The teenage stage is so much harder because you think you were 'there' after all this time training their puppy, and now it's like your dog is just flipping you off... Hormones, and a much stronger dog, plus a tired owner who thought the puppy phase was the toughest makes that this is the stage where people give up. Thank you so much for this video.
100 percent
I had the same experience with my teenage kids lol. We were "there", until we weren't 🤣
I love his show and thisjust summarizes and lays out all of the basic methods he uses on the show. What i love about this guide ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxKkYeOoCV_w2vPX0CSyVWkhew2c4FYk0d is that you don' need to read the whole book cover to cover ... You can skip to the chapter (lesson) you want to read about. The book is arranged almost as a problem-solving guide ... Here is the problem and here is what you need to know/do to correct it. This man knows his stuff ... But more importantly knows how to teach people how they can work with their pups themselves!
This is exactly were we are at with our doberman. He is a great dog and even he is a pain in the back at this point and it's exactly as described it seems all his training is gone. The biggest challenge yet is other people out there who constantly try to interfere or judge when we are training. Or try to pet him and encourage things we don't want like jumping. Even it says in the dog in big red letters " in training do not touch do not distract"
Is there a better channel for informative, tried and true info for all things people/dog related? I'll answer, NO! Thanks Will.
Agreed! Although, I have to say I really love:
“Beckman’s Dog Training”
Absolutely agreed 💯💯💯

@@vikingdogmanship Hey you!!☺️
Thank you for this video! I was starting to feel like I was going crazy with all the up and down days during this phase! Between you and another trainer I listen to, I just need to keep at it! Thank you for explaining this and renewing my determination to stay patient with my dog! And that it's going to be ok lol
Thank you for this video!! I needed that pep talk today as I have a very strong willed but very well behaved 1 year and 2 months old Rhodesian Ridgeback and he’s definitely going through that phase lately! It’s really hard to stay calm at times when he’s pretending to not understand or hear me… I’m a feisty French Canadian and when he’s defiant, it’s hard to remain patient! Lol!! I just have to keep up the daily training and remember that this phase will pass!! So thx again for the pep talk/reminder!! 🙏❤️😉
This is the video i was waiting for!
Thanks for paying attention for things like that that nobody talks about ♥️
Great advice.... We follow you closely, with our 2 American Akitas now aged 7 months. I've learnt more from you than the hundreds we paid at 'puppy classes' 😳
Most dogs I've met that have done "puppy classes" aren't any better than they were before, honestly.
@@wetworms. yeah it’s a scam unless the trainer is actually helpful
@@jin_cotl and that's why its better to work 1-1 with a good trainer and work on socialisation separately?
That's what I'm planning on doing. Got a rescue in the summer - abandoned pup wr found on our holidays. Spent a few weeks with us on holiday and we brought her back to the UK at the end of August (Greece to France flight in cabin then 6 hour drive from Paris to London). She was we think about 10 or 11 weeks when we found her so couldn't work on the puppy stage on a Greek island! Obviiously we did the best we could, but couldnt take her out of our villa much to the island dealing with a low level parvo outbreak. We worked on socialisation etc when we got her home (she goes with a dog walker 3 ish times a week with the same group of dogs, the other times she's come to my uni campus and my mum's taken her for long walks in nearby Richmond Park when I'm in lectures.
We've been trying to organise a trainer, which we organises about a month after we brought her home, but there were some commitment clashes and things (his wife had a medical emergency and was an hour or 2 away from dying so that really impacted our sessions, plus the holiday season) so we're officially starting proper training next week. My trainer's a Canine behaviourist and is helping me train her to be an assistance dog
Brilliant, as always! Every dog owner should have to see this. Many use "they're still young" as an excuse.
Yup. Very much yes. I have a hunting lab/show Golden mix, as a service dog in training and he's 14 months now. Just started puberty. He's extremely high drive (which I wanted, not only for his service dog career but also because I do lots of dog sport with him.) He has three major issues with his hormones, but overall his obedience is stellar, he's incredibly calm on the job and an absolute havock during free time. He leaves almost every GSD or Hova in our club in his shadow when it comes to drive, speed and perfomance. In his freetime he's very hectic on walks atm, very socially and sexually motivated, constantly in a rush, BUT obviously trying to be focused and obedient and follows every command. His self-control is amazing and I know when to use management to make his life easier.
