Life Skills Junior

Level 1

Is your dog aged 5 to 24 months and going through their adolescent phase? If so, the Life Skills Junior course is the perfect solution to help you and your dog navigate this tricky stage of development.

Adolescence, which begins around 5 months and typically lasts until 18 months, is often a challenging time for dog owners. It’s when your once-perfect puppy starts testing boundaries and can feel like a “hooligan hound”! Our course is designed to tackle these challenges head-on, giving you the tools and knowledge to guide your dog through adolescence successfully.
