Here’s something nobody tells you: the hardest phase of dog ownership often isn’t puppyhood.
It’s adolescence.
The behaviors that spike during this stage — reactivity, ignoring cues, emotional overwhelm — aren’t signs of a bad dog or bad training. They’re signs of a brain going through a massive developmental shift.
This Saturday, certified trainer Audrey Culp of Constellation Dog Academy and Dr. Killian Lenahen of Love City Vet are breaking it all down in a workshop at PAWS Wellness Clinic.
📍 2900 Grays Ferry Ave, Philadelphia

🗓️ June 21st at 10am

🎟️ Humans-only workshop
Come learn what’s actually going on — and how to support your dog through it. 🐺

Is your sweet puppy suddenly barking at strangers, ignoring cues, stealing socks, losing their mind on walks, and acting like they’ve never heard the word “sit” before?

Welcome to adolescence. 🐺

Adolescence can feel like a complete personality change — this workshop helps you understand what’s actually happening in your dog’s brain and how to navigate it without losing your mind. We’ll cover:
• the adolescent brain and second fear period
• why “bad behavior” often spikes during this stage
• frustration tolerance + impulse control
• enrichment that actually helps
• realistic training expectations for teenage dogs
• how to support your dog without sacrificing their spark

Because your dog isn’t trying to give you a hard time — they’re HAVING a hard time.

If your once-easy puppy suddenly feels chaotic, emotional, distracted, or extra spicy… this workshop is for you.

15 years, thousands of dogs, and a lot of dog hair later... I’m still just as obsessed. 🐾

If we haven’t met yet, hi! I’m Audrey. I started Constellation Dog Academy because I believe training should be about joy, not just obedience.

I’ve spent the last decade and a half specializing in the “big feelings”—the dogs who bark at everything, the ones who panic when you leave, and the ones who just need a little extra confidence.

What I want for you: A relationship built on trust, clear communication, and zero force. (And maybe a few funny faces along the way.)

I’m so glad you’re here. Drop a comment and let me know: how did your dog get their name? 🦴

Good training means working WITH the dog in front of you instead of expecting every dog to learn and behave the same way. The goal isn’t to make every dog identical. The goal is to help each individual dog succeed. ✨

Big news for our Constellation and Uptown Dogs fam! 🐾 We’ve officially teamed up to bring expert training directly to your pup’s daycare stay.

Imagine picking up your dog and finding out they didn’t just play: they leveled up their manners, too! Our new Day Training program means no extra trips or stressful drop-offs for you. While your pup is at Uptown Dogs, one of our certified trainers works 1-on-1 with them on the skills that matter most.

We’re offering three-week intensive programs tailored to your dog’s needs:
✅ Skills Series: The essentials for a polite city dog.
✅ Skill Sprints: Targeted work on specific goals.
✅ Big Feelings: Helping sensitive pups navigate the world with confidence (to make those city walks a lot calmer!)

Every journey starts with a Kickoff Consult so we can build the perfect plan for your team. Ready to make daycare even more productive?

Your dog’s got bounce — we love that for them! 🐾💥 Instead of leaping at your face, agility training helps them put all that energy toward something fun and focused. (Bonus: you get to cheer them on instead of dodging a high five to the kidneys!) Hit the link in our bio to sign up for our “Agility for Funsies” class to start channeling those leaps!
