Maximus | Airedale Terrier | Bakersfield, CA

ByJesse Medina

🐾 Welcome Maximus to Off-Leash K9 Training Bakersfield! 🐾

Maximus, an energetic Airedale Terrier, has joined us for our 4-Week Rehabilitation & Obedience Board & Train Program.

During his stay, we’ll be focusing on building better manners, improving impulse control, and addressing some behavioral challenges, including dog aggression toward other dogs and mild resource guarding. Our goals are to help Maximus stop jumping on people, reduce his mouthy behavior, and learn to respectfully coexist with his older canine sibling at home.

Through structure, leadership, and our dog psychology-based training methods, we’ll be helping Maximus become a calmer, more confident, and well-mannered companion.

Stay tuned for his transformation! 🐕🔥
