During their “teen months,” pups seem to forget all that they know and start exerting their free will. Focusing can be a real problem. Everything is more exciting than the person at the end of the leash!

Through exercises in impulse control combined with positive reinforcement, these puppies and young dogs will learn to focus on their handlers while working on basic obedience cues: Sit, down, stay, come and walk on leash.

Class will meet in Fort Collins parks, quiet parks to start followed by busier parks as the pups’ skills improve. It is a perfect class for your adolescent dog who is between 6 months and 18 months old. No previous training is required for this class.

Registration is through City of Fort Collins Parks and Recreation at fc.gov/recreator
