Sara | Australian Shepherd | Bakersfield, CA

 

Welcome to the 2 week board & train Sara! Miss Sara is under a year old and has worked on minimal training with her owners at home but will be working on cleaning up commands and advancing on what she knows during her stay. Sara loves to play but often gets too distracted with her surroundings and she will not come back when called. We will be putting emphasis on her recall along with her off leash training since her owners love to give her freedom in lots of places !

Training highlights: Sara worked on all commands today and is doing so great! I even did a little off leash dragging the leash practice since she is catching on so well to the heel command. Sara is slowly adjusting to the ecollar but is doing great with leash pressure. She can often have moment of anxiety and be very vocal when she’s outside around other dogs and they’re running around her

Training highlights: While outside filling the water bowls i noticed sara had a lot of interest in the water hose. During her potty breaks i have allowed her to run around and chase the water and she loves feeling a bit of water with this heat!

Training highlights:

Sara went on a walk with me around my neighborhood today where there is constantly cars passing and other dogs. She understands that it’s important to stay near me in the heel position and is learning that whoever her handler is, they are most important when it comes to structured walks. She is very accepting of leash pressure and doing great with the ecollar.

Training highlights: Great work today Sara! She has grown so much in confidence and is slowly beginning to jump onto higher objects and hold the command regardless of how new the object is. We also practiced a little bit of off leash work today and she did great!

Training highlights: Sara found some grass today while out in public and couldn’t resist but to roll around and enjoy the fresh feeling and scratching around on it. After her little moment of okay time we went straight back into training where she practiced all commands on and off leash  around distractions.
