Juvenile Delinquent Dogs
I haven't finished reading this book yet but it has already helped me understand my five-month-old Sheltie. She was so obedient and responsive until she hit five months and then Miss Independent showed up. I wondered what I was doing wrong in training. This book showed me it wasn't the training but her changing growth spurts and this was one "symptom". It told me how to handle it and we are back to training but with a little more patience on my side. Thanks for letting me know I wasn't insane.
