 Dog: Saki
Location: Ft. Myers, FL
Program: 10-Day Puppy Program
Trainer: Karina
Main Focus: Timid puppy behavior, socialization, early obedience foundation, handling support for the owner
Outcome: Improved comfort in new situations, better social behavior, stronger puppy foundation, and continued progress at home

The Challenge

Saki’s owner loved her, but she was starting puppy life feeling overwhelmed by the world.

Before training, Saki:

  •  Was very timid and scared of new things
  • Needed careful introduction to new environments
  • Required positive exposure to other dogs and safe social experiences
  • Needed an owner who felt confident training and continuing the work at home

Her owner wanted a program that would not just train Saki, but also teach them how to handle and guide her the right way.

The Training Approach

Saki was enrolled in a 10-Day Puppy Program designed to give young dogs structure early and help owners learn how to reinforce training at home.

Training focused on:

  •  Building early obedience habits and listening skills
  • Introducing new environments gradually and safely
  • Helping Saki socialize appropriately with other dogs
  • Improving focus and engagement through repetition and routine
  • Daily photos and updates so the owner stayed connected and informed
  • Post-program support to help the owner keep up with homework and maintain progress

The goal was to help Saki feel safe, learn structure, and begin building confidence through consistency.

The Results 

After 10 days, Saki showed clear progress and was continuing to improve at home.

What improved:

  •  More comfort around new experiences
  • Better socialization and behavior around other dogs
  • A stronger puppy foundation to build on
  • Owner confidence and clearer understanding of how to train
  • Ongoing support after training to keep progress consistent

Saki started “blossoming into her own self,” with visible growth in how she handled the world.

Owner Reflection

“She was very timid and scared of everything and she eased her into everything and now she is blossoming into her own self.”
