our staffy turns 4 months old on Wednesday, but last week all of a sudden he's started being more of a menace than usual, complete demon mode, not settling for naps, barking at us all the time, sleeping for 1.5-2.5 hours rather than the previous 3, biting and attacking our feet and arms again after seemingly getting better, biting all and everything in sight which is new (before he was easily occupied with chews and toys)… surely he can't be starting adolescence early? it doesn't feel like it's just the lack of sleep getting to him. if he's like this already, I don't know how we will cope with the teenage phase… It's really hard to love him at the moment. I'm always the one telling my partner we can train it out, all we need to do is xyz, but I feel at a loss atm
