If your puppy is experiencing some behavior changes now that they've reach adolescents, then this episode is for you. If you're feeling like your once (relatively) well-behaved puppy is suddenly turning into a bit of a troublemaker—you're not alone. And no worries, I'm here to help you navigate through it.In this replay episode, we’re diving deep into behavior changes that happen as your puppy gets older, specifically during adolescence (around 5 to 18 months). You might have thought the hardest part was the early puppyhood. The truth is adolescence can be even more challenging.Your puppy can start to regress with behaviors you thought you had under control and may also come up with some new ones! And, of course, it happens the moment you thought you had it all under control. Don’t worry, it’s completely normal. There's nothing wrong with your puppy and you haven’t done anything wrong. Sometimes just knowing that is enough it get you through it!<br /> <br /> Need extra support? In addition to replaying this episode, I've also relaunched my popular <a data-css="tve-u-19520413b46" href="http://www.playtimepaws.com/workshop" target="_blank" class="" style="outline: none;">Not-So-New Puppy Behavior</a> Workshop.
