Terrific Teens

To attend this class it is advisable that you have had puppy training with us or from elsewhere. If this does not apply, then our SOS Training groups will give you all the support and foundation that you need to progress.  SOS Training is also suitable for rescues in need of some lessons to gain confidence in a group environment.

Teenagers… Our tiny cute little tots, devoted to us, turn into independent beings that just shrug us off as if we never mattered… “yeah What-eva.”

But just like our children we still love our teenage dogs. Even if they are frustrating at times they are often funny, fun and always brilliant company.

Between puppy-hood and adulthood, our dogs go through a stage where they are growing up, but are not grown up. They are losing lots of their puppy traits and puppy teeth. Teething can be painful and irritating. Hormonal changes are taking place which can lead to frustrations and new patterns of behaviour as they start to take more risks in a bid for independence.

They may find it harder to relax and can become more sensitive and emotional and display less ability to control their impulses.

So classes for this age group are built around helping you and your dog maintain that close bond, establishing new rules for jumping, barking, chewing and control around other dogs. Helping you to understand them, and them to understand what is expected of them whilst supporting them, and making the most of their risk adverse and curious brains.
