Just like humans, dogs go through a teenage, or adolescent, stage. Depending on the breed, it can begin from six to 12 months in age, and last until your dog is from 18 to 24 months old. It’s marked by hormonal changes and brain development that can make your dog seem less obedient and not as well-behaved.
Some dog parents find that their dog can be more reactive during the teenage period, too, with not even the best dog toys being a worthy distraction. But this doesn’t have to be the case.
