It's been over a decade since I raised a puppy so I'm trying to recalibrate what to expect and what to do.
My question is: during the difficult 'adolescent' months (from what I read, usually starting 7-9 months), what did your puppy do, how did you handle it, and how long did the 'difficult' period last? Also, for good measure, what breed was your pup?
Thanks. I'm doing what I can to handle the challenging jumping, tugging, and barking that has recently surfaced (she's 8 months) so it'd be good to hear what others experienced and when they felt their dog transitioned into a more measured and manageable pup.