Bravo as always. Keep em coming. From a guy with two Cane Corsi and a German Shepard. The Shepard she's a rescue.
I needed this 😂, my 13 month old pup needed it too 😭. I’d love more teenage pup videos
Thank you Will, I am so in that stage with my year old Border Collie.
I stay focused and calm whilst training. Every day is different with Doobie, your videos have helped so much.
Brilliant video Will and you must work with them and not against them to bring them through the teenage phase and if do this correctly they come out of that phase fine, Happy Christmas and New year Will.
So glad I just watched this video, I thought my 10 month old Danes behaviour was completely erratic and changed all of a sudden , some days it's all over the spectrum but after watching this it's clear what is required.
Cheers mate
Just love the your equipment for your dogs. Ive made up a few jumps and things which works but not as grand as yours Will... I enjoy your videos..
Hiya Will, I've just discovered your channel watching shorts and your amazing pal, I really enjoy watching.
Wonderful advice! And your tip to take it "one day at a time" is a great one especially when they are driving us nuts. I have always preferred protective breeds and learned a long time ago that the ones who push/annoy the most as teenagers always become my favorite dogs as adults. ::)

Good to hear this encouraging post. I have two male intact 11 month old mastiffs
Mom half bullmastiff half English mastiff and the dad pure English mastiff
They went bonkers the last couple weeks especially the one who seems to be showing more dominance
Hormones out of control and doing things they never did. The one is trying to mount my daughters my son my wife and all our other dogs (we live on an acreage)
I got them to have more of a guardian breed for the property and family
The one is even showing what looks like aggression as the video said
When they are chill they are amazing and lovely liek they have been for the last ten months so I’m hoping they grow out of this band we can train them properly
I’m not looking for perfect as they don’t get a lot of outside exposure due to our location. But solid basic manners and control is mandatory
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ENCOURAGEMENT
I can honestly say that this program is the best thing that has ever happened to me and my furry friend.
Thank you - I needed this video today
I'm so glad I found this channel. I have a one year old GSD and he drives me nuts some days. Other days he does fine. This channel has definitely opened my eyes on how I'm messing up. He is my first dog on my own so it's been a huge learning experience for both of us
On behalf of dogs around the globe, thank you will for teaching humans to understand us😉
In the US, we have our pet dogs spayed and neutered. That helps quite a lot.
Gold. Thank you for this! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Solid advice! I’d like to add that the brain development can also cause dog to forget previously taught commands. No need to be angry just start from beginning
Perfect video for where I am currently, 11m collie.
great video! beautiful camera work and editing. Can't believe I wasn't subscribed before! Subscribing NOW!
Awesome advice. And as a GSP owner I loved the thumbnail. 💞
This video has come just at the right time for my Labradoodle pup Daisy. She is twenty months and going through the teenage stage, she is so cheeky. She was doing really well with recall and retrieving and suddenly she won't come back to me. She pinched a ball off another dog and it took me twenty minutes to get it back. The owner of the other dog was not amused. Anyway she is back on the long lead and ongoing training. Thanks for the tips. 😊
I have a 15 mnth old corgi. Solid teenage behavior. I literally just saved a brand new pair of shoes from her mouth even though we were just playing fetch with her toys made for chewing
jan margaret, i feel your pain! I have a 6mo old female australian labradoodle, very smart dog but shes gotten an attitude lately. So high energy especially meeting new dogs and people, not agressive just hyper. i hope i havent lost her
@@curtishinkle7885 stay with it. You will get there 🙋♀️.
And special note to people with aggressive breeds, you can't leave them off-leash to attack other dogs. Long line, under control @all times! So many clueless owners distracted by their dang phones.
Hello @willathertoncaninetraining and thank you so much for your videos. I have a black lab (I'm actually not sure if she's from a work or show line) that will be one year next week and since you work a lot with labs, it is easy to relate on some issues that you show on yourr videos. I haven't followed any course so far, because even through some difficulties, she is a brillant and very gentle dog that loves to learn, work and play.
