Is your puppy pushing boundaries? … 
Surviving the teenage phase
From around 6-8 months, your puppy will start that awkward journey between puppy and adulthood. They’re rapidly reaching their adult height and they will soon have adult teeth, but they’ll still want their puppy toys to chew on.
Cha-cha-changes Your puppy has come a long way since the newborn phase. There are lots of changes going on as they grow in height and weight into a fully-grown pooch.
Pups grow very quickly during this phase and you may notice changes every day. Cherish this precious time as they won’t be a puppy forever.
Teenage Kicks… they’re still in the ‘teenage’ phase, so it’s normal if they’re still pushing boundaries with their mischievous behaviour. As annoying as it can be sometimes, keep reinforcing positive training and show patience during this period as your puppy is naturally testing your limits.
On the other paw, you may notice shyness and a lack of confidence in your puppy as you introduce them to new environments such as traffic, strangers and new places.
If you spot this behaviour, keep them well-exercised, enriched and encouraged during all behaviours – never forget to reward them when they’ve been good.
