DO DOGS…?
Suffer the pangs of adolescence and puberty?
Yes!
They may not start listening to bands that sound like something dying in the deep sea, but their attention span does suffer. They can sense a dog in heat within two miles, and even if they’re neutered, they still pay attention. Aggression may also increase. A dog’s adolescence spans from the age of 5 months to 2 years. Owners would do well to remain persistent with training and exercise, not to mention patient. Vets recommend devising more complicated games for them, games that test, challenge, and reward their sense of smell and obedience rather than the simple fetch or sit.
Dogs often emerge with their good habits better and their bad habits worse. Sound familiar?
