ADOLESCENT DOG TRAINING TAILORED FOR SMALL BREEDS

TAKING YOUR DOG FROM TEEN TEARAWAY TO CALM CANINE

NEW FOREST | SOUTHAMPTON

Do you feel fed up and frustrated because your adolescent dog keeps ignoring you?

Are you worried your adolescent dog's behaviour is getting out of control? 

Perhaps you're confused why your well-behaved puppy has changed into a teenage tearaway?

There is a reason why 6-18 months is the most common age to rehome adolescent dogs. It's a really challenging time and there is more to it then just hormones and training.

If you've got an adolescent dog you might have been given all sorts of training advice, such as neutering your dog, disciplining more, exercising more - but with so many conflicting opinions it's hard to know what to do.

I've tried using treats but my puppy won't listen

Reward based training isn't about just throwing treats around and hoping for the best. Your choice of reward, your timing and delivery can all make things better or worse. 

I'll show you how to make sure your puppy understands how they earned their reward and how to create good habits that don't rely on your constant supervision or waving packets around!

But surely my puppy needs to be in a group class so they can get used to other dogs?

For a small breed dog it can be quite unnerving being in a class with boisterous teenage dogs who are twice their size and weight. It can be too overwhelming or distracting to learn, particularly during the tricky teenage phase.

Dog training and socialisation is about learning to feel confident around different dogs and people. It's also about building your relationship with them so you don't end up with a dog that wants to run off and play with every dog they see.
