Walk-attitude change

Behavioral Issues
  • On a previous thread I mentioned how Gossy wouldn't walk beyond our block (but would do fine at the parks) - something bothered her in the neighborhood I guess.
    Well the other day we headed in the opposite direction - I don't really like going this way because much much more traffic but there's an older bitch tricolor (pun intended) I thought we might run into - anyway Gossy just wanted to keep going and going and going (like the Energizer bunny)! I had to pick her up to head back - wow what a change.

  • I had one that just didn't like going in certain direction but would energetically go in another direction. Just a preference I guess.

  • maybe that was the problem all along, he just wanted to go to where the GIRLS are!

  • Uh not quite - Gossy is a girl too :)

  • Is Charmeddvd123 a spam post? It shows up on all the threads, always says the same thing, and includes all those links to other stuff which have nothing to do with the Basenji Forum. Is there a way to get rid of it?

  • Curious to know if Gossy ever has this happen occasionally.

    I notice Kananga does this every now and then. The last two days he has refused to walk in a certain direction. I can tell he's worried about something because his ears are pinned back and he's trying to get out of his collar. I have to pick him up and walk him to where we need to go. Just a few days ago he was fine, it seems like this happens every couple months or so. Sounds similar to what you were going through.

    @rugosab Mku loves to do that but my kid is 49 years old. He still plays with the puppy when he is home. LOL

    @rocky1 I'm so very sorry for your loss. They become such a part of our souls. I've already had a few tears over just the thought of what it will be like without him.

    It started several months before the second dog arrived. Maybe the lack of visibility is the issue - I raised the platform yesterday so the kennel sits a little higher (though maybe not high enough) so we'll see tonight (of course it will be dark out and cold so probably not a good test).

    Jaycee on Sunday was on the deck sleeping in the hot sun. However when we did class on Sunday my husband took his shoes off and was on the pavement with her to see if it was to hot. Trainer ask him if he had shoes Steve told sure do but if it is to hot for my feet its to hot for Jaycee. Rita Jean

    <> Cute! Good idea too! I am truly not offended :) I think I just misread the post. Nothing worse than giving advice when it wasn't wanted...and I felt bad that I might have stepped on your toes :)
