We call this behavior being spicy

As in, “How was Mandana today?”

“Oh, she was a little spicy”

She’s not really being bad. She’s just acting the way you would expect an adolescent dog to act when they are deprived of exercise, training, etc due to short term circumstances. It doesn’t do anyone any good to label her behavior as bad or naughty so we take a more positive approach and call her spicy 🌶
