Your dog changes from puppy to adulthood via adolescence. This change happens anywhere from 6 months and ends as late as 24 months. During this time, there are dramatic hormonal changes and brain reorganization. Adolescent dogs have lots of energy and low impulse control when they play, explore and interact both with dogs and humans.
This class helps strengthen the human relationship with their teenage canine companion. Duration of behaviours is taught through defining and practicing criteria.
Topics covered include:
- Luring, Capturing and Shaping Behaviour
- Settle vs Down vs Calm
- Relaxing around the environment
- Tiredness vs Overstimulation
