Adolescence can be… a lot. Whether your dog is in their teenage phase or just new to training, Starting Zone helps you build useful life skills and a strong foundation of trust and communication.

We’ll focus on:

  • Loose leash walking
  • Polite greetings
  • Handler engagement
  • Impulse control

…all with an emphasis on clarity and connection—not rigid obedience.

Perfect for:

  • Adolescent dogs navigating big feeling
  • Recently adopted adults learning the ropes
  • Guardians who want real-life training that works
     

Requirements: Dogs must be able to work around other dogs without on-leash reactivity. If your dog struggles with that, check out our Charisma Series for reactivity foundations.
