So... my pup is just 6 months and after thinking we had finally cracked the naughty land shark behaviour, a month on and he has suddenly turned awful!! He is constantly doing everything he is not meant too and looks at us whilst in the act as if to get a reaction... he is just generally naughty all the time... has he now become a teenager? Also, is this phase worse than the last?
Hi there. Same here. Our girl is 7 months and for the last month she has been so hard work. Barking alot. Running off when off lead. Barking and growling at kids. Pulling like crazy on the lead. Some days I wish I hadn't got a puppy xx
At 6 months you should be enrolled in BASIC obedience classes and vigorously exercising daily. Usually when a dog is acting up its because they are bored and need some stimulating training and exercise. This stage will pass and you will be glad you didn't give up!!
