Welcome River to the our Board & Train Program!
River is an 11-month-old German Shepherd who has joined us for our off-leash obedience program. Like many young shepherds, he's a smart guy with plenty of potential - but currently, he thinks "come" means "catch me if you can!" 😅
During his stay, we'll be building a reliable recall, polishing his obedience, improving his leash skills, and teaching better manners both at home and out in the world. River is also a bit of a sensitive soul who can be nervous and unsure in new environments. He takes a little time to warm up, so a big focus of his training will be building confidence and helping him feel more comfortable navigating unfamiliar situations.
We'll also be working through some mild dog reactivity and teaching him how to make better choices around distractions. With structure, consistency, and plenty of positive experiences, we know this handsome boy is going to make great progress.
We're excited to have River here and can't wait to show you his transformation over the next few weeks!
