Sunshine | Boxer | Bakersfield, CA
Sunshine is currently enrolled in our 3-Week Rehabilitation & Obedience Board and Train Program at Off-Leash K9 Training Bakersfield.
Sunshine joined our program to work on behavioral challenges that include resource guarding toys and food, dog reactivity that can escalate into aggression with other dogs, fighting with her sister, jumping on people, and improving overall obedience with voice commands.
Throughout her training program, Sunshine will be working on building better impulse control, confidence, calm behavior around distractions, and stronger obedience both on and off leash. Our rehabilitation program focuses on structured leadership, dog psychology, accountability, and clear communication to help create a more balanced and manageable companion.
During Sunshine’s stay, her family will receive regular updates, photos, videos, and progress reports as she continues her rehabilitation and obedience journey with our training team.
