A recent study revealed that 5-8 months old dogs have similar behaviour as human beings as y believe to have hit ir puberty. According to an International media report, a team of researchers based in ttingham, Newcastle and Edinburgh revealed that dogs who hit ir puberty take longer to respond to commands and are tougher to train. research was concluded after reportedly monitoring 69 five-months-old dogs. 

As per research dogs, however, acted fussy only in front of ir owners as to when it came to strangers y behaved much better. While speaking to an international media outlet, zoologist Dr Naomi Harvey, who worked on research, said that animals behave that way as it is ir ‘dog version of taking out in your mum’. She reportedly ded that what team found is evidence that dogs do show a period of ‘reduced obedience’ towards ir owners. She said that is specific to ir owners and t or people.

She said that dog owners need to realise that just like humans, dogs also go through ir ‘puberty phase’ and it will pass. 

Moreover, Asher also suggested that people should remain consistent and use rewards rar than punishing ir dog she reportedly ded that it is important to remember it is t dog deliberately behaving bly as it just ir biology.
