Has your puppy become a teenager and gone from coming when you call them to forgetting their name and not listening to any of your cues?
CSDT specializes in helping owners navigate the ups and downs of adolescence so you can enjoy your dog in your everyday life. Ready to enjoy your dog again?
We specialize in helping you navigate the ups and downs of adolescence, so you can enjoy your dog in real life
Designed for adolescent dogs from one to three years old
Your adorable puppy is now a moody teenager. They’re jumping on neighbors, pulling you on walks, lunging towards dogs or squirrels, and sniffing in the yard instead of coming inside. Sound familiar?
If you feel like your puppy has suddenly forgotten everything they know, you’re not alone. Welcome to adolescence!
Whether you're struggling with leash pulling, unreliable recall, jumping on guests, or simply a puppy regression, our coaching or done for you packages will carry you and your dog through the teenage months and beyond. Let’s get started, so you can enjoy the adventures, cuddles, and everyday life you imagined with your dog.
“Jackie is an extraordinary trainer of both people and canines. We are having a ton of fun working with our dogs in new ways. Give them a try, I think you will share our sentiment.”
