When Does A Puppy Grow Out Of That “puppy Phase”?!?

I got a puppy and she is 8 1/2 weeks old. Please answer this question: If she is constantly and properly trained, when will she grow out the phase that I can only explain as “the puppy phase”. I love her and am being nice but adamant about rules. Don’t worry, Im being nice I’m 14 and we’ve had 2 other dogs but this is MY first dog so I have to care for it. I would love for her to stay a puppy forever but I can’t put up with this craziness for too long! lol
So again: She is a 8 1/2 week old Cockapoo, (half poodle, half cocker spaniel) puppy. (named Ginger – the movie star!) If you’ve seen Gilligan’s Island you’ll know that reference
When will she grow out of that “puppy phase”?

Why Would My Dog Suddenly Try To Attack Another Dog When He Has Never Done That Before?

We were at Petco with our dogs (6.5 mth olds Pepper-cockapoo, and Bandit-lab/pit mix) walking around enjoying ourselves when we go to turn down an isle and there is a man with a full blooded brindle pit bull and a smaller baby pit bull in a buggy. The man’s pit bull sees and and tries to head down the isle towards us. He wasn’t growling or barking or anything. He was just pulling his master trying to get down the isle.
Bandit (lab/pit mix) suddenly puts the hair up on his back and starts growling and showing his teeth. He was very agressive and he isn’t like that. We have been to Petco before with him. He takes training there every Tuesday. There is even an agressive Rotweiller in our class and he isn’t even that way with him. He has been around other dogs outside of Petco. We have an older pit bull down the road, 2 austrailian shepherds, and a border collie, and he has never been agressive with any of them.
He has been food agressive at home, but only with Pepper, never us. But then he and Pepper will share the same water bowl at the same time and he doesn’t have any problem with that.
We immediately pulled him away from the situation and scolded him. I have never seen him act that way to another dog. So does anyone have any ideas what could have been going through his little (well, not so little since he does weigh 45 lbs) mind when that happened? I would appreciate any help or suggestions.

Crate Training A Puppy That Cries And Doesn’t Freely Go Into His Crate?

we have a 3.5 month old cockapoo which we got cratetrained from a breeder. however, when we put him in there in the daytime (and we go to work) he cries for about an hour (that we know of). we have a walker come in twice a day, but he really just gets so upset, that it’s upsetting to us. He doesn’t love treats, so it’s hard to lure him in there w/food, and he doesn’t freely go into his crate, so what should we do? I hate to think of him crying all the time when we’re not there.
thnx

2 Year Old Cockapoo Forgetting That He Is House Trained…?

My dog is over two years old. He has been house trained for awhile, but for a few months he has been pooping on the floor is my husband and I leave at the same time. It is deliberate, I have taken him around the block and then gone to the grocery store for twenty minutes, come back and he had pooped. There had been ample time to do it on the walk before.
We take him for a walk every day, cuddle and play with him, he is alone from about 8:00am to 5:30pm, but there are lots of toys to keep him entertained.
Recently he added peeing on the floor to his way of punishing us.
What can we do to stop him?
