🐾 The Star of Training Tuesday is Monte 🐾
Monte is a 6-month-old Doberman who reminds us just how critical training, structure, and socialization are for working breeds.
Monte was surrendered when his family realized that, despite good intentions, a young Doberman was not the right fit for their busy household and experience level. Without proper leash training and exposure to new environments, Monte quickly became overwhelmed, fearful, and reactive to the world around him.
The good news? Training works!
In just his first lesson with Drew at Monte is already learning leash manners and how to focus on his handler. As that focus builds, so does his confidence — and we’re seeing the foundation of a happy, well-adjusted young Doberman start to take shape.
Monte will thrive with an experienced Doberman owner who understands the breed and is committed to ongoing training, appropriate exercise, and channeling his energy and intelligence in positive, productive ways.
Let’s hear from you!
