My boys become a teen, he is 6 months, recall is for wimps, and he is genrally cheeky and boistrouis!!!
He has started to pant a bit more than usual. can anyone tell me is this normal???

This is perfectly normal if my girl is anything to go by! When she hit six months she became really resistent to training, and particularly commands she used to do without question. She is now 7 months and I am sorry to say she isn't any better. We stll take her to classes and that is doing the world of good, but both the breeder I got my girl from and the trainers at the classes i attend said that this is common and is typically a 'teenage' phase when they enter adolesence and constantly test your authority!

only another 12-18months to go before it settles- oh joy!!

My dog is still like that now sometimes 18 months old!!

is the panting normal though??

Can't say i noticed any difference in panting, in the summer he was panting quite a lot but in general i would say nothing out of the ordinary.

afraid you just have to work through the teenage stage it can be very frustrating but stick at it .

Sometime you have to be a little firmer.

As for the panting age would have nothing to do with that ......but if you are concerned a check up wouldnt be a bad idea also ....have you go the central heating on !

Panting can also be stress related.
