my dog is going through the terrible teens!!
I used to have a sweet, cuddly, calm, ”good never naughty” puppy! I really thought something was wrong with Sisu. It seemed as if overnight she turned into a defiant, non listening, active, never resting dog! Then I read an article. Sisu is going through her “young and restless” stage. The article mentioned that she is playing catchup with her brain and body. A typical 9 month old dog’s body is growing rapidly, it’s brain, including the ability to retain information, is playing catchup. I remember going to our agility classes and being so proud of how she mastered commands. Today she looks at me with a blank stare! I guess I’ll have to go back to the basic obedience for a little while, play more and exercise more. The good news is that canine adolescence lasts just months, not years.
