Week 1
Week 1 is an overview of canine adolescence, what to look for, and how to build patience and compassion for ourselves and our dogs during this season of life.
Week 2
Motivation matters! In Week 2, we’ll discuss determining what motivates your dog and how to compete with the ever-distracting world your adolescent dog is discovering.
Week 3
“Teen” dogs need a job. Week 3 explores using enrichment and training to burn excess mischief-inducing energy while meeting our dog’s needs!
Week 4
Socialization isn’t just for puppies! In Week 4, we’ll discuss the benefits of ongoing socialization during adolescent developmental changes, including play style, choosing appropriate play settings and playmates, and how to accept and understand behavioral changes in your “teen” dog.
Week 5
In our final week of class, I’ll help you through real-life scenarios. Will you use management, training, or some combination? We’ll also revisit how to prioritize training goals when you’re feeling stressed by your teen dog.
