Unlocking Puppy Growth Secrets: When Does Your Furry Friend Really Stop Growing?
When Are Puppies Teenagers?
Puppy adolescence begins around 6 months of age when the puppy is becoming sexually mature and ends around adulthood. You may notice that they’re ready to explore more confidently and independently and willing to push the boundaries like a rebellious teenager. Training a puppy can be difficult during this period and they may be more reactive to new dogs and situations which is why continued socialization is important during this time.
When Do Puppies Calm Down?
This can be a hard question to answer as every puppy is different. In general, puppies have probably calmed down significantly by 12 months of age. However, there are some breeds, like the German shorthaired pointer, that are known to keep their playful puppy exuberance well into adulthood. Other dogs will remain active and need plenty of exercise and mental stimulation throughout their whole life, in essence, never really “calming down.”
