When Good Dogs Go Rogue: Navigating Canine Adolescence

When Good Dogs Go Rogue: Navigating Canine Adolescence

Britteny joins the episode to share what it’s really like living with a large Rottweiler puppy deep in the throes of adolescence. From big emotions in an even bigger body to impulse control struggles and testing boundaries, we talk honestly about the challenges that can make this stage feel overwhelming for dog owners.

Canine adolescence is often one of the most frustrating phases of raising a dog—but it’s also temporary. When you understand what your dog’s brain and nervous system are going through during this developmental stage, it becomes easier to replace frustration with patience. This episode explores how awareness, realistic expectations, and supportive strategies can help you guide your dog through adolescence without damaging the relationship you’ve worked so hard to build.
