In her brand new book How to Love and Survive Your Teenage Dog, Delta Institute qualified dog trainer Barbara Hodel shows how you can successfully cope through this challenging life stage, improve your relationship with your teen dog, keep your sanity and even have some fun!
Contrary to puppy training, there is little information on teenage dog behaviour and training, says Barbara, who is also president of the Pet Professional Guild of Australia (PPGA).
It is normal to sometimes feel despondent or disappointed because we thought we did everything right when they were puppies and now nothing seems to be working.
The challenges of the teenage phase are real and can put out relationship with our dog at risk. But it does not have to be like this!
