Teen Manners Class

Service Description

Did your adorable puppy grow into an unruly adolescent? This can be the most frustrating stage of a dog’s life for owners and the time when most dogs are surrendered to shelters for behaviour problems. Our special “Teen Edition” class combines some common puppy problem solving skills with manners and socialization to keep you and your troublesome teenager on the right track. If your dog is 5 to 18 months old, take advantage of our teen class to help you cope with this challenging time in your dog’s life. Classes are built around the science of the teenage brain and learning theory, using only the most humane and effective teaching methods. These classes are kept small to ensure every dog/handler team has the individual attention needed. All students enrolled in any group classes receive access to online training materials. Requirements: Dogs must have up-to-date vaccinations. To attend classes your dog must be calm and sociable around other dogs and humans. Examples of fearful and reactive behaviours: raised hackles, barking, lunging, growling, cowering, etc. If you are experiencing these behaviours look at Fear and Reactive classes.
