When good pups go rogue. Your free teenage dog survival guide.
Around six months, something changes. The puppy who came when called now pretends not to hear you. The one who walked nicely on lead now pulls like a sled dog. You thought you'd cracked this training thing.
Then adolescence happened.
This isn't regression. It's not your failure. It's developmental neuroscience meeting hormones, and it's brutally normal.
This free guide explains what's actually happening in your teenager's brain, why they're not being deliberately difficult, and how to survive the 6-18 month phase without resorting to dominance-based methods out of sheer desperation.
It covers the eight things that blindside most owners: the teenage blues, the second fear period, selective hearing, lead pulling, jumping up (now with added strength), when walks stop working, destructive regression, and humping.
You survived puppyhood. You'll survive this too.
