When it comes to Adolescent and Adult dogs,
Lucky Fido has something for every pup and every person!

Dogs in the Adolescent Phase are often distracted and struggling! Their brains have not finished forming pathways, their hormones are changing, and the world is a pretty interesting place to be!

Training at the level that your dog needs is so important for your success and for all around happiness. So, whether your teen pup is more interested in playing with friends than in focusing on you and your manners, or your teen or adult is ready to dig into some serious manners lessons, from Playgroups & Group Walks, to Manners 1 and Manners 2, we have got your back!
