Teen Classes in Confederation Park, NDG
Dogs transition from puppy-hood to adolescence between the fourth and fifth months. During this phase, dogs become more rambunctious and obnoxious.
Adolescence is also known as the flight period because dogs start to run away from their owners to discover the world. Teens are often more destructive, reactive, vocal, fearful, anxious, or aggressive.
Dogs must be between 5 and 11 months to register for this class. We do not accept reactive or aggressive dogs in group classes. Barking dogs might be asked to leave if they disrupt the class.
Registration is ongoing, so you can register and start classes at any time if a spot is available.
If you register on week three of the program, you will do classes three, four, five, one, and two. The class order does not impact your or the dog's learning.
