Training for Teenagers
The Dreaded Teenager Stage!
(6 Months to 3 Years)
Your dog has suddenly forgotten recall and the rest of the world is so exciting for them?
Yeah, that's your dog becoming a teenager!
If your dog seems to have forgotten everything, have a lack of focus, or they have developed the common issue of 'selective hearing', you're not alone. This is typical teenage dog chaos that CAN be helped! I have lots of course options that will help you navigate this period without losing your mind.
Hannah is amazing!! We have used her twice for both our girls. We have learnt so much and the training Hannah does is a breath of fresh air. Positive reinforcement and two dogs that are always switched on wanting to engage in training. We have two well mannered Labradors which is all down to Hannah’s training, tips and advice. I wouldn’t ever want anyone else involved in our dogs training as Hannah has got it right from the moment she met our girls and will not hesitate to ask for advice in future. Thank you as always from our family!

Troublesome Teenagers to Perfect Pooches!
About the program:
When our dogs hit about 6 months old, they enter into the next stage of their lives: The dreaded 'teenager' stage. This is where they start to show unwanted behaviours, including things like chewing and jumping, which you thought you'd already got over!
​
During this stage, your dog is learning that it's okay to ignore mum and dad sometimes, and that there is some really exciting stuff in the world! Just like in humans, teenage dogs are seen as stubborn and naughty, and this stage can last until your dog is about 2 years old, so it's important that you get some help before it gets too bad!
What's included:
-
x4 private sessions, 1 hour each, individually customised just for you and your dog, with weekly homework.
-
Lifetime access to my ebook: Troublesome Teenagers to Perfect Pooches.
-
Lifetime access to my recall program: Rebellious to Remarkable Recall.

Rebellious to Remarkable Recall
Does your dog only listen when there’s no distractions? Come back to you when they are ready? Ignore you around other dogs? How many times have you wished your dog could be off lead, running around and enjoying themselves... without you stressing and worrying!?
I get it! I used to have one of those dogs too, and I just wished I could trust him enough to not worry. Eventually, I cracked it! But I wondered if there was an easier way...
Now, hundreds of dogs later, I've perfected my recall training and put it together as a program so that you too, can have your dog off lead!
"Wonderful, caring, and very patient! Shadow has benefitted from her wisdom and he has come on leaps and bounds!"

Behaviour Change Takes Time
The teenage stage is definitely the hardest stage, and although I can help you make it easier, it is important to know that regression is normal, and behaviour can sometimes temporarily worsen due to other factors, such as hormones and socialisation.
​
This stage is difficult, but it is developmentally normal. Set backs, regressions, and your dog's inconsistency is NOT bad training - it is normal. As long as YOU are consistent, calm, and confident, your dog will follow your lead.
