Training for 9 Months and Above
Our 9 Months & Older Training Program is built for dogs entering adolescence and young adulthood — a stage where habits are forming, independence is growing, and new challenges often appear.
Whether you’re starting training for the first time or revisiting the basics, this program focuses on building reliable obedience, calm behavior, and confidence in real-world settings.
Using clear, kind, and effective methods, you’ll work on:
- Leash Manners
- Recall
- Calm Greetings
- Impulse Control
- Focus Around Distractions
We also address common behavioral issues at this age, like:
- Pulling
- Barking
- Reactivity
- Not Listening When It Matters Most
This program meets your dog where they are — helping you reset, reinforce, and move forward with a solid foundation and better communication.
