Chase | German Shepherd Mix | Bakersfield, CA
Chase’s 2-Week Board & Train Journey 🐾
Meet Chase, a 5-month-old German Shepherd mix who recently joined us at for our famous 2-Week Board & Train program!
Like many young working-breed puppies, Chase came in struggling with:
Nipping and puppy biting
Jumping on people
Destructive behaviors around the house
Overexcitement and impulse control
Poor manners all around
During his stay, we’ll be focusing heavily on building structure, confidence, obedience, and better overall manners through dog psychology methods and clear communication.
Chase will be learning:
Sit
Down
Place
Heel
Recall (Come)
Proper leash manners
Calm behavior inside the home
Respectful greetings with people
German Shepherd mixes are incredibly intelligent dogs, but without proper guidance they can quickly develop unwanted habits. Our goal is to help Chase become a calmer, more well-mannered companion while giving his family the tools needed for long-term success.
We’re excited to watch this young pup grow over the next two weeks and can’t wait to share his progress! 🐾🔥
