Teenage Principles Classes

TEENAGE PRINCIPLES GROUP CLASSES

Our Teenage Principle Class is targeted at supporting continued confidence building, manners and skill development with your dog beyond puppyhood. These classes are platformed around a positive relationship-based approach towards training, whilst instilling a proactive approach and association with learning and working together for both human and dog.

Our teenage classes focus directly on meeting your adolescent dogs needs according to this important mental and physical stage of development. This includes continued development with their obedience and impulse control foundations, building further self-confidence and resilience, whilst mastering basic engagement and focus in a group setting.

These classes are an amazing opportunity for you to be guided by a nationally accredited and experienced industry professional on how to bring out the absolute best in your individual dog!

Our comprehensive curriculum and program covers everything you need to know about building excellent communication channels with your dog and progressing their obedience onto verbal cue. This program provides you a great structure on how to reinforce the best behaviours and responses in your dog whilst providing a range of insights and information aimed at educating and empowering!

Our Teenage Principles Classes are for dogs aged 6-8 months of age. If you have a younger puppy or older dog check out our other classes suitable to their age, development and skills or get in touch with us today.
