[pyrnet] Re: Young Pyr's Behaviour
Hi,
My male Pyr is almost 7 months old. He can be very active and always seems to be testing us. He keeps trying to get away with things that he shouldn't. Also, if I correct him for doing something, he'll do three or more bad things right after as retaliation. A friend said that he must be thinking, "If I got heck for something, I might as well make it worth it!"
Am I dealing with a normal/adolescent puppy? Will he get better as he matures? I love him dearly and am amazed at his intelligence - I just wish he wouldn't use it only to his advantage. We've gone to obedience school. He certainly didn't do every command instantly, but would after a few seconds - of course we always got into trouble for this because he was supposed to be a good dog and react instantly.
So, I'm just looking for some reassurance that he will be a lovely and gentle boy for a greater percentage of time than he is now. Has anyone gone through this?
