When did your dog hit the "Terrible 2's"?

[cashisking]

Just wondering if there is a general age they they hit the stubborn streak, and how long did it last? Oh and maybe some stories...Trying to prepare myself I guess:rolleyes:

Terrible Twos? Ha ha ha ha

Cuatro was born in the "terrible twos". We love him dearly, but man! is that Boxer high-maintenence. We will let you know with Scout. As for now, she is very easy...:p

Cuatro and Duke sound like they have a lot in common. How old is Cuatro now?

Cuatro will be 2 in January. He never seems to run out of energy. Recently, I began running with him. We run for an hour and he's still ready for more. Getting Scout has been a big help. They play forever...

My Toby came with the terrible two's at nine weeks old!!
He is now 1 (Nov. 5 was his birthday). He has soooo much energy that he makes me tired just watching him. He is very mischievous too. He gets into everything! But ya gotta love em.
Good Luck!birthdayic

Cayenne hit the terrible two's around 9months. She still has a stubborn streak but she is is a lot better than at 9 months.

Brogan just recently hit the terrible 2's at 8 months. I dont' know what happened, but one day I woke up and she was leaping at me , jumping up and biting me when I walked, talking back when I told her to sit etc.. It's so hard not to laugh when she talks back though :p I can't wait till it ends.. at least i hope it ends!

Ohhh my. Mac is DEFINITELY in his terrible twos!!!! Started about 2 weeks ago (10 months) - it seems like he grew into a sassy little man overnight!!!! He's definitely more confident at the dog park, less respectful of Princess and he's ALWAYS into something. He is a jumping MANIAC at the dogpark - no longer seems to be able to sit nice when he meets people. Still working hard on that one!!!!

He still loves to snuggle and be close with his mom, but he's gotten much pushier about it, and sometimes gets irritated with me! well...probably can't blame him....he has the BIGGEST jowals (sp?), so I pull them back to bear his teeth and say "rarrrrrr - vicious killer"...I think its hilarious - he used to sit nicely and let me do it, but now he doesn't think its nearly as fun anymore.

He's testing on commands - ie: pauses a few extra seconds before he sits and/or tries to walk away!!!
:rolleyes:

Princess went through this as well...the good thing is they DEFINITELY grow out of it!


here is an old - similar thread with others nutty terrible twos experiences....
