted. Over the next week Yoda will be working on his on leash obedience and manners. Check in to see his progress!

Today Yoda and I went to the park to start his first day of training. I introduced and conditioned Yoda to the ecollar. We practiced commands Sit, Place, and Heel. Place is a command where Yoda must sit or lay on a defined object. This command is great for confidence building as well as teaching him to be relaxed and calm. Heel is still a work in progress, but Yoda is walking a lot better now. He is walking close to my side and being more focused on where I go. In the video you can see another dog passing by. Yoda did very well and didn’t react or bark at it. He definitely stubborn, but Yoda did very well for his first day!

In the morning I took Yoda to The Citadel Outlets to see how he would be around distractions. He was a bit excited and overwhelmed when we first arrived, but as we walked around and practiced his commands Yoda was able to relax and become more focused. In the evening we practiced his commands around the neighborhood. He learned two new commands: Down and Come to Heel. Down is not his favorite command at all. He is stubborn and puts up a fight, but we will keep practicing until he loves the Down command. We also started working on his duration, staying in the commands longer.

Today Yoda and I went to Lowes to work on his obedience commands around distractions. He did very well today! Yoda is getting better at holding his commands and is learning to love the Down command. He didn’t bark or react to the people that walked by us. Yoda even sat politely and let one of the employees pet him.

Today Yoda joined me on a shopping spree at The Block at Orange. Yoda did a great job today, except when he was tired of walking and wanted to sleep. He was very well behaved and followed all his commands!

Today Yoda and I stayed home for training. We practiced food manners, door manners, and loading up. After training, Yoda spent his last day playing and socializing with his friends. He got a bath before his return home. Yoda can’t wait to go home and show you all he has learned!
