Two teenage labradors 🙄

So we have 2 labs (one choc boy 20 months and one black girl 18 months). Girl is spayed, boy is not done.

These are labs 3 & 4 for us (previously had black boy & girl - both now deceased) so we are not new to this BUT we must have totally forgotten about the teenager years 🤣

Both well trained - my boy does showing and my girl competitive obedience - both busy well loved dogs with long walks every day, frequent swimming, massive garden, i WFH, regular obedience training for both of them in the garden (now classes not really needed) boy does occasional ring craft classes still.

all of a sudden…both are nightmares! More my boy - he has started barking at everything even us (like he wants attention and to play), won’t settle in the evening like they haven’t been out, suddenly hates our lovely neighbour, my girl has started to paw at the rug and it’s ruined, going on and on about food all the time!! Generally being an annoying tag team🤣

Do dogs get more annoying in the summer and iv forgotten as I had old chilled dogs for years? Are these the teenage years? Have we upset them? Spoilt them?

I might have to put them in the bin if they don’t stop ‘shouty (barking) zoomies’ in the garden in a sec or we will have to move 🤣

ANY ADVICE WELCOME!

My first question when people ask about their teenage dogs is always "are they getting enough sleep?"

They sound very active but teenage dogs still need a lot of sleep. How much sleep are they getting a day? Do they relax properly in between all the activities you have them doing?

'Going on and on about food all the time' Grin They sound very clever!

Are they doing enough sniffy stuff to wear them out?
