Feeling terrible!

[Allgoingtopot]

Please help me wise ones!
My 11 month old minature Labradoodle has suddenly become such hard work! He used to have good recall and was pretty obedient with basic cues - sit, down, leave it etc.
He has become a complete rebel! He chases and jumps on other dogs, wont let me catch him if he is off lead and causing mahem and jumps up at people. As a result I have to keep him on the lead at all times and the lovely loose lead walking has vanished too!
This is so frustrating and upsetting! I don't know what I have done wrong.
I am going to contact a dog trainer after the bank holiday, but can anyone give me any advice in the meantime? This is my first dog since I was a child. He is crate trained and gets lots of exercise.

My two year old Dobermann also went backwards, back to basic lead training now!
Other than going back to basics, not sure what else you can do....

Totally normal - he's entered his doggy teens - you have to go back to basics for a few months. I mean totally back to basics, imagine you've just got him and you are starting from scratch. His hormones are ruling his head but you can get through this.

Invest in a long line (NOT a long lead) for training. You let it trail behind the dog and you can stamp on it or grab it if he ignores you. Use a harness with it, not attached to his collar.

Put in the time and effort at this point and you will have a lovely well trained dog in 6 months time. My youngest is now two and is finally a delight to take on walks, he was much harder work than my now three yr old girl - but even with her I had to go through the teenage, hair tossing, eye-rolling, stage where I was not as interesting as that other dog across the park!

This is so frustrating and upsetting! I don't know what I have done wrong

You haven't. It's call doggy teenage stroppy arse phase which strikes at different ages depending on breed/dog.

Bye bye recall, bye bye listening and understanding all those commands you taught them as a puppy .

Keep reinforcing everything you have done. Buy in lots of or to get you through it. This phase will pass but it's testing and you do need to grit your teeth and go back to basics until they grow up.

Absolutely what pps have said.

Teenaged dog can, and usually are, a nightmare.

My dog was just about the easiest puppy imaginable but when she hit adolescence she refuse to recall. She would come running back to me when called but would run off before I was able to get hold of her.

I had her on a long training lead for months.

If everything was fine before with his training it's highly unlikely you need to involve a dog trainer, just keep doing what you were doing before and keep reinforcing his training; the long line is your friend.

And no, you haven't done anything wrong.

Thank you for all your kind words. This week I have been shouted at by 2 men - the first time because the dog got away from me and jumped on his little dog (I apologised immediately and luckily managed to get hold of my dog instantly) and the second time by a bloke who was furious because I wouldn't let him off the lead to play! I really have lost all confidence in my own judgement.

Both my lakeland terriers regressed really badly at around 11 months, but it only lasted 4 weeks or so and they were back to normal very quickly.

They basically turn into rebellious teenage vandals for a few weeks. And it was nowhere near as bad as the phase they had at around 16 weeks, which was akin to the terrible twos in humans imo.
