Sheppie | German Shepherd | Bakersfield CA
Welcome Sheppie Pepper to Our 4-Week Rehabilitation Program! 🐾
Meet Sheppie Pepper, a 9-month-old German Shepherd who has joined her sister for our 4-Week Rehabilitation & Obedience Board and Train Program!
Sheppie is a very sweet young dog, but she needs help with reactivity toward people and other dogs, excessive barking, leash manners, running away, chasing cats and other animals, and potty training.
Over the next four weeks, we’ll be combining dog psychology with structured obedience training to help Sheppie become calmer, more confident, and easier to control around people, dogs, and everyday distractions. We’ll also work on impulse control, recall, leash manners, boundaries, and establishing a consistent potty-training routine.
Our goal is to give Sheppie a strong foundation while she’s still young and teach her family how to continue reinforcing her new behaviors at home.
Stay tuned to watch Sheppie’s progress over the next four weeks! 🐾❤️
