Is your previously well-trained puppy suddenly showing you up? Are they ignoring your cues, running off to see dogs, jumping up and suddenly full of extra energy?
That means your young dog has entered the next exciting developmental phase: Adolescence. It is an exciting time for your dog, but can definitely be challenging and trying for guardians.
Good news is: You’re not alone.
The Teenage Progression Course is designed to help you regain your dog's focus, train around distractions, and strengthen your bond with your dog during this important developmental stage.
This course revisits essential training skills such as loose-leash walking, recall, and calm behaviour in real-life situations. Using ethical and effective reward-based methods, I’ll help you navigate your dog’s newfound independence while making training enjoyable for both of you.
The class welcomes dogs aged 6–24 months and is ideal for those looking to refresh training or overcome common adolescent struggles.
This class fills up quickly and spaces are limited, so don't hesitate to book your space (or get in touch to be placed on the waiting list) and take the next step toward a harmonious relationship with your teen dog!
