Between rapid brain changes and development, fluctuating hormones, and shifting social and environmental sensitivities, puppies and young dogs can suddenly seem unpredictable or unfocused. It might feel like chaos but it is actually a critical window of opportunity for shaping our future sport partners.

In this webinar, we’ll explore 

  • What’s really happening inside the adolescent canine brain and body

  • How adolescence affects impulse control, emotional regulation, learning, and performance foundations

  • Why some behaviors appear to regress or even disappear adolescence

  • Realistic expectations for training and beginning competition

 

Most importantly, we’ll translate the science into practical, sport–specific training games and strategies. You’ll learn effective ways to

  • Support your young dog through this critical developmental stage

  • Protect (or build!) confidence

  • Improve resilience

  • Reduce stress

  • Balance arousal and attentional states

  • Increase engagement

  • Keep your long-term performance goals on track

  • Learn fun and effective methods to bring out the best in your teenage teammate.
