I agree - he's a doggy teenager. I think the hormones and more assertiveness kick in and they start pushing their luck and testing the boundaries a bit.

Our miniature schnauzer is 6, and when he comes home from the kennels after our holidays he is initially a bit clingy and very tired and hoarse from all the barking and generally being nosy he does at the kennels. After a few days he gets a bit stroppy as he settles back down, and he has to re-learn his place a bit.
