Description

Navigate the tricky teenage phase with confidence! This focused one-off workshop is designed to help you manage common adolescent behaviours and enjoy a calmer, more cooperative relationship with your dog. We will cover refresher exercises for loose lead walking and recall, as well as impulse control, all using clear, positive techniques that really work.

During the session, we’ll focus on: practical strategies for tackling typical adolescent challenges, including distracted recall, boundary testing, impulsive behaviours, and reinforcing essential skills like loose lead walking and stay games. You’ll leave with tools to strengthen communication, consistency, and calm control.

The dogs will be trained using positive reinforcement ✔️ — never harsh methods. ❌ Spaces are limited, so please book through the website to secure your place. Once booked, you’ll receive an email with important information about what to bring on the night. We prefer that one person attends per dog (maximum two if necessary). ⚠️ If your dog is aggressive or highly reactive, they cannot attend this class (unless it’s specifically for reactive dogs). For these dogs, we recommend arranging a one-to-one session with our trainer instead.
