Jack | French Bulldog | Bakersfield, CA

ByAileen Medina

Meet Jack, the 1.5 year old French Bulldog. He joins us for our 2 week board & train program where he will be on a journey of socialization and self-improvement. With limited exposure to other dogs, Jack and his owners are eager to broaden his horizons and develop better manners both at home and in public. While he has had moments of aggression, he is overall not generally reactive to people or dogs. Stay tuned as we embark on his transformational training journey, where we’ll witness his growth and progress every step of the way.

Training highlights: regardless of what we’re doing, and we have to remember that everything is training! After training session, before we enter, or exit a threshold, Jack holds a sit and waits for me to enter, instead of him bolting through the door.

Training highlights: Training at a park today allowed jack to have a more relaxed training day. We started the morning at the park when it was still fresh and there weren’t too many distractions out. We continued the rest of the day training in and outside at home due to the heat. He is doing much better at ignoring other dogs in public and understanding that there is a difference between training time and play time.
