Whether or not you think there is a place for suppression in dog training, we need to be logical in our explanations and thinking.

Adolescent a$$hole?! The truth is, some dogs aren't so great during adolescence. Your compliant puppy is not so compliant anymore! This will give you some ideas for navigating this period of time.
