First session orientation: no dogs. Do you believe every dog deserves to grow into a confident, well-adjusted adult? We do too. That's why we've created a unique program that supports your teenage dog during one of their most crucial developmental stages - adolescence.
Just like human teenagers, dogs between 6-24 months experience significant physical and emotional changes that shape who they'll become. This transformative period is your opportunity to help your dog develop into their best self through understanding, patience, and positive guidance.
Through our scientifically-based, joy-filled approach, you'll learn to:
Nurture your dog's emotional well-being using engaging games that build confidence
Foster self-control and focus while strengthening your bond
Help your dog navigate real-world challenges like walks, home life, and social situations with ease
Your journey begins with our orientation session (Class #1) - a humans-only class where you'll gain deep insights into your adolescent dog's developing mind and learn the foundations for supporting them through this exciting stage.
Join our supportive community of dog parents who understand that raising a teenage dog isn't just about teaching commands - it's about fostering a happy, trusting relationship that lasts a lifetime.

Graduates of Nose Games or any Nosework training who have started finding birch, clove, or anise. Experience the thrill of real-world searching with our Sniff-N-Go Nose Game Sessions — a fast-paced, focused opportunity for you and your dog to test your scent-hunting skills beyond the classroom. Each team runs a full series of search areas one at a time, with the instructor following to provide immediate feedback and strategy tips after each search. You’ll enjoy a variety of search types, including interior, car, and outdoor searches, all within our facility. While waiting, teams relax together in their own indoor room, so there’s no worrying about your dog in the car. This format is also ideal for dogs with separation concerns, since they remain with their handlers throughout. Teams run the course in the order they arrive; if we expect a larger turnout, we’ll let you know an approximate run time so you can plan your arrival accordingly.
