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
