Adolescent Dog Training Classes – Midleton, Cork

When It Feels Like Your Dog Has Forgotten Everything...

Pulling on the lead.

Ignoring commands.

Jumping up.

Over-excitement around people and other dogs.

Suddenly becoming distracted by everything around them.

If this sounds familiar, don't worry.

This is completely normal.

Adolescence is one of the most challenging stages of a dog's development, but it's also one of the most important. With the right guidance and consistency, you can prevent unwanted habits from becoming lifelong behaviours.

Our structured 4-week Adolescent Dog Training Course has been designed to help you rebuild focus, improve communication and develop a calm, reliable dog you can enjoy taking anywhere.

Every exercise builds on the last.

What Is It?

Designed for dogs aged approximately 5–12 months, this course builds on the foundations of good training and prepares your dog for everyday life.

Why This Stage Matters

Between five and twelve months, many dogs begin testing boundaries.

This is when owners often notice pulling, selective hearing, jumping up and increased excitement around people and other dogs.

These behaviours are completely normal—but without the right guidance they can quickly become established habits.

Our structured programme helps you get ahead of these challenges before they become much harder to change.
