ADOLESCENT GUNDOGS

Adolescent Gundogs

Getting through the next chapter with your pet gundog puppy;

The Adolescent Stage!

What you'll learn

The course aims to help you understand what's happening with your adolescent teenage puppy and key life skills to get through the next few months.

There is no/very little gundog skills taught in this course; but more about teaching your dog the skills to grow and connect with you in the exciting and distracting environments, but also teaching you how to deal with the issues that come with an adolescent dog.

Some of the key life skills you'll learn:

Ability to focus, connect and listen with distractions present
Making good decisions and the right choices
Strengthen the foundation skills developed from the Puppy course; such as lead walking & recall
Ability to engage with other dogs in close proximity
Ability to control impulses and frustration

The course is taught in a fun way for both you and your adolescent dog and uses food and toy based reinforcement with the emphasis on it being an enjoyable experience for you and your puppy in an outside, relaxed and 'real life' style environment and not in a training hall.

Included in the course:

7 week course - 1 hour sessions
Smaller groups - max 6 dogs per group
Access link to the Paws & Play Gundogs App; Video & written-based homework reminders
Certificate of Attendance & end of term Puppy Gift pack
