September 15, 9-5:  From Maddening to Maturity:  Understanding and Helping the Adolescent Dog
This workshop is designed for anyone who deals with adolescent dogs (aged 4 months to 4 years), their reactivity, impulsivity and the challenges of adolescence.  Her Relationship Centered Training™ (RCT) approach to adolescents focuses on three areas of the teenage dog’s life:  relationship with handler; social life (other people, dogs & animals); and life skills (self control, basic manners, coping skills).  For each area, we will explore ways to assess each dog’s strengths and limits, how the handler can support the dog, what skills need to be developed, and how to recognize problems that must be addressed.
