The teenage phase is real

Somewhere between six months and two years, many dogs seem to forget everything they once knew. Selective hearing, pulling on the lead, over excitement and testing the boundaries are all completely normal. The good news is that with kind, consistent training this phase passes, and your dog comes out the other side calmer and more confident.
