Adolescent Academy

The Adolescent Academy is an Self Study Dog Training Programme where our Award Winning trainers share their training secrets via instant access videos, PDF's & group coaching to help you to transform your adolescent dog's behaviour

  • Is your adolescent dog testing boundaries?
  • Trying out new behaviours?
  • Completely ignoring previously learnt obedience cues?  
  • Do they ignore you when you call them?
  • Has the bond you seemed to have previously totally vanished?
  • Have you run out of things to teach?

Your adolescent dog can be a precious bundle of joy, and make a big impact on your family. However, it is very easy to become overwhelmed and disheartened as a wilful and naughty teenage dog emerges from your cute little puppy.
Adolesences is hard on both you and your dog. Please remember that your dog is still young, and hasn't learned how to live with your all your rules yet, or how to understand it's body, so please be patient.  

We are here to support you every step of the way.
