Meet Nova: A 15-Week-Old Cane Corso Beginning Her Training Journey
We’re excited to welcome Nova, a 15-week-old Cane Corso puppy, to our 3-Week Board & Train Premium Puppy Package! Nova is at such an important stage in her development, and this program will give her the strong foundation she needs to grow into a well-behaved and confident adult dog.
Like many young puppies, Nova is just beginning to learn the basics. She doesn’t know how to walk on a leash yet, so one of our first goals will be teaching her how to walk politely and calmly by our side. We’ll also be working on:
Puppy Manners – learning not to jump up on people
Confidence Building – helping her feel comfortable in new environments
Obedience Foundations – introducing sit, stay, recall, and other essentials
Leash Training – guiding her step by step from the very beginning
Socialization Skills – encouraging positive interactions and good habits early
Nova has a sweet and playful personality, and she’s already showing signs of being eager to learn. Over the next three weeks, we’ll be sharing her journey as she discovers how fun and rewarding training can be. With patience, consistency, and the right guidance, Nova will leave the program with the tools she needs to succeed for a lifetime.
Stay tuned for updates as we document her progress and celebrate all the milestones along the way!
