Min Pin Goes to Dog Training Camp

Diesel is a 5yr old male Miniature Pinscher, who loved to go to Dog Park here in San Diego, until one day he was seriously injured by another larger dog. Unfortunately, this was not his last incident involving dog attack and though he was a very sweet boy, he has become fearful and aggressive towards people and dogs. Worst of all, Diesel started “marking” his territory all over the house!

Min Pin’s are a hearty breed; they are very determined and love to bark. Descendants of the terrier breed, not related to the Doberman Pinscher, the Min Pin is from Germany and the breed is much older than the Doberman. The Min Pin’s original purpose was to hunt rodents. They are known as “King of the Toys” and can become tyrannical if spoiled. Diesel’s family wants to be able to manage his aggressive behavior and is committed to making his new training apart of their daily life.

At camp we have been working on socialization skills and he is learning to walk nicely past other dogs and to listen to commands in distraction. Diesel is full of energy and loves to walk on the leash. He is learning to focus more on his task at hand (walking or sitting) instead of barking at the things we walk past.

Our dog training camps in San Diego and Temecula train dogs from Min Pins to Labrador Retrievers and everything in between for basic obedience, off leash recall, and behavior modification.
