Chooch | Cane Corso | Bakersfield, CA

ByJesse Medina

Let’s welcome Chooch, a 4-month-old Cane Corso who has joined our 2-Week Board & Train program to work on potty training, obedience, and building overall confidence.

At a young age, Chooch has shown some hesitation around new people and can be a bit standoffish, often raising his hackles when unsure. He can also be a little mouthy, which is common at this stage, but something we are addressing early on to ensure appropriate behavior as he grows.

Throughout his program, we are focusing on establishing a solid obedience foundation, creating a consistent potty routine, and building positive, structured social experiences. Our goal is to help Chooch develop into a confident, well-mannered, and stable companion.
