Teen Classes in Confederation Park
Dogs transition from puppy-hood to adolescence between the fourth and fifth months of age. 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.
Registration is ongoing, which means you can register and start classes at any time if there's a spot available.
All 5 classes must be done consecutively, with no exceptions.
Spaces are limited to 4 dogs. Classes are in English.
We require proof of current vaccination prior to attending the 1st teen class.
We do not take reservations.