My main issue at this point is that she absolutely loves to hunt, she's constantly smelling floor, in town, in forests, and so on. Obviously I don't let that habit to prevent a loose leash, but when I try to leave her off leash, she can easily be carried away from a smell and travel 200 - 300 meters without any worry. That resonates with the fact that they become "braver" but actually she was fearless since I got her at 2 months.
I think, from my perspective, that my main issue is that I lack of leadership towards her, she is very independant, but maybe a little too much and I would need to step up to be that leader for her.
But maybe, I should train her tracking skills to channel this habbit on some situations ? I would love to read about your opinions or if you would have any advice to give me.
Again thank you for your time and keep up the great work ♥
Before you do _anything_ else, work on her recall. It takes a lot of time, and hard work, but it’s THE most important thing for her to learn. A dog with instant recall, lives to see another day.
great video, thank you.
This as really helped me understand what's happening with our young spaniel, at what age do the teenage years stop.
Would love to see a video of how to work with a guard dog (spesifically Doberman) through their teenage phase :) loved this video, christ, I love all your videos, so keep it up! :)
Same, I’ve got a young Rottweiler.
As a former owner and breeder of Doberman's ..lots and lots of running off-leash. Plus alot of training and being set up for success. They especially need to know they've done a good job at tasks.
A tired Dobe is a happy one.
😊❤🇨🇦🎄
Same, teenage Dutch herder here. Has become reactive to dogs he doesn’t know
Yup, guarding dog in teenage fase right here haha. Very glad you are saying the exact same things as my trainer is. It's frustrating at times, but having the greatest help and trying my best every day to make sure we come out great.
Can you tell how to use guarding dog skills on your own advantage like Will mentioned about the labs and retrieving? Thanks in advance

Wow thank you for this video ❤

I never acknowledged the teenage phase with dogs. Thinking back it's definitely real and needs to be managed
Perfectly describes the stage my daughter’s dog is going through. A sweet and social dog with good manners and on lead obedience turned into an aggressive dog attacker. 16 months old a switch flipped and I think it’s a stage she can work through, she thinks it’s permanent. I’ll have her watch this and hopefully she’ll get back on track
But 16 months would be late for the teenage phase, right? 🤔 Unless it's some huge breed. At least I think so. But am not a professional
Apologies - googled it - adolescence phase can go until two years!
Depends on the dog, mine are juvenile until 3 to 4 so currently working through it
Working German Shepard in this phase now. I need my family to watch this and understand how dogs are. Great video thanks
@ ༒☬༒ ᴀᴛʜᴇɴᴀ ༒☬༒ I feel your struggle. My gs is the same. We have 4 old dogs. All above 10yrs I’m spoiled with years of good obedience. I had forgotten how much work it takes. I had a springer spaniel before. Serious work drive. This gs is unreal. I’ve enjoyed the months I’ve put into her and it’s paying off. But yes. She thinks she’s the boss and something tells me it will always be a struggle to some extent. Where we live now we need a security dog. She is brilliant for this and so i ll live with the high energy
My dog is 6 months and she is straying further on our field walks, but only when she sees her dog friends. So far her recall is still on track
I can relate to this, I have a beautiful Rottador, managed to get rid of resource guarding but it's come back. He's now growling at night on odd occasions. In the mornings. He will growl and as soon as he's done it, he will lay down with a sorry face. Breaks my heart seeing him battle these hormones. You can tell when he's really struggling, you can smell his privates. Since brought in another rottador as they are a beautiful rounded breed. Guardian, high working drive and loving. The key is to correct but also make up so as not to destroy the relationship or drive the behaviour.
From my point of view of a dad of 10, i can tell you that this chronicle represent everything a parent should learn about their human kids... :)
and i train dogs as well.. ;) *(actually training a 5 months old husky to be a therapy dog)
thank you
Any tips for German wire haired pointers. Absolutely love your channel
My daughter bought a rough collie (Lassie) for helping on a farm. Switched professions and now there's nothing for him to do. I do training, walks, he likes to be chased etc. But he doesn't retrieve, doesn't even like balls, or toys, and puzzles take about 30 seconds. I feel bad for him. I got him a friend but that dog can't even keep up.
