A puppy or dog that is truly sound mentally, can still have some "weirdness"
due to hormones, even ensuing pano, or just adolescent silliness.  Males in
particular seem prone to this between 7 and 16 mos or so.  They just kind of
"lose it" for awhile sometimes.  Young horses the same, along the ages of 18
mos to about 2.5 years , sometimes they act like they have lost their minds,
lol, and that any and all training prior to, is lost in space. lol

I believe strongly that a truly sound animal, will come back to being sound,
regardless of it's treatment by careless owners, or regardless of raging
hormones.   A dog that is a "pretender"
was not sound, and never will be, no matter what type of training band-aids
are applied, and no matter how many excuses (which we hear often) of "Oh he
was mistreated by children, or or he /she was attacked by another dog as a
puppy, or whatever reasoning the owner wants to use to excuse what is,
faulty temperament.  Again we have seen instances where dogs we have had
sent to us, truly did have some horrible thing happen to them in the past,
esp in the cases of rescues.   The TRULY SOUND DOGS will come back to mental
stability.   If they do not, then they were never mentally right to begin
with, and won't be.  Not truly.
