Teen Dog Life Skills & Manners
For dogs aged 6 months to 2 years old, the teenage phase is often the most challenging stage of their development. This is the time when your once-adorable puppy might start exhibiting “rebellious” behaviors—ignoring cues and calls, pushing boundaries, and testing limits. Instead of following you around, they might now choose to run the other way when called. They’re also exploring the world more and can get themselves into trouble by chewing, jumping up on guests, countersurfing, excessive barking, and more.
Our Teen Dog Life Skills class is designed to help you and your dog navigate this tricky phase by teaching essential life skills that promote safety, politeness, and good manners, while also focusing on building a strong foundation of trust and communication.
