Puppies transition from puppy-hood to adolescents between the fourth and fifth month of age. The fifth month marks the beginning of adolescence when dogs become more rambunctious and obnoxious. Furthermore, teenage dogs start to run away from their owners during this phase and can become more destructive, reactive, vocal, fearful, anxious or aggressive. 

Our adolescent group classes are offered at the Jeanne-Mance park on the corner of Duluth and Esplanade, in Montreal, to dogs between 4 months and 11 months of age. Dogs 6 months and older will normally start to reproduce; therefore, dogs who attend group classes will have to bring proof of sterilization (females only); we don't want accidental babies ;-) Below is a summary of our course content.
