ADOLESCENTS
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.
I can help with:
​
-
Over excitement/inability to settle
