Follow On Puppy - Adolescent Dog Class

6-week course - for or puppies that have completed the foundation class or aged 6 – 18 months.

This course continues the learning for you and your young dog. We will introduce distractions and ask for increased focus in different situations. We will show you how to use games to increase your value to your dog when out and about in different environments – your dog will see you as the fun person they will choose to be with. You will learn new skills that will help you deal with situations that may arise as your puppy starts to become an adult.
