Teenage and Rescue Dog Training

As your dog matures, maintaining socialisation in a controlled and appropriate setting remains crucial. The Teenage and Rescue Dog Classes offered by Puppy to Dog School are tailored specifically for dogs that have outgrown the puppy stage or have missed early training. This course is ideal for addressing new behaviors that often emerge during the teenage years, which could become challenging if not managed correctly.

Important Considerations
Please note that this course is not intended for dogs that are reactive, anxious, or exhibit aggressive behaviors. For these dogs, we recommend contacting us directly to arrange 1:1 personalised in-home training tailored to meet their specific needs and ensure a positive outcome for both the dog and the owner. We focus on managing anxiety, reducing reactivity, and creating a safe space for them to thrive.

Training for Teenage Dogs and Rescue Dogs
Training your teenage dog is essential to ensure they develop into well-behaved adult dogs. Teenage dogs often display stubborn or unpredictable behaviors, but with the right guidance, they can learn to become obedient and calm.

Teenage dog obedience classes focus on reinforcing positive behaviors and managing issues like jumping, pulling on the lead, or selective hearing.

For rescue dogs, proper training is key to helping them adjust to their new home. Rescue dog rehabilitation addresses behaviors caused by anxiety, fear, or lack of trust. Our classes include exercises to help with crate training a rescue dog, building their confidence, and improving their interactions with family members.

Building Obedience and Trust
For owners looking to establish general obedience or for those whose dogs need foundational training, this class is designed to help. It’s an excellent fit for teenage dogs that missed initial training opportunities and rescue dogs that might struggle with anxiety or trust issues due to their past experiences.

Our classes provide a supportive environment where your dog can learn to follow basic commands and become a well-adjusted family member. This includes addressing behaviors such as separation anxiety, reactivity, and fear of strangers.

Rescue dog training is a significant part of the course, focusing on gradual trust-building exercises, teaching dogs how to settle into new environments, and addressing any lingering behavioral challenges. This is particularly important for rescue dog socialisation, where your dog can safely interact with other dogs and people in a calm setting.
