Pre-Teens Training Classes
FIRST 2025 CLASS NOW OPEN FOR BOOKING!
These classes are designed for those pups in the early stage of adolescence (4-10 months*), whether you’ve already done puppy classes or if you’re starting training for the first time.
This age is when we often start to see some behaviour changes and challenges start to pop up, even if they were the perfect puppy. It’s a great time to address any issues now though, so they don’t become deeply engrained when they’re mature dogs.
These classes will focus on preparing you for the teenage phase, learning the foundations of training (building on any puppy training) and ensure your young dog is off to a great start. I want to help you continue to have a lot of fun together while developing essential skills for safety and obedience as they mature.
NOTE: If you have an older pup, I also have more advanced classes for teenagers up to 2 years old here
Key areas of training focus:
Understanding dog body language (and why it’s SO important!)
Happy, healthy interactions and play between dogs
How dogs learn - the foundations of dog training
Foundation obedience - leash skills, recall and focus around distractions
Play skills for making training more fun!
Understanding the common challenges of teenage phase and why they happen