Really good videos I love ur stuff. I don't even own a dog
We adopted our Heeler mix at 7 months and now hes 12 months, so right in the middle of this teenage phase it seems. He's a quick learner, but he just has tons of energy to let out. Unfortunately, with the Midwest blizzard, he hasn't had much outdoor time and now we have to re-crate train him. We love him, but we know there's light at the end of this teenage tunnel if we keep up with him
use that crate on and off every day man...never put it away again....keep it as a fun command and safe place (never know when illness injury life happens. he will love it and be just fine.
@@ABCdogtraining802 We never put the crate away, but we did rearrange the furniture and put the crate in a different spot. He's much better with it now. Just took some readjusting
@@finalcountdown3210 Awesome, good for you!
Hey will!
Can you do a follow up video that touches this topic in much broader context? You said about the labs and their ability to retrieve.
Can you explain other types of dogs and how we could use their skills on our advantage?
Or maybe there's something already on the web so you could send a link? Or anybody here reading this comment :).
I have White Switzerland Shepherd 7months old.
Yes! I was hoping for examples on guard dog breeds lol I commented the same thing!
Good call. I have an English Setter, who is used for bird hunting, but not so big on retrieving
This explains so much. I've been trying to train my 8 month old Weimaraner female, but she won't leave my side. Doesn't matter what we do, walks on a leash, letting her off leash in a field by my house, etc. She won't leave me so I can't train a dog that won't get 2 steps from me. So, maybe I need her to go through this so she'll be more independent and run off from me.
Please talk about a dog like mine who is a hunter, pointer and retriever - a viszla. What instinct do I harness first. Thank you.
Can you make a video about the best dogs for hunting? Trying to find a dog and get as many opinions as I can.
Thank you sent this link 2 my friend 😉
great videos can you do a couple on BMDs
could you please do a video specifically on teenage guard breeds 🙏 We have 2 Presa Canario teenage pups and in desperate need to see how to handle them!
You gave a perfect example on how to use the retrievers' natural drive with a tennis ball. Any specific tips in regard to using a guard dog's natural instinct (I have a Cane Corso teenager who has done brilliantly up till now and all of sudden he is starting to not be interested in anything when certain people or dog's approach because well, of course, he is guarding). I did your perfect puppy course and I do lots of work with him and continuing to touch up on all areas. Just always eager to learn more if u have any other ways of how to let him tap into that natural guard instinct in more healthy way I guess..
Good for you Jen!! tough age......dont forget the rules are the rules are the rules....be fair and punish/correct when needed. Its common what your going through, but teach him you are the captain, there is no need for him to do that. Good work!
@kingdomk9trainingacademyab171 thank you for the encouragement.. some days feel tough and I feel I'm failing. But it's nice to hear it's not just me dealing with this. Overall we have achieved alot and he really is a good boy. Like you said, just need to stay on it and continue to set those boundaries!! Appreciate the encouragement and advice 🙏
@@jenedmonds3047 Your welcome.....training a real working dog is filled with peaks and valleys! enjoy the process and journey, Keep trucking away and be FUN!
Hi will, I adopted a dog a few months ago and your videos have helped alot to retrain him as he was 9 months old and was from an abusive home. The only issue I have now is that he tends to always be afraid to get leashed or be let out of the kennel or see me when I first get home. He always ends up peeing. Do you have any tips to help him stop this?
Will, stumbled on your channel love it! and your accent1 ve got a aussie labradoodle, 6 mo. from reputable breeder. I thought i was doing ok but now shes a tenager i think, as her working dog genes are kicking in. Shes always played fetch great, has fun a nd growls. Shes just so hyper meeting new people and new dogs, kangaroo hopping, just syco. she will settle some and end up playing hard with dog but shes just off chart with excitement. potty broke day we got her at 9 weeks, sits, downs, stays, shakes hands places fair. will getting her spade help? and what an i do to help her? She doesnt like car rides either at this point.thanks
Any tips for a reactive dog? My three year old Shep/husky mix sometimes just attacks other dogs after a few seconds of introduction. Sometimes she attacks them and sometimes she is best friends right away. I have no idea
Hi Will, do you have any videos on introducing dogs to children. We have a 1yr old staffy and our grandchildren (11 & 8) have moved near us so we can see them every week now instead of couple of times a year. Our puppy gets so excited and vocal that our 8yr old has become frightened of him please can you help with a video or advice please?
