How old do dogs have 2 be puppies?

There's no set age for when a dog stops being a puppy! 🐶 It's more about their behavior and development than a specific number of years.

Here's a breakdown:

* Physically: Most dogs reach adulthood (physically mature) around 1-2 years old, depending on breed size.

* Mentally: Some dogs might take longer to mature mentally. This can vary greatly depending on breed, individual personality, and even how they've been raised.

* Socially: Puppyhood is usually considered the time of learning, playing, and developing social skills. This period can last up to 2-3 years for many breeds.

So, think of it this way:

* Puppy: High energy, playful, learning basic obedience and socialization skills.

* Young adult: More settled energy, still playful, but capable of learning more complex commands and tasks.

* Adult: Mature energy levels, may be less interested in constant play, but still needs regular exercise and mental stimulation.

It's important to remember that every dog is an individual. Some dogs might act "puppy-like" well into their later years! 🐾
