This is the starting point for the adolescent training system. It explains what is actually happening in your dog’s brain and behaviour at this stage, and shows you how to rebuild calm, structure, and basic cooperation before you try to fix specific problems. If you skip this stage, you will struggle later. This is a self-guided training module. It does not include 1-to-1 support, messaging, or individual feedback. This system is built in stages. Each stage prepares your dog for the next one. Skipping steps, jumping ahead, or mixing methods usually creates confusion and slow progress. Follow the system in order and trust the process.
