Pawsitively Growing: Navigating Your Dog’s Teenage Years
Part of the Pawsitive Series by Paws Academy
Adolescence is one of the most misunderstood stages in a dog’s life, but it doesn’t have to be a battle.
This book, written by Renee Patience (head trainer and founder of Paws Academy), is your realistic, no-nonsense guide to understanding what’s really going on during your dog’s teenage months. From sudden behavioural shifts to emotional ups and downs, you’ll find practical, positive strategies that support both you and your dog, without any harsh methods or unrealistic expectations.
Perfect for anyone feeling unsure, stuck, or simply curious about what’s normal during this phase. Whether your dog is suddenly ignoring cues, reacting differently to other dogs, or just not quite themselves, you’re not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong.
What’s inside:
Clear explanations of adolescent behaviour (minus technical jargen!)
Training tips that actually work in real life
Guidance on social changes, emotional growth, and physical development
Tools to help you build trust and stay connected through it all
This is a book for the messy middle, that part of dog training no one talks about enough, and it’s part of the best selling Pawsitive Series created to support dogs and their people, every step of the way.
