Is your dog suddenly ignoring their recall, refusing their crate, forgetting their training, barking back, and the poster-dog for "selective hearing"? You're in the right place. 

If you thought dealing with an adolescent human was hard, just wait until you have an adolescent dog! It's adolescence on fast-forward! 

The stage between 6-18 months of age is not the easiest but is quite fascinating. Let's sit down together and develop some strategies for coping, but also for making the most of this developmental phase that is often overlooked and regarded as something to "get through". 

Are you wondering what to prioritise with your puppy? You are not alone. This is the most common question people ask me about their new puppy. If you have a puppy between the ages of 8 and 20 weeks of age and you feel like you need a better roadmap, look no further. I've got you.

Buckle your seatbelts for a virtual roadtrip through early puppyhood with me. I'm going to give you that roadmap that you so desperately need and want, so that you can feel confident you're doing what's right for your puppy, right now.

I'll give you the answers you're looking for so that you can help your family stay safe while modifying this unnerving behaviour challenge.

Gone are the days of keeping your puppy indoors until they've been fully vaccinated. When we know better, we can do better! Learn how to properly socialise your puppy through safe and gradual exposure, create positive associations, prevent fear and aggression, and build confidence and sociability.
