Rocky | French Bulldog | Bakersfield, CA

We’re excited to welcome Rocky, a young French Bulldog, to our puppy board & train program! At just a few months old, this is the perfect time to build a strong foundation for lifelong good habits.

During his stay, we’ll be focusing on potty training through a consistent routine, improving his walking manners, and introducing structured socialization to help him build confidence in new environments, around people, and with everyday distractions.

We can’t wait to share Rocky’s progress as he grows in confidence, learns new skills, and reaches each training milestone!

Rocky had an awesome first day! He settled into my home much quicker than expected and made himself comfortable right away. His first night went smoothly—he slept great, ate all of his meals, and handled the transition like a champ. Today was all about keeping things simple, building trust, and letting him get used to me and his new environment. We also introduced his new leash indoors so he could start getting comfortable wearing it with no pressure. A great first day for this little guy!

Rocky’s personality is already starting to shine! He’s becoming much more playful and is doing an awesome job with his sit command. He’s also beginning to follow me on leash indoors, and we’re focusing on building his confidence by encouraging him to keep moving instead of “pumping the brakes” when something feels a little uncomfortable.

Potty training is off to a great start! Rocky had one accident during the day, but he stayed accident-free overnight. He’s doing a great job using either his potty pad or the secluded side yard whenever he’s out of his kennel, and we’re already seeing a nice routine start to develop. He’s making great progress every day!

Rocky is making awesome progress with his confidence! When he first arrived, he was very hesitant on leash and would freeze before even stepping into the potty area. Now, with a little guidance, he’s confidently walking through and even climbing up on his own! He’s also eating great, settling into his routine, and best of all—he’s been accident-free! So proud of this little guy and the progress he’s making every day!

Rocky had another awesome morning! He’s getting into a solid routine and is really starting to understand the flow of the day. He followed me all the way to the outdoor potty area off leash, confidently went up and down the stairs with just a little guidance, and patiently held a sit before getting his water when we came back inside.

We also used his breakfast kibble for a short training session, keeping it fun and engaging while reinforcing his obedience. He’s becoming more confident every day, and it’s been so fun watching him put all the pieces together!

Rocky started learning the place command today! Teaching this at a young age helps build patience, confidence, and impulse control. We’re keeping sessions short and fun, and he’s already catching on quickly. Proud of this little guy!