Any chance you were in Elsinore, Denmark a few days ago?! Saw someone that looked just like you. Boots and all.
Sorry to be off topic but what are your boots? I'm a gardener in Oregon and they look like they would work well for that.
Do you have any advice on how to get my 1 yo German shepherd to engage with me more when she wants to herd our sheep. We don’t have a problem with her rounding them up (it’s actually quite helpful) but she often doesn’t recall to us when she gets in with them off lead
Any tips on stopping a dog begging for food?
I have a 2 year old cocker spaniel and he is crazed around food. We have never fed him off our plates/when we are eating and he is constantly begging for food. He gets sent to bed whenever we eat and is normally a very obedient dog, but as soon as the food comes out he starts misbehaving (sneaking out of bed and us having to put him back multiple times).
we moved on to shutting him in another room and he just wines at the closed door (again he never makes any noises or barks EXCEPT when there’s food) but that doesn’t stop the problem when out and about (eg walking past someone outside who has a packet of crisps)
I'm walking a local dog in his teenage phase once a week. He's a staffie, springer cross. He's great around other dogs off lead as long as they don't approach. Even if he was on the lead once they've approached, if they don't leave him alone he does become reactive. Is there a way I can get him to chill out, even if dogs push boundaries? I have seen this in other dogs before, where they're super patient with other dogs and would like to get him to the same place.
Can you do a video about how to train a dog if you have no idea what kind of breed it is
How long does it last? I keep hearing different thing. Some say one and a half years, some a couple months. The overview for my breed said month 7-10 was challenge mode. But I have no idea what is accurate.
Also wondering if it’s possible mine went into it at 5,5 months. He started lifting his legs then, and is at times challenging, but think that’s just him not having learned something properly yet.
He’s 6,5 months now. Still nothing as bad as when he was 3-4 months.
You mentioned in this video getting a Retriever obsessed with retrieving. What would you get a guarding dog obsessed with?
Prey drive. Can use a flirt pole to engage and then control that drive.
What are your thoughts on the min pin/miniature Doberman or Doberman breed? I didn't see any shorts where you mentioned them at all
Hi Will, I’m Lori and I have 5 month old Loki, cane corso. I’m new to cane corso but very experienced with Old English Mastiff. Omg completely and totally different. Loki is having an issue when I put on a sweater or if someone other than me gets too close to a bone. Growling and head thrust. So far what I’ve done is to immediately place Loki on his side until muscles are soft, then I grab some treats and put on sweater. Hasn’t worked with bone. Help??
What’s the plan?
very interesting, thats exactly where my gsd is going through
I have a 17 month old Giant Schnauzer. He does great inside the house. (recall, crate when told to, waits for permission to cross inside and out etc.) The problem is when he goes out. He stops listening completely. Even in the backyard he jumps on the fence so hard he has broken it. There are other dogs on the other side. He is back to pulling when walking even on a prong. He has even gotten away from my kids when they walk him and just play bows instead of listening to come back. Tips?
this helps
I wish you would just start out by explaining what the teenage phase is and when that typically starts in a dog is it four months is it six months? Is it 12 months?
Does a rescue dog who came out of the rescue center at about one to one-and-a-half years old have a delayed teenage phase?
I have a 2 1/2 year old English greyhound who is generally very sweet, obedient and docile. Lately he has begun to challenge me with his size and also on the street will go after small dogs with a vengeance when previously he didn't have any issues. He's a big boy and his jumping, excessive zoomies and destructive behavior with his bedding and toys has gotten me very stressed. I usually try to calm him down with food/ treats but sometimes that is not enough. I know as a greyhound he will get through this, but how do I stop him from being a large adversary when he's feeling so brave and powerful in this stage?
What is the frenchies drive? Mine seems very territorial and guarding. I thought they were companion dogs. He is 2 yrs old.
I would be interested to know what you think of bloodhound?
