Positive Reinforcement Dog Training with certified dog trainers
Your puppy needs more guidance now than ever!
This is a time to cultivate the behaviors you want to live with long-term. Whatever behaviors your dog is rehearsing at this age may define how they behave as a mature adult dog.
Adolescent dogs are going through developmental shifts that can cause them to behave in ways that seem irrational, shocking, and uncharacteristic of innocent puppy you thought you’d raised.
As the brain develops and hormones change, the needs of the adolescent brain are constantly shifting and evolving.
Learn to Love Training Together!
“I have to say this course was a wonderful investment for our puppy. I am grateful for the continued access to the videos, network, and live behavior chat. We feel supported and lucky to tap into the passion and advocacy for dogs that Noble Woof trainers have.”
