Dog Obedience Training in Calgary | Adolescent Ascent

Adolescent Ascent is a dog obedience training class in Calgary specifically for teenage dogs and their owners. Adolescence marks a period of change for dogs. Emotions run high, impulse control may wane, and decision-making may not align with our expectations. However, fear not! Our Adolescent Ascent program is carefully crafted to tackle these challenges head-on.

During this 8-hour course, you will learn how to establish suitable boundaries for your dog based on their current stage of development. Moreover, you’ll master the art of enhancing communication with your canine companion. We’ll dig (pun intended) into obedience, manners, and emotional regulation, equipping you with the tools to navigate those difficult moments (like your dog running the opposite way when you call them) with ease. Join Adolescent Ascent, control the chaos, and ascend to new heights with your dog.
