Meet Ziggy! He’s a 4-year-old Pomeranian/Chihuahua from Cerritos, California, and he has joined us for our 3-Week Reactive Board and Train Program!
Ziggy is an adorable and sweet pup who, even at his age, is ready to learn better self-control and stronger social skills. He comes to us with some knowledge of basic commands, but he struggles with reactivity—he loves to bark at other dogs and humans, pulls while walking, and will sometimes shut down when he doesn’t get his way.
Over the next 21 days, Ziggy will be working on building calm behavior, improving his leash manners, and learning how to make better choices around distractions and in new environments.
Through consistent structure, clear communication, and balanced training, Ziggy will learn how to become a well-mannered and obedient companion—both at home and while exploring new people, places, and experiences.
Stay tuned for Ziggy’s transformation! 🐾✨
Pupdate 4/6/26
Welcome to Ziggy’s first pupdate! 🐾
After pick-up today, Ziggy and I spent some time at the park getting to know each other and helping him feel comfortable with me. You were absolutely right—he was much friendlier once you left. He allowed me to gently pick him up and place him in the crate for our ride home.
During the drive, he was quiet, and I made sure to reassure him that everything was going to be okay.
Once we arrived home, I could tell he was feeling scared in the new environment. To help him decompress, I took him out for a short walk where he met Dottie. This will definitely be a relationship we build slowly. Dottie has a lot of energy, so for now, we’ll focus on gradual introductions and peaceful co-existence.
He also met my daughter and allowed me to pet him, which is a great step in the right direction. Ziggy is understandably unsure right now, but he is already showing small signs of trust. We’ll continue taking things at his pace while building his confidence and structure.
Stay tuned for more progress tomorrow! 💛
