Buddy | Golden Retriever | Bakersfield, CA
🐾 Meet Buddy, Our Newest Board & Train Student! 🐾
Buddy is a handsome 1-year-old Golden Retriever weighing 75 pounds who just joined our 2-Week Obedience Board & Train Program! 🐕💙
Buddy is a friendly, energetic boy who loves people and other dogs, but sometimes his excitement gets the best of him!
Over the next two weeks, we’ll be focusing on:
🐾 Better leash manners and loose-leash walking
🐾 Reliable recall, even around distractions
🐾 Staying in place when distractions are present
🐾 Managing excitement and jumping on people
🐾 Building impulse control and overall obedience
Our goal is to help Buddy become a calmer, more focused, and well-mannered companion while keeping his fun, loving personality!
Welcome to the OLK9 Bakersfield family, Buddy! 🐶❤️
