Adolescence – Understanding Your Dog's Teenage Phase

Adolescence is a complex and challenging stage in your dog's development — one that often requires a great deal of patience.

In this seminar, we'll explore the emotional and behavioral changes young dogs go through as they mature. You'll gain insights into how to support your dog during this sensitive time, build lasting trust, and navigate common struggles with confidence and empathy.

Mumi Schenk-ILL

With many years of experience managing international customer service teams and a solid education from a management school, I now build on strong leadership skills as the owner and managing director of Hundeschule fairtrain GmbH. Goal-oriented work — even under pressure — is a given for me.

 

Working with diverse human-dog teams is a welcome challenge. My analytical and solution-focused thinking, combined with great patience and passion for both dogs and their humans, forms the foundation of my behavior consultations, individual coaching sessions, and group trainings.

 

Dogs from animal shelters are especially close to my heart. That is why I regularly volunteer for a large Swiss animal welfare organization and support various shelters abroad once a year. My work as a trainer with shelter dogs requires extensive knowledge, empathy, and experience — qualities I have developed through years of practice.

 

Currently, I am undergoing training in canine gait analysis as well as advanced studies in behavior counseling.

With our own shelter dog, we are still working on basic training, reducing arousal outdoors, and addressing his challenges with men and children.
