Ultimate Guide to Puppy Adolescence

$19.99 USD
$19.99 USD

What if you knew what to do when your puppy suddenly started acting like a rebellious teenager?

Selective hearing. More independence. Bigger reactions. More chewing. More barking. Trouble settling. And suddenly the puppy who used to listen has opinions about everything. 😳

You don’t need to start over. You just need a plan for adolescence. 🩵

Why this Works

Adolescence can make it feel like everything you taught your puppy disappeared overnight. It didn't.

Your puppy is changing developmentally, and the plan that worked when they were younger may need to change too.

This guide helps you adjust structure, freedom, exercise, enrichment, training and expectations so you're not constantly wondering . . . “What happened to my puppy?!”

Inside the System

✔ What changes during puppy adolescence
✔ Selective listening + training through distractions
✔ Freedom, boundaries + structure as your puppy gets more independent
✔ Proper exercise + enrichment for growing puppies
✔ Over-arousal, overstimulation + adolescent biting
✔ Calmness + settling without tethering
✔ Chewing, barking + impulse-control struggles
✔ Fear periods + confidence-building
✔ How to know when to increase freedom—and when to pull it back
✔ What to focus on as your puppy moves toward adulthood

27 pages of practical adolescent puppy guidance from Stacy Greer, Certified Professional Dog Trainer with 27+ years of experience.

This guide has been a LIFE SAVER—whether the dog’s life or ours, doesn’t matter! So helpful. We finally understand her behavior and have been able to reset her accidental athlete, adrenaline driven body. We had NO idea what was happening, because we were thinking as a working dog, we have to keep her busy every hour of the day. Once we started following the guide and gave her more time in her kennel to bring her adrenaline down, we began to see immediate results. She no longer has to be entertained every second of every day… which gave me a lot of time back, too! Now granted, it has only been a little over a week, and of course she still has moments, but I, too, am able to address her from a place of calm and not chaotic. Your updates, Tik Toks, emails, and guides are priceless. Keep them coming!

Dash is a a challenge but I just go to the guide and get the answers to my problems. He will be 5 months old August 9 and sits, stays, is house trained, takes long naps (even when he has no clue that he is tired) and loves everybody. Everyday he has a bout of zoomies, has to be told "leave it, drop it at least 30 times a day..but he does drop it and leave it. Now we are working on Place. How helpful your links are and I can watch you teach a puppy the thing I am working on. If I can raise a puppy at 85, anyone can with your program!
your help!

Oh Cindy, thank you so much! 🥹 Dash is absolutely adorable, and he sounds like he’s doing wonderfully. The fact that he’s already house trained, napping well, and learning so many skills before 5 months is a huge credit to you. And yes… “leave it” and “drop it” 30 times a day is very relatable to all puppy owners! 😂 I’m so glad the guide and training links have helped you feel supported. Keep doing the hard work you're doing ... you're doing great! 🫶🏼💜

How true is this guide. I can't remember adolescence being so Challenging with other dogs. You're encouragement has been exactly what I needed and the reminders to be patient with my dog and with myself is appreciated.

Hello Renea! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review! 🥹🩵 And first of all... your pup is darling ... look at that face! 😍🐶 I'm so glad the guide has been encouraging you. Adolescence can definitely feel like a roller coaster, and sometimes the biggest thing puppy owners need is the reminder that they're not failing, they're just raising a teenage dog. 🤪 Keep being patient with your pup and with yourself. You're both learning together, and I promise all that consistency will pay off. Thank you again for your kind words! 💜

Love Stacy’s easy to understand advice and expertise on all the stages of puppyhood. Life with our high-energy, high drive Lab puppy is easier because of her practical, bite-sized training tips.

Maureen, thank you so much for the kind review. Helping puppy owners navigate the chaos of raising high energy dogs is exactly why I created this guide. I'm so happy to hear it helped make life with your Lab easier! 🙂

It’s been a life saver! The days when I feel like I’m failing my puppy, I get the guide and get back on track.

Aww, thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate this lovely review. Puppy adolescence has a way of making really good puppy owners feel like they're failing when they're often dealing with completely normal developmental changes. 😅 I'm so glad it's helping you get back on track when those moments pop up ...And give that adorable pitty a hug from me!

I struggled finding information online about the adolescent stage of puppies. Then I found Sunshine Dog Training and my adolescent stage questions were anwered! I highly recommend purchasing her guides.The extra links/vidoes are also helpful and it's easy to read. I like the sample of how a day should look. Thank you!

Highly recommend everything by Stacy Greer! She’s honest, responsive, and knowledgeable!

Thank you so much, Mel! ☺️🩵 You’re making me blush over here, this is such a very kind review to leave! 💝 Seriously though, this is such a kind review and it means a lot to me. I really do try to give puppy owners information they can trust and to actually be there when they have questions, so hearing that come through in your experience makes my day. 👏🏼💛 Thank you for recommending me and my resources!

What would we be doing without this ultimate guide to puppy adolescence!! So practical and the video links are essential.

Thank you so much, Kelly! 🙂🤍 I’m so glad the Adolescence Guide has been such a useful resource for you. That stage can genuinely feel like somebody swapped your puppy out overnight. 🫣🫠 The goal was to make it practical enough that when those teenage behaviors start popping up, you have something you can actually turn to instead of wondering what on earth happened to your sweet puppy. 😅🐾 And I love hearing that the video links have been helpful too. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review! 🫶🏼💜

It helps me but not a lot. Thanks

Hi Ann, thank you for your honest feedback. 🩵 I’m glad to hear the guide helped at least a little, but I’m sorry it didn’t help as much as you’d hoped. If you’re still struggling, I’d genuinely love to learn more about what’s going on with your puppy. Feel free to reach out to me by email or through my website, and I’d be happy to point you in the right direction or help you troubleshoot. 😊🐶

Helped me create a structure for my dog that I adopted as an adolescent that really helped her settle and drop some of her less than ideal behaviors

I started to lapse and let the puppy on the bed for 2 hours - he stopped sleeping all through the night (from 8 weeks he slept for 7 hours) and wanted to go out after 3-4 hours and wanted up on the bed.

I went back to the guide and had to put both of us through the basics again - he slept through the night again on the second night!

Could not have done it without these guides!

Thank you so much for leaving a review! I'm glad you're enjoying the guide.🙂

I found it to be a little more beginner versus being for an older puppy as advertised

Hey Patricia, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
I’d actually love to understand this a little more, when you say it felt more beginner, what were you hoping to see or get help with for your puppy?

That kind of feedback really helps me make sure I’m hitting the mark for where people are at, especially with older puppies.

The Ultimate Guide to Puppy Adolescence has reassured us that the behaviours we are experiencing are normal. We were feeling lost and could not figure out what was happening, then it was all explained. This has been the best resource guide, ever. So many tips on how to work through the issues, with step by step instruction on how to implement learnings and be consistent with structure and routine.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review — it truly means a lot to hear. Adolescence can feel incredibly confusing and overwhelming, so I’m really glad the guide helped you understand what was happening and feel more confident moving forward.

Hearing that it gave you clarity, structure, and practical step-by-step support is exactly why I created it. You’re doing the hard work, and that consistency with routine and structure really does make all the difference during this stage.

I really appreciate you taking the time to share this. It helps so many other puppy owners who are feeling lost realize they’re not alone and that there’s a clear path forward. ✨
