**update** this sold out way faster than expected. We've added 10 spots at this point, if you tried yesterday and it was sold out, now's your chance, try again!

It's been a few years since we offered our Resource Guarding Seminar, so we figured it was time to refresh it and offer it again! Join Beth McGonigal CBCC, CPDT-KA of North Pittsburgh Animal Behavior and Coleman Fish CVT, and Tena Parker CDBC, CPDT-KA of Success Just Clicks Dog Training in a night of fun talking about spicy dogs!

Join us on April 26th from 6pm-9pm(ish) for a chat about resource guarding at Success Just Clicks on the northside of Pittsburgh. We will be focusing on guarding against humans but will be adding in some new strategies with dog directed resource guarding.

We'll talk about what resource guarding is, strategies to prevent it in new dogs/puppies, simple games you can play to reduce guarding, body language of guarding, management, safety, exercises to help prevent dog to dog guarding with new dogs in the home, and more

Registration is now open!

BRAIN UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
The challenges of teenage dogs
There’s a saying that parents who have gone through the teenage years with their off spring will relate to - “Parents with teenagers understand why some animals eat their young!”

Many dog owners are unaware that dogs also go through a teenage stage and are frustrated and unprepared for the changes this brings. It’s a sad reality that this is the age that many dogs are surrendered to shelters as their owners no longer “like” the way their dogs behave, can’t handle them and give up on them.

The teenage brain is going through many changes. Think of it as being “rewired”. The rewiring process can cause some parts not to work at all or only work sometimes. Some parts work too much with too much current and new wires cause unexpected results.

There are many similarities to the changing human teenage brain. There’s a valid scientific reason why car insurance premiums for young adults under 25 are more expensive. The brain is not fully matured – irrational decisions, risk taking, poor choices and accidents are more likely to happen.

Be patient, understanding and most of all consistent with your teenage dog. Don’t give up on them. They are feeling just as frustrated as we are. Being aware of what is happening in their brain as it develops to full maturity helps us to be more accepting. Remember that this is just a phase and it will get better.
