Young Border Collie Addicted to Ball Chasing

click for calm helped him to settle

Why can constant ball throwing create an obsessive, over-excited dog?

The young couple has a beautiful Border Collie pup called Sabre, soon to be sixth months old.

He greeted me outside the house, pulling hard to get to me. Most of the time I was with them he was flying all over the place or barking at the young man in particular. He barked for him to throw a toy. 

The man always complies because the barking goes right through his head.

Confused French Bulldog is Difficult to Read

He is a very difficult little dog to read. With no tail we get no clues from that end. With his flat face only his eyes give a clue. It is very likely that in the past he thinks he has given other dogs warning signs to keep their distance but they have simply been unable to read them. So now, probably confused, he goes straight into attack mode.
