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.
