Teen Pup Training

This class is for pups age between 6mths and 2 years.

Teenage dogs can be hard work, bouncy and boisterous at times. Owners can feel embarrassed and frustrated that their once “good puppy” is now a teen tearaway! This rebellion is all part of a normal developmental process, but some can need a lot of guidance and support.

Neutering is not always the answer and doing this too early in your dog's life can cause further problems.

Learning to understand your teen pup and how to communicate and boost your bond through training and games in a friendly supportive group is the way forward!

Lead pulling, poor recall and either anxiety around other dogs or being too boisterous can all turn into bigger problems during adolescence.

These classes are outdoors in public spaces and cover topics such as working with distractions, recall, unwanted behaviours like jumping up, excess barking or picking up items on walks, walking on a loose lead, calmness around other dogs and all classes are taught using positive kind methods
