Adolescent Academy — Keep the Chaos in Check

Teenage dogs can be frustrating — pulling on lead, ignoring recall, and testing every boundary. This casual, supportive class helps you navigate this stage with practical skills and renewed confidence. Think of it as a reset button for both ends of the lead.

What’s Included

  • Drop-in style training (attend when it suits you!)

  • 1-hour group sessions held fortnightly

  • Calm focus, recall, loose-lead walking & real-life manners

  • Coaching on handling overstimulation, frustration & impulse control

  • A relaxed, non-judgy space to keep learning and progressing

Who It’s For

Dogs aged 6–18 months who have completed basic training or Puppy Pre-School. Ideal for those who’ve hit the “selective hearing” stage or are struggling with teenage antics.

Benefits

  • Continue your training momentum through adolescence

  • Improve focus and calm in distracting environments

  • Learn how to manage excitement, pulling, and teenage boundary-pushing

  • Strengthen your bond through positive, consistent practice

Testimonials

"Zen & I had our 1st group training session 2day. Bridget was so professional in the way she runs her group class. Bridget is so patient & she explains & demonstrates every exercise. If there's any confusion Bridget doesn't hesitate on going through the exercise with you. I'm looking forward to our 2nd class in 2wks time”

FAQs

Can I join anytime? Yes! Classes are casual attendance. You can book per session or use a pass.
Do we need prior training? It helps, but I’ll meet you where you're at. If your dog struggles in a group, 1:1 might be a better fit.
Can my dog attend if they bark/react around other dogs? Get in touch and we’ll chat through whether this is the right environment.
