Adolescent Dog Training (For dogs 5 months and older)
We can teach impulse control, learning not to jump up, reliable recall and loose lead walking all are fantastic dog training skills for your dog to master. It’s an exciting world out there and our dog’s naturally don’t have these skills, but they can be taught them with consistency and training. When dog’s hit adolescence it can feel that all their training has disappeared and it can be very frustrating. With our adolescent classes you’ll receive lots of training to get your dog back on track. This class is suitable for older dogs over 20 weeks and/or who have graduated from our puppy class.
We will teach and give guidance on:
Dog body language
We will cover dog body language – our favourite subject! We will teach you to know whether your dog (or other dogs) are comfortable in a situation or not – this is important to notice so you can prevent problems from the outset. We can teach you subtle dog body language signals to look for in other dogs so you can avoid any problems in the park.
Basic Manners
We will teach basic manners such as: wait, not jumping up, hand targeting, eye contact (these can all be very useful in day to day situations when you would like your dog to relax, be patient or focus on you instead of the big fluffy dog in the distance!
Life – saving skills
We will teach how to leave items on the floor (people leave so much rubbish on the floor which is dangerous for your dog and can lead to expensive vet bills.) We will teach drop so you can have your comfy slipper back!
For times you’re out in the countryside with your dog, we can also teach them to come back when called – avoiding stress and fear.
Settling down and being calm
We have guidance on teaching your dog to settle down quietly on their bed while you’re busy working or helping your children with their homework. We also can suggest activities to keep them occupied, content and entertained.
Some more manners
We have some loose leash walking solutions so your dog learns to walk nicely on the lead down the street without pulling towards other dogs and people. We can teach them how to not jump up on you, others, the kitchen counter in search of food.
Life is about having fun!
Who says an old dog can’t learn new tricks?! Not us! We can teach some tricks that you and your family can teach your superstar dog.
Equipment
We will also teach you how to set your dog up for success in their environment by relevant activities chews and toys and tell you about the equipment you’ll need for training.
I set up the adolescent dog class as adolescence can be a stressful and dangerous time – it can feel as if training has disappeared. Adolescence can be a tough time due to all the brain changes that your dog is experiencing – the ace adolescent class is here to help equip you with tools and techniques to help your dog thrive.
We really enjoyed the training and we’ve been practicing at home and he is doing well not pulling.
(My dog) had so much fun along the way and learnt so much! ❤️
It was an excellent training session. We learned a lot.
I’ve really bonded with my dog during the classes. Thank you!

I would highly recommend Lisa for dog and puppy training!
We took our excitable golden retriever Toast to her adolescent classes late last year.
Toast knew all the basics but we were looking for ways to engage him and further develop his training throughout the teenage phase. Lisa was patient and kind and Toast loved being around her and the other dogs in the group. We learnt so much that we were able to build upon at home. At the end of each session Lisa even send you a worksheet which we still use now to continue Toasts training.
I would recommend this class to anyone who feels like they need further training but is worried that their dog is too old for puppy classes!
