Adolescents Anonymous: Recommended for ages 5 -18 months old.
This program focuses heavily on common teenage puppy challenges: distractions, jumping, counter-surfing, over-arousal, and deteriorating recall. The curriculum is jam packed with material to set you up for success and a community of friends to motivate your progress from week to week. Foundation skills are reviewed (or introduced): sit, down, stay, hand targeting, settling on a mat, leave it and loose leash walking; then generalized to real life challenges. The world is our classroom and as the week's progress we'll take the training on the road. Space is limited. next series begins the first week of September.
Co-taught:
Caroline Edgar Albert KPA CTP and Cassidy Albert, CPDT-KA

I've had my Morkie, Claudia Jean, at a number of different trainers, obedience and agility classes, both in Vermont and Florida. Caroline is simply the very best. She has a quiet but reassuring manner with both dog and handler, and has taught my pup to behave, pay attention, play and jump hoops almost like magic. We feel very lucky to have found her!"
