Change in dog behaviour: When your dog reaches the age of two, you will see fewer behaviours that were common when he was younger.
He's less likely to get involved in things he shouldn't and less likely to be rambunctious. You will also notice that he is more attentive when training.
Have fun with your puppy at the age of two. Around five months, most puppies go through a difficult stage.
Depending on the breed, dogs may not grow out of their adolescent phase for another 2-3 years.
Many experts think the most challenging period is between 8 and 18 months. This is the only time they mature, and most adults don't do childish things like intentionally disobeying a command they already understand, like "sit."
It is not a fixed date when they suddenly "change." They change as they reach full maturity.
They had reached sexual maturity at six months, and we had them in our early teens, but neither of us was emotionally mature.
What To Expect As Your Dog Approaches Two Years of Age
Growth And Development
Your dog should be eating adult dog food by now. Please select a high-quality dog food that will supply appropriate nutrients while not overloading him with calories. The amount of food required by your dog is determined by its size, activity level, and breed.
Assess your puppy's diet kind and amount with your veterinarian or a dog nutritionist. As for activity level, remember that your puppy benefits from daily exercise.

This was a first. Laying on TOP of the box. (You can see where he was chewing/ripping the box on the left side. LOL.)
.....looking at children's behaviour as 'good or bad' or 'naughty or nice' means you are judging and labeling them (objectify and commodify)...but far far worse you are missing out on the opportunity to learn from the child what is actually happening to them and miss out on the teachable moment being presented...young children are unable to articulate with developed language what they feel let alone what they perceive as the truth...you as the adult have to take the time to ask questions and listen to what the child says, does or feels about the experience before you can guide, teach or educate them on what other choices of action could have been acted on for next time...when a child speaks they are telling you their truth and will fight very hard to be believed and you as the adult have to acknowledge their truth...the adults using shaming, embarrassing, humiliating, bulling or demoralizing actions at children never solves any problem but pushes the child deeper and deeper into trauma which one day will be acted out at the expense of the child and the wider community.

The bad feelings we get inside when we make mistakes is caused by the bodies instincts of 'fight' or 'running away' that has failed us. When our 'fight' or 'running away' instinct fails us when we are children we feel trapped just like wild animals do but most humans have forgotten to shake off the bad feelings that wild animals do.
-
Far too many children have stopped shaking off the bad feelings or worse are taught by their loving parents and care givers to not shake 'but settle down' given sedative drugs and are keeping those bad feelings inside themselves which will either come out later at someone else (domestic violence is one way it comes out later) or these bad feelings stay inside the person and this is called trauma. We must re-learn to shake off all bad feelings as quickly as possible and learn resilience. Not just bounce back resilience but 1x bounce back, 2x shake off, 3x learn by mistake and 4x step up resilience.

Your dog’s first year is absolutely crucial; it’s in this time that you will build the foundations for your pooches health, happiness and behaviour. Get it wrong and you can end up with an unbalanced and unhappy dog with issues that they never manage to overcome throughout their lives. It’s for this reason, you need to choose the right time in your own life to get a dog- a time that you can commit to them and give them everything they need. Get it right and you’ll have an obedient and content dog that fits perfectly in your family and around your lifestyle. Here are a few things to consider.
Health
A puppy’s health needs are very specific. When they grow such a lot in a short space of time, they need the right nutrition so do your research into the best puppy food 2019. Exercise is also important, the amount will depend on their size and breed. Not enough exercise can lead to a puppy that’s restless, bored and prone to gaining weight. Too much and you can do serious damage to their joints and cause them pain and health issues. Speak to your vet for tailored advice on just how much you should be doing. Puppies will need flea and worm treatments that are suitable for their age and weight, and depending on the breed they will need to get used to grooming too. Certain dog breeds will need grooming throughout their lives, or their fur can matt and injure their skin. Getting them used to this as a puppy is a smart move.
Socialisation
The big wide world can be a scary place for a puppy. It’s down to you to show them that they have nothing to fear. A fearful puppy will almost always turn into an aggressive adult dog, since aggression is a reaction to fear. When they’re young, puppies are adaptable and will quickly get used to new situations. Take them on buses and trains, walk them in busy places. Get them used to prams, bikes and traffic driving past them on the roads. Have them meet lots of new people and animals. Get them used to riding in the car, having baths and items around the home such as the vacuum cleaner. Fail to do this, and your puppy can develop phobias and behavioural issues that will be with them for life.
Training
To be able to live with us harmoniously, dogs need to be obedient and trained, and know what we expect of them. A well trained dog will be content and know what he’s allowed to do- and not to do. Dogs are intelligent creatures and are very receptive to being trained, especially when there’s some kind of reward in it for them. It could be a treat, a toy or attention! Training also strengthens the bond between you and your dog. If you dont want them to sleep on your bed, then train them from an early age to sleep in their own basket. Be firm and consistent so they know exactly what they’re meant to be doing and don’t get confused. If you don’t want them to bark at the door, then teach them that it’s not ok to do so. Use the ‘quiet’ or ‘stop’ command, and reward them when they listen.

The flehmen behaviour, inhaling air and curling of the upper lip, facilitates the transfer of pheromones and other scents into the vomeronasal organ located above the roof of the mouth via a duct which exits just behind the front teeth of the animal. This activates the vomeronasal organ and enables oestrus detection.
Here the bull is testing the air to determine if his selected cow is ready for him.
In the Rut, male bison (bulls) find a female who is close to Estrus and stay by her side (tend her) until she is ready to mate. The bull will protect her from other bulls if he can until she is ready to mate. He will bellow to discourage other males, and also try to hide her from other bulls by standing between the cow and another bull. After mating, he will then leave her to find another cow.

Couldn't have timed it better, pulled up the van just in time to watch this Barn Owl quartering this field, bagging a couple of shots into the bargain.
The culture of misogyny, sexism and predatory behaviour towards members of the public and female colleagues persists across many UK police forces today. A report was commissioned by the Home Secretary in response to the abduction, rape and murder of Sarah Everard. Enough. is a brand new play that focuses on the perspectives of female police officers and explores the various ways that misogyny manifests in the police force. How does this culture still exist in 2023? Enough is enough.

Public Lecture on "Changing Consumer Behaviour: Are We Becoming More Demanding?" by Professor Moira Clark, Director, Henley Centre for Customer Management on 25 February 2015
Governments around the world are drawing on behavioural insights to improve public policy outcomes: from automatic enrolment for pensions, to better tax compliance, to increasing the supply of organ donation.
But those very same policy makers are also subject to biases that can distort decision making. The Behavioural Insights Team has been studying those biases and what can be done to counter them, in collaboration with Jill Rutter and Julian McCrae of the Institute for Government.
The report was launched with remarks from Alex Chisholm, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy.
Dr Michael Hallsworth, Director of the Behavioural Insights Team in North America presented the key findings.
The findings, their relevance to policy making today, and what they mean for the way governments make decisions were discussed by:
Polly Mackenzie, Director of Policy for the Deputy Prime Minister, 2010–15 and now Director of Demos
Dr Tony Curzon Price, Economic Advisor to the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

Tally has a special way of walking up to Huxley to intice him to play with her. The photo on the bottom left captures it the best - hackles up just a touch, rear end wiggling, tail low and wagging and dainty little steps! Dog body language is so much fun to watch.
(They are wearing bandanas because it was a deer hunting day and we like them to wear something noticeable).
