PUPPY & ADOLESCENT TRAINING
BUILD ON THE FOUNDATIONS AND KEEP PROGRESSING THROUGH ADOLESCENCE
Puppy Skills Progression is a personalised four-session programme for puppies and adolescent dogs who are ready to build on an existing foundation stage.
Across four 55-minute sessions, we’ll develop those skills further, adapt the training as your dog matures, and practise in more varied real-life situations, with six months of online access and support alongside your training.
FOUNDATIONS FIRST, THEN PROGRESSION
As puppies move into adolescence, the world can become more exciting, distracting, and sometimes more difficult to navigate. Puppy Skills Progression is designed for dogs who have already completed Puppy Life Skills or another suitable foundation programme and are ready to build on what they’ve learned.
We’ll take those existing skills into more varied situations, adapt the training as your dog develops, and help them keep making progress through adolescence and everyday life.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Puppy Skills Progression combines personalised one-to-one training with relevant online learning and between-session support, helping you build on existing foundations and apply them more successfully in everyday life.

HOW PUPPY SKILLS PROGRESSION WORKS
The programme builds on skills your dog already has, with each session shaped around their development, your priorities, and the situations you want to handle more successfully in everyday life.
START WITH YOUR EXISTING FOUNDATIONS
We’ll look at the skills your dog already has, what’s working well, and where adolescence or everyday distractions are making things harder.
BUILD THE NEXT LAYER
We’ll develop those foundations further, increasing difficulty gradually and helping your dog use familiar skills in more challenging situations.
PRACTISE IN REAL LIFE
We’ll work in situations that are relevant to you and your dog, so the training becomes more useful outside a quiet practice environment.
ADAPT AS YOUR DOG DEVELOPS
We’ll review progress, adjust the training as needed, and keep building the skills that will help your dog navigate adolescence with more confidence and consistency.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Puppy Skills Progression is about helping your dog use the foundations they already have in more challenging, distracting, and realistic situations.
RESPONDING AROUND DISTRACTIONS
KEEP SKILLS WORKING IN REAL LIFE
Help your dog respond more reliably when the environment becomes more interesting, exciting, or difficult to ignore.
FLEXIBILITY AND SELF-CONTROL
MAKE BETTER CHOICES UNDER PRESSURE
Build your dog’s ability to pause, adjust, and make better choices when they can’t immediately do or have what they want.
CONFIDENCE IN NEW SITUATIONS
TAKE SKILLS INTO THE WIDER WORLD
Support your dog in using familiar skills in different places, around new experiences, and in situations that feel less predictable.
ADAPTING THROUGH ADOLESCENCE
KEEP TRAINING MOVING FORWARD
Learn how to adjust expectations and training as development changes behaviour, motivation, confidence, and attention.
