Basic Manners for Adolescents
Dog adolescence is a challenging developmental stage, but we can help! Many pet parents are prepared for the craziness that is puppyhood, but fewer are prepared for the difficulties adolescence brings. Dogs are considered adolescents from 6 months of age to physical maturity around 2-3 years old, with the most challenging of behavior concerns typically occurring between 6 to 12 months of age.
We will help you bond with your teenage dog, continue appropriate socialization for their current stage of development, as well as troubleshooting basic skills and manners that your dog may have “forgotten” as well as those still needing to be learned.

Basic Manners for Adults
Adult and senior dogs DO continue to learn! Our dogs learn their foundational skills and what works in their life and environment through approximately the first 2 years of life, when they go through most of their developmental stages and a significant amount of learning.
Whether your adult or senior dog needs to continue to build new skills for navigating various environments, or you want to refresh certain skills and manners, we can help. Behavior changes take time, and the longer your dog has practiced certain habits, the more difficult it is to effectively change them. We want to help you identify and teach what you would like your dog TO do while still meeting your dog’s needs and wants for an overall high quality of life for all.
