He will be 9 mos old in a couple of weeks. Are these the teenage months that they talked about in training? Or has he forgot everything he was taught? Thanks Lisa and Frankie |

Oh, welcome to teenage hell. This too shall pass. Just pour yourself a drink and be calmly insistent that he DOES TOO know his own name

It's called the stage where you swear their brains fell out of their head! First thoughts are of how much time (not to mention $$$$) you have wasted training. The answer is patience (not easy for most OES owners). Believe it or not, the brains did NOT fall out of their head. I tend to think of it as the cord came unplugged from the socket for awhile. In a short while (after several of those drinks Kristine mentioned, spread out over several days or weeks) it's like the plug finds it's way back into the socket & this bright light bulb comes on in their head & once again you think you have your dog back. The next thing to be ready for is their (you notice I said "their" & not "the trained") performance in the obedience or agility rings. Like I have said a million time, the next time I decide to get something to be competitive with, it's not going to have brains.....maybe a corvette for a car show or a doll for a doll show. Much easier on the nerves. |
My condolences As Kristine said "This too shall pass" |
Tiggy went there too! Actually she's probably still there a bit.
That's why Ron got us this emoticon |
