Murphy is just coming up to 2 years old and in the last 10 days or so has really calmed down . Around the house he now relaxes by my feet instead of pacing around looking for mischief, he now ignores other dogs, especially small ones, in short his whole demeanour is "relaxed" Is this a "normal" part of maturing or can I expect some regression? Steve.
I do remember an almost light-switch change in behaviour with Lilly, around 2 or 2.5 I think they can still have silly turns, but keep up with all your positive reinforcement of good behaviour or he may regress LOL
I noticed a change for the slightly calmer in my dog at about two and a half. He's now three and 3 months and acted like a complete lunatic puppy on his walk in the countryside while we are all on holiday. Somehow it's fun to see that he's still got it in him to go bounding off across a field as long as the field does not contain sheep or cows!
