What to expect...
Your dog isn’t a puppy anymore—but they’re definitely not a grown-up either!
​
Welcome to the adolescent stage—the time when your dog’s energy spikes, focus drops, and all that early training can suddenly feel like it’s gone out the window.
​
Our Adolescent Training Course is designed to guide you and your dog through this tricky (and totally normal) transition with positive, practical training that builds real-life skills and reinforces calm, confident behavior. Using kind, reward-based methods, we’ll help you rebuild focus, set boundaries, and get back on the same page—without frustration or force.
​
You and your dog will work on:
-
Reliable recall and lead manners, even around distractions
-
Impulse control (wait, leave it, settle) and polite greetings
-
Building focus and responsiveness in stimulating environments
-
Reducing teenage testing behaviors like jumping, ignoring cues, or boundary-pushing
-
Strengthening your relationship through trust, fun, and consistency
You’ll also get support with:
-
Managing frustration, overstimulation, and boredom
-
Mental enrichment to channel all that teenage energy
-
Troubleshooting common adolescent challenges at home and on walks
-
Understanding your dog’s changing emotional and developmental needs
