Help! My Puppy is a Teenager

A 4-week online course on Zoom for adolescent dogs (6–18 months). Recall in real life, calm greetings, impulse control, and how to keep training fun through the "teenage brain" phase.

The teenage phase

Your puppy hasn't broken. They're just growing up.

Between 6 and 18 months, everything you thought your dog knew can seem to vanish. It's normal — and it's temporary. Our adolescent programme rebuilds recall, calm greetings, and impulse control, using games your dog will actually want to play.
