Pebbles - Week 0 · Paradigm K9 Dog Training

Pebbles - Week 0

Pebbles is part of the same family as Coco and Butter, but she’s coming into the program with a very different starting point. She’s extremely nervous, low-confidence, and easily overwhelmed by new environments, people, and pressure. She’s also incredibly quick and crafty—she’s slipped collars before, and during our first session she even tried to chew her way off the leash, so she’s now working on a chew-proof setup for safety.

With dogs like Pebbles, the first phase of training isn’t about commands—it’s about building trust, confidence, and emotional stability. We’re going to move at her pace, create predictable routines, and help her feel safe enough to start learning. Once she understands the structure and begins to trust the process, we’ll layer in more formal training.

She may take more time and care than her siblings, but she’s worth every ounce of effort. I’m excited to show you how she grows throughout the month.
