The developmental period of adolescence can be a very challenging time for both human and dog.

It begins at 6 months of age and continues until the dog reaches physical maturity at approximately 2 – 3 years of age (depending on breed). Six to twelve months are often the most challenging. Every dog is different.

Challenging phases will come and go. Some will be more challenging than others.

Testing at each level is a step I believe is often overlooked for many people.
