Simba | German Shepherd | Bakersfield, CA

ByJesse Medina

Simba is a German Shepherd who is about 3 years old. He knows some commands when he’s in the house but once he’s out the yard or in public he barks at dogs. Simba is not the best with strangers and could use a few more manners in public and when greeting. Stay tuned for his transformation.

Training Summary: Today we worked on all commands. While simba can initially be hesitant to go into down command, he eventually completed it with guidance using leash pressure. We worked at a fairly empty park today and we will slowly be increasing the distraction level.

Training highlights: Simba has been working on his distance and duration commands. Completing commands around distractions has been going well and making sure he can hold them in a quiet environment in my home has allowed for him to continue to be challenged every time we complete commands in public.

Training Highlights: Simba got spoiled today with a bath before he heads home. He got a full bath and did fairly well during the wash and blow dry at the end. We put his commands to use and worked on making sure he stayed calm as possible during the whole process
