For humans, body development takes a long time. However, dogs appear to mature almost instantly in our sight.

Your puppy may be an adorable little puppy one morning, but by the next, it may be beginning to behave more like an adolescent, replete with mood swings and behavioral changes. If we want to be responsible dog owners, we need to understand the significance of sexual maturity in this process.

Everyone is aware of what occurs to humans during puberty. Dogs are exempt from facial hair and acne, but they do go through major hormonal shifts that can affect their behavior.

For male and female puppies, there are distinct differences. So you'll be a better dog owner if you know when sexual maturity occurs in puppies and what that implies for your canine.

You can decide more wisely about the wellbeing of your dog with this information at your disposal. And being aware of the scientific principles underlying sexual maturity in pups will help you comprehend your puppy's altering and occasionally perplexing behavior. 

The OP in today's story has a well-behaved and trained dog who is going through puberty and exhibiting different behaviors. When he sees another dog, he will lunge and bark and try to go play, and when people come over, he jumps up at them.

The OP has tried so many things to stop it until her husband got a shock collar. 

And now, the OP's husband wants her to try out the shock collar first

Dog training collars, e-collars, and electric collars are other names for shock collars. These training tools first warn your canine with a beep or vibration before shocking him remotely if he continues the undesirable behavior.

The purpose of the warning is to get your dog to stop acting out before a shock is required by teaching him to associate the beep with the shock. Here are what redditors had to chirp into the reddit story.

Although many dog owners find the notion of shocking their dogs repulsive, these collars can be an effective tool for behavior modification when worn properly. But as a Redditor said in the comments, you'll need a dog trainer to show you how to use it properly, so you don't end up hurting your furry companion.

Still, there are other methods you can use to correct a dog's behavior than shocking them.
