Now 8 months - grr

A month or two ago I was bragging that Lucy was so.. well behaved    

Now at 8 months she is  ducking & diving to stop me getting hold of her collar when she ignores my instructions   
She is laughing at me I'm sure; as she wags her tail and looks at me as if to say "wow this is fun"
Is she in the adolescent years? - if so I will definitely have to tell all my family to stop letting her get away with murder, their excuse being "well she is only a baby")

Me thinks it is time to put my foot down with all of them  

Ha ha ha........sorry shouldn't laugh but she is definitely pushing her luck! Stick with the training and yes make sure everyone else is also, it is just a phase and will pass but training is a must right now Xx

Yup, teenager time   

Certainly sounds like the terrible teenage phase, yes try to get everyone to be consistent with the training and everyone follows the same rules to save any confusion.

Mmmmmmm I'm going through the exact same thing with Zara.... She is also 8 months.... She's certainly keeping me on my toes
Little monkey ripped up our lovely lawn of astro turf today.... She's very mischievous at the mo and my poor cats are getting chased round the house like crazy.... Where's my chilled girl gone...
Wouldn't change it though

Definitely a teenager you have there sorry. Xx

Haha join the adolescent club Just today we were saying how well Bane's recall is coming along and then we went to try and get him on lead to take home and he decided to play "catch me if you can"   The little monsters enjoy it far too much

Ah the teenage phase   Just go back to basics and be patient as it will end in time

When does the terrible teenager stage usually start? Does it have something to do with getting into season? Just wondering

I believe it starts roughly at 8 month, but I'm sure someone will correctly if I'm wrong
