Adolescent dogs. It's a thing. Really.​
Of course, by now, you may have discovered that.
What happened to that cute, little, cuddly puppy?
Does your youngster leave you feeling
worn out
run down
dead tired
done in?
​
We get it. We understand the teenage brain.
We can help.
​
Our unique games based approach to training dogs is not only fun but effective. Instead of feeling discouraged, you'll be delighted having your dog on the same team and being able to navigate the world together.
How we can help:
A dog's adolescent period can start between 5-8 months of age and last until they are 2-3 years old.
They have physical and chemical changes happening to their body and brain during this time. They are not being disobedient on purpose. We need to help them during this time of change to become the family pet you envisioned.
We play games to reshape their brain and set it on the right path. Concepts we work on:
CALMNESS: for peace and quiet in your home
DISENGAGEMENT: your dog ignores the enticing environment
PROXIMITY: so your dog wants to be with you and not run off
AROUSAL UP/DOWN: your dog can get excited but settle quickly
