Adolescence can be a tricky stage in a dog's life, and it’s completely normal for communication with teenage dogs to feel a bit frustrating at times. This class is all about using the joy of play to help guide both you and your dog through these challenging moments in their youth.

During this phase, adolescent dogs often grapple with relaxation, confidence, and focus, but with the right play techniques, we can really strengthen these skills. One of the greatest benefits of teaching your dog how to play properly is that it empowers them to self-regulate during times of emotional excitement or stress. In this class, we’ll cover a range of topics including effective management around play, understanding toy preferences, and exploring enrichment needs for dogs. We’ll also dive into teaching your dog how to tug, how to engage in play without toys, and much more!

This is a 5 week class!
