My Teenager!!!!!!

Does anyone know if dogs go through 'teen' years. Millie is one next month but she has started chewing my shoes, won't get out of bed and sulking when she doesn't get her own way!! it reminds me of my girls when they were teenagers (They didn't chew shoes, by the way). But did everything else. It's just that we know dogs don't reach adulthood till they are 2 or 3 years old (Sometimes older or never). boy is my Mill showing symptoms!!!

Hi Anne,

I haven't got my dog yet (and it looks like it's going to be longer...) but I do know that yes, they go through a teenage stage.

Good luck!

Thanks Lottie, I knew I was right. OH keeps saying 'what is wrong with her' but we know best. We have been through it!!!

what fun the terrible teens .. due for tham soon myself . tysosn can be such a wee booger dont know if id notice the difference though ....lol good luck there

yep sounds like my 15 yr old sis,, (apart from the sho chewing ) so i would deff say its the terrible teens

im sure millie will grow out of the stroppyness soon

Could it be her comming into season?

Other than that they do go through stages that can be both annoying, heartbraking but also fun and proud moments.
One of the many joys of having a dog while its growing up
