Amen, Spotty!! Peggy is also the first dog I've had who wasn't spayed or neutered at an early age. I've received so much support here while riding her hormonal roller coaster. I don't know where I'd have gotten that help otherwise.
The other day she was particularly challenging. Like you said, it felt like she was supposed to be over that stuff. Why's it coming back?? She's even started jumping on me excitedly again in the morning.
Of course, if I slow down, take a breath, and really think about it, the behaviour is nowhere near as bad as it was 6 months ago. A gently murmured correction and she immediately stops—I'd have been thrilled with that not so long ago!
