Why do adolescent dogs act so differently from puppies and adults? Because their brains are different! In this course, we will cover how brain development impacts behavior, from puppyhood to adulthood, with a special focus on adolescence. You will gain a deep understanding of the changes in the brain leading to "odd" behaviors. Equipped with this knowledge, you can provide clients, pet parents, employees, and volunteers with vital skills to reach their goals while increasing your impact.
