abnormal behavior

J.B

Hello, The last two days my dogs behavior has been abnormal(out of character). At night he has been changing his positioning on the bed constantly and always waits for me to take him out for walk etc. unless he really needs to go he will let me know in an obvious manner, and as soon as we are outside he goes.I mention this because he has now been doing this every couple hours, but nothing when we go outside, and where he stays on bed all morn. until I take him out , this morn. he was laying by the front door and laid by the door again this afternoon which he never does. (he has a cushion bed which is the only place he lays during the day, never on floor except in summer because it's cooler. This may not sound strange or may be it does , but if you knew my dog this is very odd, and I'm not sure what he is trying to tell me so to speak. (I thought he was trying to get me out of house for some reason, I just can't figure it out)His breathing seems fine , may be a little faster but I think that is he senses my aniexity. Jindos are ridiculously smart and have many characteristics as humans, He can read me like a book and visa versa and I always know what he's thinking or what he is going to do before he does it, but this is new to me. Any thoughts? I would be very grateful for any suggestions etc. Thank you. He has been limping off and on but I think that is from a bad nail clipping(uneven)also last night it seemed like he was never closing his eyes but on "watch command" and kept jumping off the bed then back up or stayed on floor. NEVER has he done this before. Thanks again

Symptoms: Pain, Behavioral

  Before you go down the behavioural route I would strongly suggest you get him checked out by your vet for any pain or medical condition. If you get the all clear try and think of any reasons why he might be anxious during the night. Was he awoken at all by a loud noise or disturbance? Be careful how you respond to his behaviour as if you become anxious so might he. He may not necessarily know that you are only anxious about his behaviour and not something more sinister. Act normally and do not react to his behaviour, look away and go about your daily buisness. But do get him checked out first if this continues. Rosie Barclay

  Good Dog? Bad Dog?

  Good Dog? Bad Dog? By Rosie Barclay. This book concentrates on changing the traditional views of how we perceive and treat our dogs using what we have learned from scientific research so far. It starts at the beginning by looking at ways of how to chose and bring up a new puppy that may reduce the likelihood of future problems. It then goes on to cover different problems that commonly occur between owners and their maturing or adult dogs by discussing real case studies. TO BUY VISIT www.rosiebarclay.com
