Teenage Kicks | Adolescent Puppy Training 6–12 Months

Whether you’re just starting your training journey or ready to level up with advanced skills, if your puppy is 6–12 months old, you’re in the right place! Teenage Kicks is a fully tailored 1:1 training programme designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward. What we cover depends on your dog’s previous training and your personal goals.

This could mean going back to basics, tightening obedience around distractions, stopping unwanted behaviours, or mastering advanced off-lead skills — all while navigating the classic challenges and comedy of the teenage phase: selective hearing, boundary pushing, and bursts of chaos!

We focus on recall, loose lead walking, calm greetings, jumping, building confidence in busy places, teaching your dog to settle calmly in real-life situations — from cafés and commutes to the office — and developing reliable off-lead obedience for more freedom and control.

  • Our training methods are centered around creating lifelong bonds between dogs and their owners. We believe that dogs deserve the best life possible, and we strive to achieve this through our positive reinforcement techniques. We teach dogs to behave well because they want to, not because they fear consequences. Our ultimate goal is for dogs to have a happy, healthy, and well-balanced life with their human companions.

    Some of the methods we use include:

    Positive reinforcement: We use rewards and praise to encourage desired behaviors and make training sessions fun and engaging for both dogs and owners.

    Reward-based training: Treats, toys, and verbal encouragement are used to motivate dogs and make learning more enjoyable.

    Gentle guidance: We provide clear, consistent commands and gentle guidance when necessary, ensuring that dogs feel supported and comfortable during training.

    By focusing on building strong relationships and using positive reinforcement techniques, we help dogs become well-behaved and confident members of their families.

  • Our puppy training sessions take place at your home and in local parks, cafes, and other dog-friendly places. We start in your home environment to build a strong foundation and ensure your pup feels comfortable, then progress to real-world settings for more advanced training.

    Our in-home sessions are designed to be convenient for busy pet owners, saving you time and hassle. This allows you to focus on building a lasting bond with your furry friend while we provide the expertise and guidance needed to create a well-behaved, confident, and adaptable companion.

  • Each puppy training session lasts for one hour, as we've found this duration to be ideal for both the pup's learning capacity and the owner's progress.

    Puppies have limited attention spans and can become overwhelmed if sessions are too long. By keeping each session to one hour, we can maintain your pup's focus and ensure they absorb the training effectively.

    For owners, one-hour sessions allow you to learn and practise new techniques without feeling overwhelmed. This duration also enables us to provide personalised guidance and address any specific concerns or challenges you may be facing with your pup.

  • Yes, we provide home-based holiday boarding services for your pup in Bristol, ensuring they receive exceptional care and attention while you're away. Our in-home boarding option serves as a fantastic alternative to traditional kennels.

    Choose from holiday boarding with training or simply opt for outstanding care. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in the best hands, allowing you to enjoy your time away stress-free.
