When we plan the future of this wonderful new life we can begin to think in terms of how we want them to be as adults. This can make our training plans quite narrow and centric to our expectations.
Instead if we view them as learners that can be flexible then there is no limit to what they can learn for all of their future.

As much as we would love to be able to let our youngsters enjoy plenty of freedom to explore, learn, run free; the realities of the desires of your adolescent dog means that:

"Explore" morphs quickly into reverse engineering your sofa, laptop, waste bins; or run the neighbourhood until darkness and hunger drives them home
"Learn" is discovering of the joyous sensations of digging, chewing, chasing
"Run free" becomes a license to irritate all local wildlife, other dogs, other people or cats

We can design an adolescence with plenty of selected opportunities to learn without compromising their development or blossoming personalities. This period is very much about learning the future skills of being an adult in your world.
