-XOCHI -

Xochi is a German Shepard Boxer mix who started working with me in December of 2024. She is originally from Tijuana and is currently on her 5th and final home. Xochi is the sweetest pup but has suffered some traumatic events including a dog attack, moving between homes frequently and had a tree fall into her home during a storm. These events have caused her to become anxious, fearful. reactive and insecure. Our training goals for Xochi were to build reliable obedience and lots of confidence, as well as address her dog reactivity.

Along with in home issues, Tucker was banned from our local dog park for attempting to fight other dogs in the park.
