Guides for the dog you actually have, not the one in the training video.

Short, specific PDFs you print and put on the fridge. Every health claim is checked against published veterinary sources, and the citation is printed right next to it. No filler chapters, no miracle fixes, and no medication doses, because those belong to your vet.

The Teenage Dog Handbook

Why your 6-to-18-month dog stopped listening, and the 30-day plan to get them back.

Your dog didn't forget their training, and you didn't ruin them. They hit adolescence, a documented stage with a known cause and an end date. This handbook explains what changed and gives you a 30-day plan that takes about ten minutes a day.

9 chapters, each ending in a worksheet you print and fill in
A 30-day plan, week by week
A fridge-ready emergency page for the 2 a.m. "is this serious?" moment

Why a stage, not a failure

The research is on your side

8 months

In a 2020 Newcastle University study, dogs at eight months obeyed their own caregiver less, but not a stranger. Obedience recovered by twelve months.

42%

In a 2025 study of more than 1,200 young dogs, 42% of owners reported a problem behavior at twelve months. You are far from the only one having this week.

Sources: Asher et al., Biology Letters (2020); Animals (2025). Both are cited in full inside the guide.

How these guides are made

Sourced, specific, and honest about their limits

Checked against real sources

AAHA, AVMA, the Merck Veterinary Manual, Cornell, VCA and the AKC. The citation sits next to the claim, so you can check it yourself.

No doses, ever

No drug, supplement or dewormer amounts appear anywhere. Your vet sets those with your dog on the scale.

Health sections flag some of the times to call the vet

Specific signs to watch for. No guide can cover every situation, so if something seems wrong, call your vet. Your vet always has the final word.
