A Bit About Adolescence

Adolescence changes recall.
It is one of the most common reasons people consult a trainer for dogs between 6 and 18 months old.

- changing interactions with other dogs
- more sniffing and urine marking
- loss of recall
- more risk taking behaviours such as running up to things
