Surviving your Dog’s Adolescent/Teenage Years

- What behaviors are prevalent among teenage dogs, such as impulsivity and focusing issues

- Why dogs get relinquished to shelters at a higher percentage during this time. It’s a hard time for both dog and human

- Heather explains the “why” behind the behaviors and the steps that can be taken. And that includes LOTS OF PATIENCE

- “Burning off Energy” is not a simple fix. Instead, its much deeper than that. Including rewarding desired behaviors with treat stations.
