​TERRIBLE TEEN PROGRAM

DOGS FROM AGE ​6 MONTHS to ONE AND A HALF YEARS

During this period of time your dog will probably be acting like a human teenager. It will seem like they have forgotten everything you taught them. But don't worry, with lots of patience, this program will help you handle that extra energy your dog is exhibiting and bring them back to focus and calm. I call this time the terrible teen years, but don't worry, it doesn't last long.

I BELIEVE IN
​POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT TRAINING.

Positive reinforcement training allows you to communicate clearly with your dog. When you reward your dog for doing things correctly, it's more likely they will repeat those good behaviours. If they're misbehaving it's likely they just don't understand what you want from them.
PUNISHMENT IS NOT ALWAYS CLEAR.
