Good questions
Before you begin.
Why does my dog ignore me now?
Adolescent brains are busy. Go back a step and make cues easier.
How long does this phase last?
It varies by dog, and often runs several months.
Is it too late to train?
No. Young dogs learn well and benefit from clear structure.
Should I add more exercise?
Appropriate exercise helps. Ask your veterinarian about suitable amounts.
