About this ebook
What Happened? Your cute, fluffy puppy has turned into a wild-eyed monster, running off at every opportunity, deaf to your commands, pulling on the leash and chewing up your house.
Adolescence may be a challenging time for both owners and dogs, but it certainly doesn't have to be a disaster. Despite all the changes that are occurring, with a few sensible steps and a big helping of patience, you will find that it is a temporary stage. Author Sarah Whitehead gives you the tools to turn your rowdy companion into a well mannered friend.
