The
"Terrible Teens" is one of the most trying times for owners
and is a critical time for the adolescent dog that is gaining
independence, applying early learning (or lack of it) to the
world, and experiencing psychological and physiological
changes. Adolescence is a period when dogs are at the highest
risk for losing their families and/or their lives. The
"Terrible Teens" phenomenon happens for many reasons. Often
puppy owners forget or do not fully understand that raising a
well-behaved and well-adjusted adult dog is a lengthy process
that is subject to a number of developmental stages for the
dog. This can be especially trying when the owners look down
and see what appears to be a fully grown dog. They may wonder
why the wonderful puppy they have spent countless hours
guiding is suddenly behaving badly or has not “grown out” of a
behavior. Or it could be a case of an adolescent puppy
relinquished to a shelter or back to the breeder having a
difficult time adjusting to a new home, a different set of
rules, and a new family.
This
seminar is about those dogs: the untrained, overly-excitable,
bullying, suspicious, fearful, socially awkward, or shy
adolescent and how to help owners teach them to be compliant,
happy companions. Using discussion, video and a live
consultation, Trish King will concentrate on practical tips -
improving management, developing a relationship, handling
techniques, and deciding which exercises might be most
appropriate for teenage dogs. Whether you have a “Terrible
Teen”, or make your living working with or transforming them,
this is the seminar for you!

Consultation Dog Needed
Do you have an adolescent dog that is exhibiting problematic
behavior? Is he socially inappropriate? Does he lack impulse
control? Is he getting in trouble and you need some fresh
advice? We will be selecting one or possibly two participants'
dogs to help during the live consultation portion of the
seminar. When you register for the seminar, indicate that you
are interested in getting coached by Trish. Candidates for the
consultation will be reviewed by the host and speaker to
determine which scenario will be best for this educational
setting as well as for dog and owner. Registration for the
seminar can not be contingent on being accepted as the
consultation.
