Title: Teenage Stage
Post by: LunaBear on October 23, 2014, 07:11:02 PM

I think Luna is starting to push boundaries and go through teenage stage.

I've had to put her on a long line while out on walks but she's constantly pulling trying to run off

What's the best thing to do?

I'm not the one to advise on lead pulling as both mine seem to turn into sled pulling Huskies if on lead for more than a couple of minutes :005:

But consistency and going back to basics, plus an endless supply of patience, wine and chocolate are generally helpful through the teenage stage :D

She is a devil from hell this morning >:D I usually get cuddles in a morning but not today, she's decided to go absolutely bonkers, constantly whining, up and down off the sofa, in and out of the garden (on a long line now after jumping over wall at end of garden) and ignoring all attempts to give her food from her bowl and kong toys :fear2:

I know she's a bit young, but could she be coming into season?
