At A Glance
Miley and Teddy are 5-month-old Mini Goldendoodles from the same litter who came to Off Leash K9 Training Murrieta for the 3-Week Reactive Dog Program. Their training focused on puppy energy, jumping, barking, biting, manners, and learning how to settle instead of staying in a constant high-energy mindset.
