Kodak – German Shepherd (5 Months Old)
Program: Two-Week Board & Train
Training Focus: Confidence building • On-leash & off-leash obedience • Socialization
About Kodak:
Kodak is a sharp, energetic, and eager-to-learn 5-month-old German Shepherd who joined our two-week Board & Train program to build confidence and develop reliable obedience both on and off leash. At this age, structure and exposure are crucial, and Kodak is in the perfect stage to learn solid habits.
During his training, we will be focusing on:
Boosting confidence through controlled exposure and new environments
Teaching strong, consistent on-leash obedience
Introducing off-leash foundations
Improving social skills with people and other dogs
Building impulse control and calmness
Establishing good manners and overall stability
Kodak has all the drive and potential you expect from a young German Shepherd, and we’re excited to help him channel that energy into confidence, obedience, and well-rounded behavior.
Stay tuned for his progress updates over the next two weeks!
