My puppy is giving me such a hard time. He never was an easy dog, as he is a high energy working breed but we’ve been in training and I managed to get his needs met. For the last two months he was so well behaved and we had great connection.
Since about a week or two he started behaving as a teenager: little bit more mischievous, less sleep and not listening to simple commands. All this I was expecting but yesterday he levelled up big time. Full on reactivity on walks. Pulling like crazy, getting frustrated at the leash and starts biting it. Peed on the kitchen rug. I brush and bathe him every week, today he decided he is not having it. He growled at me when brushing his bum. Then he growled at me when putting on the pawbalm which he usually likes. He doesn’t seem to be in any pain (eats, walks, plays just fine).
I feel like we lost our connection and I don’t know how to get it back.
