I remember that phase. It's so hard - I shed many tears. Keep on going as Lynn says - my Arch was a complete nightmare and with consistency he turned into an absolute gentleman.

Have to agree, perseverence + patience is what's required but the end result will be well worth the struggle xxx

Oh dear, I'm dreading Molly reaching this stage! My OH is astounded how obedient Molly is at 13 weeks old, she does sit, down, stay, heel and a PERFECT recall everytime. Don't worry, I'm not crowing or gloating, I know when she hits the 'teenage stage' it's all going to go Pete Tong. You have my sympathies because I know I've got it all to look forward to. Keep trucking, stay calm and I'm sure everything will be fine.

I know I am a bit cruel but it always makes me giggle when new owners go "thank goodness the puppy stage is over!!"

I just have to snigger and think to myself just wait for the teenage phase to kick in you will be wishing they were a puppy again. They always just smile back at me while I go off laughing.

Welcome to the dogs world

I promise you will laugh at this in 18 months, when you have your beautiful at your side. Just keep doing all the training, and you'll/she'll get there.
My girl is turning in to a lovely girl. She made me cry so many times, trying it on with me. Now she's my princess( 90%), but thats not bad, we have a life time to get it spot on. I know I'm not perfect, so why do I expect Jazmin to be. Good luck, they're worth it.
