Clover | Golden Retriever | Bakersfield, Ca
🐾 Welcome to Our 3-Week Board & Train Program 🐾
This handsome pup has officially joined us at Off-Leash K9 Training Bakersfield for our 3-Week Board & Train Program, where we’ll also be preparing him to take his Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test! 🎓🐶
He’s a friendly dog who does well with people and other dogs overall, but he can be a little standoffish with strangers — especially men. During his stay with us, we’ll be focusing heavily on confidence building, proper socialization, neutrality around distractions, and teaching him how to calmly work through new situations.
Some of the goals we’ll be working on include: ✔️ Preparing for the AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Test
✔️ Improving overall obedience and impulse control
✔️ Stopping unwanted chewing on kids’ toys and household items
✔️ Teaching proper house manners and boundaries
✔️ Staying off the couch and counters
✔️ Building confidence around unfamiliar people and environments
✔️ Strengthening focus, recall, heel, place, and calm behavior in public
Our training focuses on communication, structure, and helping dogs clearly understand expectations while building trust and confidence. We’re excited to help him become a calmer, more confident, and well-mannered companion both at home and out in public.
Stay tuned for pupdates and progress videos throughout his training journey! 🐕🔥
