Canine Adolescence Series - Sept 2025

Adolescence is one of the most challenging—and misunderstood—stages in a dog’s life. From the earliest influences of the breeder and prenatal environment, through socialisation windows and fear periods, to the rollercoaster of hormones, brain development, and independence-seeking behaviours, the foundations for reactivity are often laid long before problem behaviours appear.
Whether you’re a veterinarian, behaviour consultant, dog trainer, breeder, rescue worker, or dedicated dog guardian, you’ll gain insight into the biological, behavioural, and emotional changes of young dogs—and leave with evidence-based tools to support them through this turbulent stage into a more confident adult.

Canine Adolescence Series - Webinar 1 Roots of Reactivity
​Tues 16th Sept 2025 : 7:00pm NZST

Understanding the potential effects on puppies before they are even born, through genetics and stress, can be critical in recognising the pathways to reactivity. Once born, the environment, exposure and influences in their lives can a profound effect on how they view the human world in which they are expected to live.

This Roots of Reactivity webinar explores:

• Critical developmental stages from birth through their juvenile period from 0-5 months of age
• The breeder’s role vs the owner’s responsibility in shaping resilience
• Genetic predispositions and traits
• How pain and stress intersects with behaviour
• Why reactivity is so common in adolescent dogs—and what to do about it
• Practical strategies for juvenile socialisation, secure attachments, and management​

Canine Adolescence Series - Webinar 2 Ripe for Reactivity
Tues 23rd Sept 2025: 7:00pm NZST

The dawn of a dog's early adolescence period from 6 - 10months involves many changes - from their physical growth, sexual development, and brain chemistry, to shifting sociability, desires, perspectives and outlooks. During these months the recipe for reactivity may start binding together and the first signs can start to appear.

This Ripe for Reactivity webinar explores:

• The wave of hormonal changes, emotional dis-regulation, pain and stress
• Increasing insecurity
• Increasing competitiveness
• Prey interest development
• Dopamine seeking - the rise of impulsivity and frustration
• Reassessing your practical strategies for socialisation, suitable outlets and management
• ​Recognising the difference between behaviour suppression and true modification​

Canine Adolescence Series - Webinar 3 Releasing Reactivity
Tues 30th Sept 2025 : 7:00pm NZST

During the middle to late adolescent period from 11 - 14 months and 15 - 24/36 months respectively, the outpouring of emotional responses can become increasingly frequent and intense. We may see a shift from displays of aggression into more intent to harm and this can be overwhelming for all involved.

This Releasing Reactivity webinar explores:

• The ever changing social spectrum - Social maturity vs sexual maturity
• Increasing hyper vigilance
• The acceleration of relief seeking responses
• Priority shifting  - territorial disputes and resources
• Attachment shifts - exploration and independence seeking
• The essential practical skills, outlets and management to increase your relevance, improve their safety and adjust their outlook.​
