Teen Tyrants!

FOR ADOLESCENTS BETWEEN 6 - 24 MONTHS
New class starts Thursday, January 19 @ 1 pm

Adolescence is a time of "big feelings" for your pup. Your dog's brain is still developing and while they may look grown-up, teenagers don't yet have the mental capacity or the emotional development of an adult dog.

Join our Teen Tyrants class and help your teen thrive! We focus on core life skills including:
  • Voluntary check-ins/Focus on handler in the face of distractions
  • Loose leash walking
  • Coming when called
  • Settling and relaxing on a portable mat/bed
  • Wait and stay
  • Positive interrupter
  • Touch (nose to hand)
We also focus on teaching your dog to greet other dogs and people politely and, equally importantly, to "mind your beeswax" and not greet, unless given permission to do so. 

The course includes:
  • ​One in-home visit: We start with an in-home visit prior to class where we will prepare you for class by introducing you to the curriculum and getting you started on some exercises. This will help your dog be able to focus on you in the group setting. 
  • Four group sessions.
  • Small class size - three dogs per class. 
  • ​Access to extensive online material that complements the classes and helps you practice at home.  
CLASSES TAKE PLACE OUTDOORS AT THE POWELL RIVER FARMER'S MARKET. IF IT IS RAINING WE WORK INDOORS IN THE QUONSET HUT 

New class starting January 19, 2023! 

In-home visits are scheduled prior to start of class once registration is completed.

​Please book your in-home session to take place between January 3 - 17 using the scheduling software.
