Sophie Rose @ 9 yrs It's never too late



What a delight it was to meet this dog. She came into the hotel on a harness and a retractable lead. Aggressive and very dominant for a tea cup poodle tipping the scale at 7 lbs. Full of energy and plenty of food drive. She has some orthopedic issues and waddles and looks like she has a ball between her back legs. Originally she had to be on a harness because she pulled so hard she would injure her neck. Her owner decided to do a two week board and train. We started in the Canine College for work on foundation and bonding. She absolutely loved the game of obedience. We eventually worked in food prep and a courtyard full of barking dogs. Perfecting took us to the main building where we were able to practice in the lobby. We used the elements of obedience to guide her to be the best dog she could be with dogs and people all around. I'm not sure who had more fun, her or me. Her dad had me do another week because he loved the work I had done and the constant observation she receives as I work and spend time with her daily.
