Arkaylo | German Shepherd Mix | Bakersfield, California

Arkaylo, the German Shepherd Mix, is set to embark on our one-week board and train program. Hailing from Bakersfield, CA, he arrives with a few challenges to overcome, including leash manners, basic obedience, and significant separation anxiety. Despite these obstacles, Arkaylo is described as a fantastic family dog, displaying a natural affinity for human companionship and exuding a friendly demeanor towards everyone he meets. With our dedicated training program, we aim to help Arkaylo reach his full potential and become the well-rounded canine companion he’s destined to be.
