Middle School
If your dog is between 7-24 months, they are in the dreaded “teenager” phase. You may be experiencing a sudden increase in issues like pulling on leash, jumping/humping and mouthing, inappropriate social behaviors with other dogs, excessive barking, and more - all while completely blowing off cues you swore they had mastered.
In Middle School, you will learn to channel your teen's boundless energy into a series of fun and practical skills that repair your bond and address those adolescent problem behaviors. If you’re feeling frustrated by your teenage pup’s “naughty” behaviors, this class will set you up for a calm and cooperative future with your dog!

Class set up
Each team gets their own enclosed training area which allows you and your dog to work safely off leash. We use sheets to provide a visual barrier between all students in class and gradually fade those sheets out as your dog gets better at working in the presence of distractions.
