Brutus | Rottweiler | Bakersfield, CA
**Welcome, Brutus! 🐾**
Brutus is joining our two-week board and train program, and we’re excited to help him refine his skills and build confidence. He’s affectionate, thrives on rewards, and has a loving bond with his family—but he also brings a playful, determined spirit that keeps things interesting!
Alongside reinforcing obedience, we’ll be addressing his love for chewing (on anything and everything), his stubborn moments, and his playful roughness that sometimes leads to accidental nipping. Resource guarding is another key area we’ll be working through, ensuring he feels secure without the need to guard his possessions.
With structured guidance, impulse control exercises, and positive reinforcement, we’re looking forward to shaping Brutus into his best, well-mannered self. Stay tuned for his progress!
