ADOLESCENTS

20231121_153824(0).jpg

Did you adopt a cute little puppy, who hit 6 months old and it appears their brain fell out? Or maybe you've just adopted a teenage dog and are questioning your decision! You're not alone!

​

The majority of dogs given up for rehoming are adolescents, and there is a reason for that! Adolescence can be HARD.

​

It can be hard for you, hard for your dog, and sometimes feel like your life is recurring 24 hour cycles of literal blood, sweat and tears.

​

Teenage brains are under development, add into the mix puberty and your dog has a lot going at during this life stage.

​

That said, it doesn't need to be the cause of your whole family turning grey overnight!

​

With the use of management, dog-centred enrichment and training I can work to help you explore how to make life easier on you AND your dog during this phase.
