Hyper

arousal, excitement

Too excited. Another case of over-excitement causing the problems

Another case of a dog that simply gets too excited. Louis is a Labradoodle, age twenty months. Here is a summary of the problems: Louis gets too excited when people come to the house. He goes crazy at the doorbell and as soon as anyone enters he jumps up for Read more…

arousal, excitement

Obsessing, stressing, panting, licking

He paces. He pants. He is constantly obsessing on something. His stress infects the other two Cocker Spaniels, Charlie and the younger Billy. There is no respite for him

arousal, excitement

Uncontrolled excitement. Biting arms. Attacking feet.

Such uncontrolled excitement is a challenge to deal with.

They let Tia out of the utility room and into the kitchen where I was standing. She flew at me, grabbing my arm with her teeth. She repeatedly jumped up.

arousal, excitement

lack of impulse control at holm and on walks

Much of Blue’s early life was spent in a crate after he and his brother began to fight. He was rehomed. Next he was in another bad situation before being taken in by a rescue. Then he was fostered by someone with fifteen dogs. Now introduced to a steady home life, it’s little Read more…

Chaos with hyperactive dog

Chaos Jumping all over people, flying behind them around the backs of the sofa, leaping up at faces when they are standing, stealing things then destroying or eating them, tail-chasing round and round, and suckling his blanket.

They come home to destruction

The young couple, with their dog, are caught up in a downward spiral of manic behaviour, destruction, scolding and nearly tearing their hair out. The young lady is reduced to tears.

Cockerpoo stealing and guarding

There is one word that best describes delightful one-year-old Cockapoo Joe – unruly! He is clever, affectionate and dearly loved. A lot of time and effort is spent on him while his owners do their very best for him in every way they know how. Confrontational tactics Using confrontational tactics Read more…

Cocker is simply too excitable

Excitable Ollie just kept on going! Pacing, rushing about, panting, drinking, wanting to go out, clamouring for attention, chewing……. Being excitable may be an emotion and part of a dog’s personality – but it can be a learnt behaviour too when it’s constantly reinforced. Dogs very often mirror their humans. Read more…

Over-stimulated. How can the terrier gain more self control?

Who could fail to love Riley! He can be rather too much though. Riley is a one year old Parsons Russell Terrier; he flies all over people and is extremely excitable. Stimulating an already over-stimulated dog like this with even more exercise and play can backfire. It all depends upon Read more…
