K9TEENS - KEEP CALM & MOVE ON (6MONTHS - 2YRS)

Adolescent dogs aged 6 months - 2 years frequently develop into teen dogs with big feelings, and it can be a shock; this isn't the sweet puppy you knew!

Sometimes these feelings result from over excitement or frustration. Other times they are because your teen pup is struggling with nervousness or fear.

Don't mistake this for a phase; behaviours that develop at this age don't always disappear, in fact, they often get worse as your dog enters adulthood.

This class focuses on helping you, the human, better understand what's happening with your dog, and gives you both the skills to help your dog feel more confident and calm.

This program also requires critical information lessons for you the human, to complete each week, in addition to practice homework.

Skills include building neutrality and confidence with distractions; relaxation & settle behaviours, problem prevention, as well as foundation behaviours and pattern games that can be used to improve focus, walking past triggers and engagement.
