“Working with Your Budding Adolescent: 16 to 24 Weeks
When you and your puppy reach the budding adolescent stage, you may feel like hiding in the closet. Some days are livable. However, other days you feel like moving. Your puppy doesn't listen or respond to known directions. He bolts, chases, and nips at everything that moves. He demands your attention and barks or mounts you when he doesn't get his way. He insists on being the center of attention every moment of every day.
Keep in mind that this stage is normal. I managed to live through it, and you will too.”

“Allowing your puppy to drag you over to greet another dog is foolish and unsafe. Leashes modify a dog’s natural posture, making them look confrontational even when they’re anything but; also if your puppy were to break free from the leash, they would impulsively take off, putting themselves and others in danger!”

“When it’s said in a calming voice, you may use soft touches to separate your puppy if you feel they’re playing too rough.”
