I have a collie x retriever, she’s she’ll be 1 in a week. She’s always been hard but manageable, I’ve put my heart and soul into training her daily, have consulted professional trainers too and basically put my life on hold for her this last year. Things were in a good place, then suddenly BAM. She reached 11 months and I feel like I have a 4 month old puppy again. She’s relentless, I’ve had to bring the crate back as she won’t settle on her own anymore, her recall is terrible (previously it had gotten really good, she would come to me, not rush over to other dogs). She just seems to always be ‘on’ and even during enforced naps, she doesn’t sleep much and wakes at every little thing. Someone tell me this passes? I feel like I have a different dog, I miss my sweet obedient girl.
