Hello, my dog is 13 weeks and she has became very stubborn. She has always came the first time I called, sat, went in her kennel Ect. But lately she has not listened! We'll call her and she'll run away. She won't lay down anymore really, she won't go in her kennel, and while playing fetch she'll never return the ball right away like she use to, and won't drop it. Idk if for 3 months this is common. But she has been great but now she is being a pain! I need help! What should I do? We have been using treats. What's your guys' advice? Please help first dog I've trained!

Pin her down and bite her ear. She is testing your dominance. Kidding, get your basic dog obedience manual. 13 weeks is just figuring out boundaries.

I only bite my dogs when they bite first.

You may be pushing to much to soon. Keep it simple at that age and keep it fun for her.

If its a golden retriever then you're screwed!

She's just a puppy. Dont be correcting her with anything more than a tap and a No. Around 6 months when you start formal OB it will be cleared up real quick. Id be just socializing her right now.

It's normal for pups to go thru what you are experiencing. Again at around 20 months. ?
Just back off a week or two,. The dog will come back begging for the attention you took away.
