We work to consistently innovate and improve upon the way that dogs are trained. Dogwise Academy aims to simplify the training process for busy families.

For dogs aged 6–18 months

Navigating the teenage phase of your dog can be challenging. Our Adolescent Obedience Program is designed to guide your growing pup toward becoming a well-mannered, joyful family member.

Why Choose This Program

Your dog will live with an experienced trainer in a home environment, learning practical skills that translate seamlessly to your household. Ideal for busy families, we handle the training, allowing you to enjoy a happier pup and a smoother daily routine.

What Your Dog Will Learn:

Household Manners: Polite greetings, door etiquette, and refraining from counter-surfing.

Impulse Control: Mastering commands like leave it, engaging in calm chewing, and reducing excessive barking.

Advanced Commands: Extended sit/down and stay, structured heel and leash walking, reliable recall, even amidst distractions, and name recognition to ensure attentiveness.

How the Program Works

Training occurs in a real home setting, ensuring skills are relevant and lasting. You'll receive daily updates with photos, videos, and progress reports to keep you informed. Two in-person handover sessions will equip you with the tools to maintain success. Additionally, you'll have access to digital guides and ongoing trainer support for continued progress.

Is This Program Right for Your Dog?

This program is ideal for dogs who:

Pull on walks or ignore commands.  
Bolt through doors or jump on guests.  
Chew on shoes or bark excessively.

Training is not about exerting control; it's about building trust and fostering joy. Let's work together to help your adolescent pup grow into the companion you've always envisioned. If you're ready for a calmer household, reach out to one of our Pet Consultants today!
