Some recent reading
Sometime last year, the librarian at my local club passed the torch to me and another member. The library is a great resource for members to check out the dog classics without buying personal copies. I finally got around to reading some myself and will be adding Control Unleashed to the list of recommended books on the Puppy Resources page.

Trying times and adolescence
Dogs go through their teenage phase between six months and 18-months of age. They experience another fear imprinting stage during this time that can look like crazy, wild phobias and reactivity that appear ‘out of the blue’. Don’t overreact and assume your poor dog is a spooky fiend forever! I suggest revisiting threshold work and keeping their experiences around this new, sudden phobia positive and brief.
