Adolescence / Life Skills

Picture the scene: your puppy is making leaps and bounds in their training progress, things are all coming together nicely and you start to relax into life together. Then, one day your dog gets out of bed and is like a whole other dog has taken their place. Suddenly, they’ve lost their recall, they can’t hear your cues or act like you’ve never taught them a “sit” or a “down” in their entire life and you’re wondering whatever happened to your sweet, sweet puppy. Sound familiar?

Welcome to adolescence!

Your dog is going through a lot of changes during this time and although it can be frustrating for us owners, they will get through it. And just like with a human teenager, support and understanding are a must when dealing with hormones.

Howls & Prowls offers a Life Skills class, perfect for those adolescent dogs who just need to reminder of what they have learned previously and to keep on top of their training routine throughout all the changing happening to them. They will get through this stage, and we are here to support you and them through it all.
