Adolescence can be a difficult time physically, hormonally and emotionally for dogs as it is with humans.
The adolescent phase (known puberty in humans) can start as early as 5 months of age in small breed dogs, but usually commences once the fast growing period has stopped which can be between 7 & 18 months (depending on the breed and the adult size of your dog). In both male and female dogs it is triggered by the changes in the hormones and in females that haven't been neutered will probably have their first "season" and in males they may exhibit inappropriate behaviours.
Families of dogs going through this stage often call their dog "stubborn", "deaf", "Ignorant" & other less polite descriptions. But this isn't the case they are just going through a natural phase of their development to maturity.
