Yoshimi | Border-Doodle | South Pasadena

Welcome Yoshimi to the Offleash Socal family! Yoshimi is a one year old "border-doodle" from South Pasadena who is joining us for a 3 week "Old School" Board and Train. She has developed some unwanted attributes as it relates to her skittishness that is preventing her from warming up to people and from being off leash with her family. I have no doubt once we build up Yoshimi's confidence she will thrive in her new training and return home with the desired attributes her family requested.

Today I took Yoshimi, the Border Doodle, to the park so I could evaluate her base level training and get a better understanding of her overall behavior in a public environment. We exposed her to different distractions, including people, children, dogs, and general park activity, while observing her engagement, leash manners, responsiveness, and impulse control. Yoshimi showed me where her current strengths are and also highlighted areas that will benefit from more structure and consistency moving forward. The outing gave me a solid starting point for building her training plan and understanding how she processes new environments.

Yoshimi the Border-Doodle had a productive trip to the park where we focused on engagement, confidence building, and reinforcing known commands in a more distracting environment. Throughout the session, Yoshimi worked hard to stay connected with me while exploring new sights, sounds, and activity around the park. We practiced obedience skills they already knew, and Yoshimi showed a solid understanding of commands while gaining confidence working through mild distractions. As the session went on, they became more comfortable, more engaged, and showed great progress in both focus and overall confidence in the environment.
