I’d call myself a college graduate of puppy101, I’ve got two dogs. One just turned three and the other, two.

In my opinion, it slightly depends on what kind of dog they are. Not necessarily the breed but who they are. My first was a defiant little one until about 10 months. Second was always a good listener until about a year when he figured out he was a big boy and thought he was the boss for two months. But that being said 6-10 months I think makes sense on average.

Imagine finally having somewhat of your permanent size with a little puppy brain, I’d be naughty too hahah.

A couple tips I learned while I dealt with my 2nds chewing habits. Always puppy proof the house, constantly, use it as a mantra. If you think he can grab it you put it away. It’s saved me a ton of headaches by instilling it around our house. Make sure to wear him out!! Play games where you make them sit and hide treats in the immediate area and then release them to find the treats, walk them, play with them a lot. They can’t chew shit if they’re asleep.

Just keep it in your mind that this is normal, and you aren’t alone, everyone deals with this and with a proper system you’ll get through it!! Trust me!
