Guest Xen Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 so, my firend's lab was out the other night, we've been training him for a year and a half, great dog, listens well, etc... but, a couple of nights ago, he's started a new thing, he looks at the ground right in front of him and pounces at it like there is something there. this wouldn't be a big deal, but he is doing it almost all the time, he's stopped retrieving, he won't heel, he acts like you're not even there, like what is in front of him is just the most important thing in the world. he does this for HOURS, not just like once or twice. the only way i can really describe it, is almost like a cat playing with a laser pointer. ****, he almost looks like he's going on point. anybody ever had or heard of anything like that?

Covehnter Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Re: weird dog behavior, actally, kind of creepy Never heard of such behavior. . . . you may want to take him to the vet and let them check him out. My have something wrong in his ears disturbing his equilibrium or something. Or he could be part cat i dunno. . . . jk Good luck finding a cure!

dogdoc Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Re: weird dog behavior, actally, kind of creepy it's called "catching flies"---they act like there are flies--sometimes they pounce sometimes they bite at them---can be a sign of encephalitis. You need to see a vet! todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
