Benji is a beautiful Leonberger puppy that we are training for basic obedience in a private training program. Unfortunately, Benji broke his leg and we are making adjustments to work around it, so we can still get him trained.

about this La canada dog training client

Benji is a beautiful male Leonberger puppy from the city of La Canada, in the Los Angeles County of California 91011. Leonbergers are a large breed, typically very friendly, and are becoming more popular as service dogs for people with disabilities. This guy is super friendly, and his owners need help getting him under control. He’s a very nice guy, he’s just getting bigger (and bigger) and doesn’t have any puppy manners. Benji likes to nibble on you for attention, and try to crawl on top of you to lay on your lap. It’s actually very endearing, but it’s too much for guests when they come to visit. 

Benji picks up on everything we are asking from him quickly, cause he’s a smart guy, but his brain is not conditioned to complying … yet! We are making great progress with him, and we will come back to give you some updates. We always recommend starting training as early as you can with your puppy; Benji is only five months old.

Dog aggression training is a very popular training program throughout La Canada, Santa Monica, Los Angeles, Orange County, and Ventura County areas.

We’ve already had a few training sessions with Benji, and he seems to be coming along quickly. We look forward to continuing training and seeing what a great young puppy Benji develops into. Leonbergers can become very large and powerful dogs that can be difficult to handle. It is very important to start training as early as you can, so that you don’t have to convince a 100+ pound dog that pulling is not cool. 😭

Our private training program typically consists of eight, one hour, training sessions. However, we do not watch the clock, and often stay longer if it’s needed. The most important thing for us, is to make sure that we give our clients the training they need, and we do not leave our clients confused or not clear on what they should be doing with their dogs daily. 

This dog aggression training program is offered in other cities such as Malibu, Culver City, Calabasas, Zuma Beach, Thousand Oaks, Woodland Hills, Beverly Hills, Studio City, and Bel Air.

MORE ABOUT THE LEONBERGER DOG BREED 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonberger

The Leonberger is a giant dog breed, whose name derives from the city of Leonberg in Baden-WürttembergGermany. According to legend, the Leonberger was ostensibly bred as a “symbolic dog” that would mimic the lion in the town coat of arms. It is in the Working Group for dog shows such as Crufts, but not at the World Dog Show.

This breed occurs with a generous double coat; the Leonberger is a large, muscular, and elegant dog with balanced body type, medium temperament, and dramatic presence. The head is adorned with a striking black mask and projects the breed’s distinct expression of intelligence, pride, and kindliness. Remaining true to their early roots as a capable family and working dog and search and rescue dog (particularly water), the surprisingly agile Leonberger is sound and coordinated, with both strength in bearing and elegance in movement. A sexually dimorphic breed, the Leonberger possesses either a strongly masculine or elegantly feminine form, making gender immediately discernible.[1]:5

Capable of demanding work, the Leonberger is a dog of ample substance. Its frame is supported with well-muscled, medium to heavy bone in direct proportion to its size. A roomy chest is sufficiently broad and deep for the purpose of work. Seen in profile, the chest curves inward from the prosternum, tangenitally joins at the elbow to its underline at 50% of the withers’ height and then continues slightly upward toward the stifle.[2]

The head is well balanced in proportion to the size of the dog and is deeper than broad with the length of muzzle and the length of skull approximately equal. With close fitting eyelids, the eyes are set into the skull upon a slight oblique; the eyes are medium-sized, almond shaped, and colored dark brown. The ears are fleshy, moderately sized, and pendant shaped, with sufficient substance to hang close to the skull and drop the tip of the ears level with the inside corners of the mouth. The Leonberger’s ears rise from halfway between the eye and the top of his skull to level with the top of his skull. Though level bites and slight anomalies not affecting the robustness of the lower jaw are common, the ideal Leonberger capably possesses a strong scissor bite with full dentition.[2]

Both a necessity for work and a defining attribute of the breed, the Leonberger has a water-resistant double coat on his body that is complemented by the shorter, fine hair on his muzzle and limbs. The long, profuse, outer coat is durable, relatively straight, lies flat, and fits close. A mature, masculine Leonberger exhibits a pronounced mane. Similarly, his tail is very well furnished from the tip to the base where it blends harmoniously with the breech’s furnishings. Climate permitting, his undercoat is soft and dense. Apart from a neatening of the feet, the Leonberger is presented untrimmed.

A variety of coat colors are acceptable, including all combinations of lion-yellow, red, red-brown, and sand.[2][3] Nose leather, foot pads and lips should always be black. Faulty colors include brown with brown nose leather, black and tan, black, white or silver and eyes without any brown. A small patch of white on the chest or toes is permitted.[4]

First and foremost a family dog, the Leonberger’s temperament is one of its most important and distinguishing characteristics. Well socialized and trained, the Leonberger is self-assured, insensitive to noise, submissive to family members, friendly toward children, well composed with passersby, and self-disciplined when obliging its family or property with protection. Robust, loyal, intelligent, playful, and kindly, they can thus be taken anywhere without difficulty and adjust easily to a variety of circumstances, including the introduction of other dogs.[1] Proper control and early socialization and training are essential, as this is a giant breed.
