Adolescence typically starts around 5–6 months and can last up to 2 years or longer, depending on the dog.
This is the stage where many owners notice their dog suddenly stops listening, becomes more distracted, or starts developing challenging behaviours.
This is one of the most common frustrations during adolescence.
As dogs mature, their focus shifts, distractions become more important, and they start testing boundaries. It can feel like training has “stopped working”—but in reality, your dog just needs a different approach at this stage.
This behaviour is completely normal.
Your dog isn’t being “bad” or stubborn—they’re going through a developmental phase. With the right training, this stage can be managed and improved significantly.
I work with a range of common adolescent challenges, including:
Poor recall
Pulling on the lead
Over-excitement
Jumping up
Not listening around distractions
Struggling to settle
If you’re unsure, we can talk through your specific situation on a call.
Yes—but training isn’t just about food.
I’ll show you how to use rewards effectively while also building focus, boundaries, and real-life reliability.
Yes—I provide 1:1 adolescent dog training in Solihull and surrounding areas, focusing on real-life situations where behaviour actually matters.
I offer puppy training in Solihull and surrounding areas, including both group classes and personalised support through my programmes.
Puppy training focuses on building early foundations.
Adolescent training is about:
Rebuilding focus
Strengthening behaviour around distractions
Working through real-life challenges
It’s more personalised and adapted to your dog’s current behaviour.
That’s very common during adolescence.
Many dogs become more sensitive or reactive during this stage, especially around other dogs or people. This is something I can help you work through step by step.
This depends on your dog and what you’re working on.
Some owners need a small amount of guidance, while others benefit from more ongoing support. This is something we’ll discuss on your call so you get the right level of help.
This is something I hear all the time.
Often, it’s not that you’ve done anything wrong—it’s just that adolescence requires a different approach.
With the right guidance, things can improve much more quickly than you might expect.
The first step is booking a free call.
We’ll talk about your dog, what you’re struggling with, and what you’d like to achieve—then I’ll guide you on the best next step.
