Adolescence is one of the trickiest (and most misunderstood) phases of dog ownership—but what if you could actually use this stage to create a stronger, more connected partnership with your dog? In this episode of The Walk & Talk, I’m breaking down the science behind your teenage dog’s wild behaviour, why they’re suddenly ignoring you, and how you can navigate this phase with confidence. If you’re pulling your hair out over your dog’s sudden selective hearing, off-the-wall energy, or newfound sass—this one’s for you!

🎧 Pop in your headphones, hit play, and let’s turn this challenging stage into an opportunity for growth. Want an easy, done-for-you training plan to help? Download my Recall Training Pack or Reactivity Training Pack today! 🚀🐕