I've been taking my 11 months golden retriever to the park to play Frisbee. She loves the frisbee and generally loves bringing it back. Until she finds another distraction...something else on the ground that she picks up or someone else who walks through the park
And the main problem is, if she finds something else more interesting and picks it up, she isn't going to listen nor come to me, anything else is more interesting than me...cause she knows I'm the owner....any tips on my dog challenging me like this? I assume I should take my dog to a place with zero distractions..but anything can happen in any setting and I want to know how to work with this
Ok, with labradors or any hunting breed it's sipmle, just give them something to chase, but what should I do with breeds that were breeded to herd livestock like German shepherd or Tatra shepherd?
Hi, can u tell me how to teach my 5 month old Frenchie to walk to heel as per your videos for a structured walk, where she checks in with me to lead her, without a slip lead? Frenchies are recommended to use harnesses because of the spinal issues they have. And I know this is true because we recently lost a beloved Frenchie to ivdd (a disk ruptured in her back).
I understand the slip lead helps u communicate better with the dog over a harness, but I just don't feel happy using it on my Frenchie. Need advice please🤗
I have a deaf, half blind Auggie (Corgi/ Mini Aussie mix) entering his teenage phase…my eardrums are ruined forever, lol.
I get that…our mini aussie high pitched too!
Our nearly 11 month old Goldador is more interested in finding things to eat on the ground than retrieving :( We never had a problem with our Labrador, she is ball obsessed. Just can't get the Goldador to be interested, tried lots of different toys to throw.
Hi - I will be needing a 'diabetes' dog for a young teenager with autistic/ADHD like behaviour tendencies (undiagnosed). The dog will need to be able to detect low blood sugar and alert. It would be a plus if the dog can protect the teen as well. Can you give us advice?
How to get better with Recall specially during teenage phase because my Boxer puppy literally thinks he’s playing with me by just running away from me.
Help! thanks!
Haha great I just thought I was awesome with my 5 month old Swiss shepherd.
My dog has stared to be reacted to dogs i don’t know what to do to change it .. he’s 10 months Training I keep going and going cant bloody stop !
Got a presa canario pup and almost there
I got a rottweiler who is 5 years of age that I got from my mom after she passed and I have kids moving into my home do you have any help if I can't train him I don't like what's going to happen to him
How long does the teenage phase last? Because my dog is almost 4ys old, but he still behaves as a teenager... We try to train him, but it's sooo hard and sometimes we don't know what else to do...
Do you have any tips for a scared xolo no agressive behavior yet.
Llving ur videos I wud love to see how u discipline puppys
I have a 5 month old Jack Russell with maybe just a hint of lurcher in her. I hope this guy will do a video on the small terrier type breeds. My dog has not been easy to train, I trained my previous dog a jack/staffie cross, but this one is good and then wild, she's OK with socialising, but anything else is just hit and miss, I know this breed can be difficult and I see progression, but honestly it's exasperating sometimes, it feels like 3 steps forward 2 steps backwards no matter how consistent I am. I'd better mention my husband let's her get away with everything maybe it's him I need to train. So frustrating, any tips would be appreciated.
Everyone in the home must be on the same page when it comes to training. I have a Patterdale terrier who's just gone one year old so believe me, I understand the struggle! Also a very headstrong breed who's not the easiest to train but the first thing we agreed on when we got her was that we absolutely HAD to all be consistent in the training or we would end up with a nightmare. Similar issues arise when families let the kids do the walking but then don't understand why the dog still pulls on the leash even as an adult - because the kids aren't enforcing the training so the dog cannot possibly learn when there are different rules with different household members.
@@emsxbabe1982 it's hard training a puppy and a full grown man at the same time. I think it's because we lost our other dog last year and he's forgotten the issues she came with when we first got her so he's trying to make up for our loss, this pup is very similar to her as well. I've told him he's got to appreciate that she was 12 years old and a puppy needs to learn to be well behaved for her own sake. I will get there somehow, some people get dogs, some of us get terriers which sometimes seem like a totally different species😳
What is your view on using E-Collars?
What about the teenage phase with Alaskan malamutes? Should I get him a saddle bag to carry heavy things?
Lol
Start your own long distance running training……your gonna need it
Fear periods? Thought you would certainly cover those or is that what you mean by hormones?
