Continue your dog’s training into adolescence and through adulthood
Learning and development doesn’t have to stop once your dog gets older!
We offer continuing training options for older puppies and teenagers (6-18 months) as well as adult dogs (18+ months)
For all group classes, we limit class attendees to no more than TWO handlers per dog. If you wish to include a "junior handler" (ages 9-17) who will be the primary handler/trainer for the dog, please email us prior to class for authorization.
Tenacious Teenagers
This is THE class for rambunctious dogs who are pulling on leash, counter-surfing, jumping up, stealing things, ignoring your commands, and getting into trouble! Classes work on better listening skills, focus, impulse control with distractions, leash manners, and overcoming other common “teenage dog” issues.
For dogs ages 6-18 months or those who have graduated from our Puppy Manners class.
We know teenage dogs are rowdy; however, if your dog uncontrollably barks at dogs or people, we cannot have them in class. Please email for private training or a behavior assessment FIRST if you are unsure.
