Your New Puppy: Dog Training and Dog Behavior Lessons to Help You Turn Your New Puppy into a Well-Behaved Dog

YNP Replay: Behavior Changes as Your Puppy Gets Older


Listen Later

If you are experiencing some behavior changes from regression to old behaviors to brand new ones popping up, this episode is for you.

Welcome to this special replay episode.  I’m wanted to bring back this important episodes for anyone with a puppy who’s entering adolescence.

If you’re feeling like your once sweet, well-behaved puppy is suddenly turning into a bit of a troublemaker—you’re not alone.

This is a super common struggle that many puppy owners face, and I’m here to help you navigate through it.

In this replay, we’re diving deep into behavior changes that happen as your puppy grows, specifically during adolescence (around 5 to 18 months). You might have thought the hardest part was the early puppyhood days, but trust me—adolescence can be even more challenging.

The behaviors that start cropping up during this phase—like jumping, counter surfing, barking in the crate, and more—can be frustrating, especially when you feel like you’ve just gotten things under control.

But don’t worry, it’s completely normal, and I’m here to reassure you that you haven’t done anything wrong.

In this episode I talk about:
  • What behavior changes to expect as your puppy grows.
  • Why these behavior changes are happening and what’s behind them.
  • How to stay patient as your dog goes through this phase of development. 
  • How to manage your puppy’s new energy levels.
  • Why consistency is key!
  • Enjoying this podcast?  Please rate and review it wherever you listen.  This helps other puppy parents find it.
