That is actually a human term and it relates to being at an uncontrollable age (terrible twos) With dogs they are probably meaning 5-7 months when the dog develops certain cognitive skills and wants to show it's independence.

I have only heard this in reference to children...and its true. As far as a dog goes, I have no clue what that is suppose to mean. My shepherds are all idiots until about 12-18 months and then they become perfect little buddies. By two years old they're ready to cuddle with the kids yet kill an intruder. My last Shepherd was 2 1/2 when he saved me from being mauled by a great dane. A great Dane was at my fence and jumped it growling like he was going to eat me. I stepped bacvkwards and tripped over the step and my Shepherd jumped through the screen window and attacked the great dane. My shepherd sent him packing. If you have a dog that is "terrible" at two, you might htink of taking him to obedience classes, its a great way to establish trust and a bond that is unbreakable.

I've heard this but only with toddlers.
People seem to think for some reason that when anything hits the age of 2 years old they are going to be really misbehaved or something.
thats my version

with humans it is when the kid hits two years old. and they have an attitude and are a lot of trouble. with dogs who knows.

its actually terrible twos. and its the same with toddlers. when they turn two, they are terrible!! for dogs...they chew up furniture and pee everywhere. unless you get them REALLY well-trained
