Your puppy was perfect!
until adolescence arrived.

What has gone wrong?

Welcome to the teenage dog.

Lack of focus, sudden deafness or a seeming inability to remember that ‘yes, we have worked on this before’ suddenly seems to be the norm

Your teenage dog is going through not only physical but emotional and mental changes.

It is a time when we need to balance patience with compassion through mindful guidance, supported by continued training and management.

If you are perplexed about how to get that busy young dog brain back on track, let’s get together to work on core concepts that will cut through the cultural fog of ‘dominant’, ‘willful’ and ‘stubborn’ labels which seem to get stuck on our dog.

How much instruction do you want or need?

I can provide you with a single training session or create a detailed training series we can work towards your goals.


All training is designed to match your dog and their personality to your goals while enabling and empowering confidence, trust, and reliability.

working towards off-leash with distractions (turkeys)

Going from on leash to off leash is asking your dog for more complex decision making choices.

Does your dog have the skills to successfully respond? Or do you
cross your fingers each time you unsnap the leash?

If you would like to feel more confident or gain more insight into defining when to unclip the leash, contact me for teaching choices that do not create fear or anxiety for your dog.
