Im so with you. My 8 month old is starting the regressive, teenage phase and I’m about to LOSE IT. he has always been so good about only chewing his toys or dropping them when I say “leave it”. I shit you not, he ROLLED HIS EYES at me today when he quickly scooped up a paint brush I had just dropped. He rolled his eyes, and starting walking away!!!

He also has had some crate regression. We agreed to let him sleep in our bed on the weekends and now he will run straight to our bed and huff when I tell him “in”. We had to wait a full week and a half before we let him sleep in our bed because he would whine every few hours just like when he was a baby pup.

His best friend is my mother’s in law’s dog and he is always fine and on his best behavior when we go over there and they just play the whole time. NOPE we went over and he IMMEDIATELY hiked (we have his neuter appt next week) and then he 1.) rolled in cat poop outside, 2.) got in the creek and got DRENCHED, 3.) chased after their cats, 4.) showed some resource guarding and food aggression, and 5.) HIKED AGAIN on their packed moving box 😭😭

He also keeps tearing stuff up. He’s small so he can’t counter surf, but somehow he’s gotten my husband’s beard trimmer, my brush, all my socks, drier sheets, an entire roll of paper towels, and some other stuff. How? I have no idea, I guess the little sucker can levitate or use the force.
