Archie | Golden Retriever | Santa Maria
Hello everyone! Please welcome 6 month old, Golden retriever puppy, named Archie. He is here with us for our three week board and train program.

It can be difficult for Archie’s owner to due to him pulling on the leash and barking at human’s and dog’s. During our two weeks together, training with Archie, he will learn how to become a well mannered puppy, also build reliable obedience!

Archie is making fast progress as he is learning his commands! He has improved much in completing the sit, place, and come commands. One thing we would also like to include is that Archie has a problem with picking up objects off the ground and eating them. This morning when Archie went potty, after defecting, Archie turned around and began trying to eat his own waste. Although he still struggles with reactivity to distractions such as nearby people and dogs, we have been training hard in order to conquer those obstacles.
