Adolescents can be a challenging time for both owner and dog. During the adolescent phase of development many dogs appear to forget all they have learnt, many also experience a fear phase which can often leave owners feeling worried and frustrated. This 5 week course is designed to be fun and active, building confidence and strengthening the bond between owner and dog. Sessions cover a range of topics such as owner focus, manners, and impulse control. Positive and reward based methods are used to give your dog the best experience.
