🐾 Meet Lucky
Breed: Australian Cattle Dog Mix
Age: 1 Year Old
Lucky is a high-energy, intelligent pup who struggles with confidence on leash and managing his excitement at home, often leading to nipping behaviors.
He joined our 3-Week Rehabilitation Program with Obedience to build confidence outdoors, improve leash manners, and gain better control of his energy inside the home.
Through structure, clear communication, and consistent training, we’re helping Lucky become a more calm, confident, and well-behaved companion.
