My GSD is now a 7 months old. She behaved beautifully up until about a month ago. At about 6 months, she started to pull on the leash, even though she had already been trained and was walking very well for months. The hardest part is seeing another dog. She goes ballistic! She wants to play and starts lunging, pulling, yelping etc. It is difficult to handle her because she is so big. Why did her behavior change so? And what can I do about it?
I'm new at this so no advice. She is very beautiful though. Have you done any obedience classes with her? And yes they do go through a "teen" phase but I'm unsure of the age and duration.
Yes they do. My male, intact, 13mo has really started pushing my buttons. Not forgetting commands, just choosing to do his own thing. If I keep him engaged we are golden, if I let him think, he always chooses the wrong thing!!!
Consistent, firm and fair "reminders" or corrections and just keep plugging along. They do grow out it. If you keep up your end.
