He will bark at or try to attack the reflection - when this fails he will lick the ground where he saw the reflection and do so continueously for up to an hour (unless physicallly removed from the spot or if he sees another light/reflection he will move to that location and he will start doing the same thing all over again).

2. Male or Female? Female

3. Breed? (*pure bred or crossbred) Huntaway cross Bearded Collie

4. Adopted as an adult dog or raised from a *puppy? (*between 7-12 weeks) puppy

5. Most prominent behavioural complaint(s)? Adopted at 12 weeks from pound but had been abused. Was extremely timid and fearful to begin with - especially with load noises, brooms and men. When frightened she would lose control of her bladder. She was also food aggressive towards other dogs and people. With training and socialization she has since overcome all of these issues, though she can still be abit timid with some strange men.

by starling89 Tue Nov 06 2012, 03:53

1. Dogs age? 5 years

2. Male or Female? male

3. Breed? (*pure bred or crossbred) Schipperke cross

4. Adopted as an adult dog or raised from a *puppy? (*between 7-12 weeks) Adopted as adult (3 years old).

5. Most prominent behavioural complaint(s)? Severe Seperation Anxiety. Would destroy things, bark, pee and poo (in house/car/crate) if left alone or chew his feet til they bled if really stressed out. With medication and training however he now has very mild anxiety and can be left alone for the day (and is no longer on medication unless I'm going away for a few days). He also had fear aggression towards men (fine with women) and could not be around children running or playing or he would give chase and bite their ankles- but again with training this is no longer an issue.

1. Dogs age? 5yrs

2. Male or Female? male

3. Breed? (*pure bred or crossbred) cross breed 'pig dog' (a Blue Heeler/Pit Bull crossed probably with Huntaway/Greyhound)

4. Adopted as an adult dog or raised from a *puppy? (*between 7-12 weeks) adult dog (3.5 years)

5. Most prominent behavioural complaint(s)? Aggression. Had been previously used as pig hunting and guard dog. Had territorial aggression (would guard yard and back of car), aggression towards strangers (esp. men), our pet pig, cats and towards other dogs (especially other males).

Is now much better with training - and living peacefully with other cats, our pig and livestock. No longer as aggressive towards strangers unless he is provoked or feels threatened (e.g. injection time at the vets). He can be around other dogs now - although he will not back down from a fight if another dog acts aggressively towards him.

5. Most prominent behavioural complaint(s)? Destructive behaviour and over excitement. Will chew/destroy things if bored - like ripping up all his bedding, has chewed the side of the deck and outdoor furniture and destroying toys. Will also dig holes in my lawn. He is also prone to getting very overexcited when he does he tends to get so worked up he vomits. He is also bad at jumping up when overexcited.
