Bailey Belle | Border Collie | Bakersfield, California
My name is Bailey Belle and I’m a Border Collie! I will be joining my trainer Anthony for a Two Week Board and Train Program. My owner’s say I pull a lot when we go on walks. I am very flighty and sometimes act skittish when I hear sudden noises. I get along really well when I’m around other dogs. Check daily to see my PAWSOME transformation!

Training Summary: Today we continued to build a relationship with Miss Bailey. She is very skittish and a very fast runner. We introduced the five commands (heel, sit, down, come, place) all with leash pressure. Guiding her into command with leash pressure. Once she’s on command all pressure is released. Pressure is only used when she needs guidance. Great first day girl!

Training Summary: Today we trained over at the park. We continue to reinforce all commands. She is beginning to understand that once she gives into the direction of the pressure, all pressure is released. She can act skittish with sudden noises around the house, like forks falling, a door being slammed, etc. She does really well with the dogs around the house. She is super friendly!

Training Summary: Bailey is showing tremendous confidence with all of her commands. She was pretty scared of the park bench so I went up with her to show her there’s nothing to be afraid of. After multiple reps she was jumping up by herself!

Training Summary: We continue to reinforce commands and increase distractions! Bailey was a bit timid of the new environment. Not bad for her first time at the mall. She loves to be around people, she just needs some more socialization in environments like these. Keep up the great work girl!!

Training Summary: Today we took Bailey to Hollywood Blvd! She was very timid of being next to the Main Street. She can act very skittish and attempt to run away. It’s important to always follow through with every command you ask of her. We will revisit this location and continue to desensitize her to these environments.

Training Summary: Bailey is doing well with all of her commands both on and off leash. I am very selective on where I have her off leash due to her being skittish. When she’s in a state of fear, it’s important to follow through with a command. At Lowe’s she can get spooked out by noises of wood being placed on carts. At the park she does great off leash! Keep it up girl!

Training Summary: Bailey continues to kill it off leash! It’s really just about desensitizing her to as much noises as possible. On heel she remains on my left side closest to my knee. Her recall is excellent! She loves to play with my dogs here at home. Keep being Great!
