What helps during the teenage months
- Revisiting basics in new places, so sit and down hold up around distractions.
- Building a recall in steps, from the kitchen to a fenced space to a long line.
- Practicing impulse control at doors, gates and food bowls.
- Matching exercise and mental work to your puppy's energy, in manageable chunks.
- Staying consistent as a household, since teenage dogs test every loophole.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Why did my puppy stop listening?
Adolescence brings hormones, distractions and testing. Go back to easier setups, reward the behavior you want and keep expectations realistic for a few months.
Is spaying or neutering part of training?
That is a medical decision for you and your veterinarian. Trainers can share what they have seen, but timing should come from your vet.
How long should walks be?
It depends on age, breed and health. Ask your veterinarian for guidance, and pair shorter walks with sniffing time and simple games.
Should I do another package at this stage?
Many owners find a second round helpful because the dog is bigger, stronger and more distractible. Ask a trainer what they recommend for your puppy.
