ADOLESCENT GUNDOGS WITH

Being the guardian of an adolescent gundog can be challenging.
They are impulsive, all that training that you did when they were puppies appears to have been totally pointless and your adolescent gundog doesn't seem to be aware you exist when you get outside the back door.
Let me begin by reassuring you that all of these things are normal. But however ‘normal’ these behaviours are, it can be tricky to know the best course of action regarding your training and expectations during this time.
Through this masterclass, we aim to help you understand the adolescent gundog better in order to support both of you through this period.
We will look at brain development during the adolescent phase, why they behave the way they do, and most importantly, what to do about it and what do these dogs need from us.
We will be identifying and discussing common behaviour problems that arise during this time as well as giving practical advice on training and behaviour modification.
