| Tue-22-07-2025 to Mon-04-08-2025 ACE Adolescence is a two week online interactivee course. Adolescent dogs are more likely to be surrendered or abandoned, but with greater understanding, and building quiet connections at a pace to suit each individual dog, we can support the maturing dog at a time when they are probably at their most vulnerable. Many adolescent dogs become body sensitive around the five month mark and this, coupled with the natural biological process of the adolescent period, can lead to misunderstanding and confusion which in turn creates conflict and can break down the relationship between the adolescent dog and the guardian(s). Should we really be intensifying abd accelerating socialisation and training, as many suggest, or should we be focusing on refining a more flexible strategy to support dogs, and their guardians through this wonderful, but sometimes challenging, phase. Instead of thinking about what we should teach adolescent dogs, let’s consider what we can learn from them. Course includes access to online content, two live Zooms, and a dedicated FB group where you can upload practice videos for feedback, should you choose to do so. | Two weeks | Online | Sarah Fisher Instructor | 01761 471182 Website Please contact the office for further information, or enrol online to book your place. | None |
