Zach | German Shepherd | Bakersfield, CA



Hello all, I’m Zack, a 12-year-old German Shepherd. My family enrolled me in the three-week rehabilitation program at OFF LEASH K9 training in Bakersfield. I’m here to work on my overprotectiveness and occasional aggression towards other dogs and certain men. Keep an eye out for updates on my progress!

TRAINING HIGHLIGHTS: TodayΒ was a training day with my trainers. We focused on improving leash manners and practicing the “sit” command, especially around various distractions. It’s important for me to stay focused and obedient, even when there are exciting things happening around me. This kind of training helps me become a well-behaved and disciplined dog.

TRAINING HIGHLIGHTS: Woof! I’m Zack, the German Shepherd. Today was amazing! My trainers took me to Hart Park. It’s a big, beautiful place with so much to sniff and explore. We went on a little hike and, oh boy, there were so many giant birds! I’ve never seen birds that big before. They had long legs and big wings. I wanted to chase them, but my trainers kept me on a leash. It was a great day! Woof!
