YOUNG ADOLESCENT CLASS

FOR PUPPIES 18 WEEKS - 12 MONTHS

This is a critical time for you and your young adolescent to deepen your bond & connection, and to give both you & your changing pup skills for managing their emotional world. 

The Adolescent Brain is still forming in dogs for up to 2-3 years, and possibly beyond.  Many dogs may look mature at 2, but their brain is still the brain of a puppy/adolescent.

Because we offer multiple sessions of this class based on size and age, new clients will need to attend an evaluation session so we can properly place your pup in the right class. If you are a current client, please let Suzanne know you would like to enroll in this class.

IN THIS CLASS you and your pup will,

  • Continue to develop social/play skills with reliable friends, LOTS OF PLAY TIME

  • Dig into the things that will help their developing bodies & brains, and make training more accessible to them, such as

    • Simple, Effective Manners, 

    • Decompression and Relaxation,

    • Increasing Emotional Resiliency,

    • Deeper Bonding and Connection.   

    • Consent, Choice and Agency! Lots of OFF leash work in this class!

WE OFFER MULTIPLE ADOLESCENT CLASSES BASED ON AGE AND SIZE. YOU WILL HAVE A SPECIFIC CLASS TIME RECOMMENDED TO YOU DURING YOUR FREE CLASS EVALUATION OR AT YOUR PUPPY ABC’S CLASS GRADUATION.

BECAUSE THIS CLASS IS RUN MOSTLY OFF LEASH, IT IS LIMITED TO ONLY DOGS WHO ARE ALWAYS FREINDLY WITH OTHER DOGS. IF YOUR DOG STRUGGLES WITH DOG FRIENDS, PLEASE CONTACT US HERE FOR PRIVATE TRAINING OR CHOOSE OUR MORE TRADITIONAL LIFE SKILLS & MANNERS CLASS BELOW.
