Teenagers!!

Not a baby but also not ready for total independence yet

Roughly 6 months to 2 years in age

Trainer Alex Krikorian greeting George the adolescent Wheaten Terrier

 

The Adolescent phase is all about adaptation…

because our teenage dogs are changing constantly! Their energy and awareness grow daily while they are also developing more instincts. All of which need guidance from us, to ensure they develop into wonderful family members and friends. This is the beginning of really structured obedience with stricter boundaries and much longer, more intense play sessions together. Any of our programs are a good fit for dogs in this age group!
