Help with teen stage

I have a 7 month old standard poodle, I have worked with dogs for a long time and I completely understand the teen phase she is very much entering. These are the major issues we are having, chasing the cats or just charging at them randomly, fixating on or pulling on the end of the leash when she sees something she wants, and counter surfing. She does not give a single fuck about treats, toys, anything enticing during these moments. Verbal cues mean little to nothing in these scenarios, even when she does good in these moments if I try to reward her she simply does not care. It’s almost as if she doesn’t understand consequences but I don’t know how to show that to her. She gets plenty of mental and physical stimulation, plenty of naps, she has been well socialized and has good genetics it’s just this phase of her life and any bit of advice to make it smoother sailing is so appreciated.
