The doghouse

teenage dog syndrome yet?

Our puppy is now around six months. In the past few weeks she's taken to weeing indoors again, and is almost as bouncy and nippy as she was as a much younger puppy. Plus she's taken to barking in the night.

Is this teenagedom dog-style?

She's had a house move, so we were expecting some kind of upset, but it can't all be down to that surely?

We've put a radio on in 'her' room at night time which has seemed to help a bit. Can't just leave her to bark though as we have someone who lives in a flat as part of our house.

We're being generally consistent about giving no attention when she's over-excited and nippy, just like we did when she was a puppy, and presumably this will start working again at some point!

No idea what to do about the weeing indoors, though?

She's due to be spayed soon; I don't know if that will affect any of the above at all?

Her recall is very touch and go at the moment, but we're trying to wear her out with extendable lead walks when we can't risk letting her run around off lead.

Any advice/words of wisdom? Thank you :)
