AAAACK! Is this the teenage years??

It does sound like the teenage stages.

Obeying the NILIF (nothing in life is free) rules may help as well as a refresher obedience class. And of course patience & persisitance.

She's trying to challenge you again. Make sure she knows that she must obey you as you are top dog here.

I wouldn't let her outside unless she's on a lead until she learns to stay close by again & also learns her recall better again.

I'm sorry I have no personal experince as of yet (well I do but it's been so long & their teenage stages weren't bad thankfully lol I don't remember much). But I'm sure Kaige will be in the same footsteps in a few months. Gosh how time flies.

Definitely the teenage stages!! Pups normally go through them around a year or so. Proper training and consistancy is needed now more than ever! I know it will be frustrating but if you feel the need to scream, do it into a pillow!
