Constantly hyped up?????????

Mickey is so hyped up all the time i sometimes wonder if hes got something wrong with him

Hes never still and even when he sleeps its only for a short time
Hes always chasing stuff flies bees shadows the cat keira anything
It drives me nuts especially the cat situation
Hes getting more aggressive when play fighting with Keira aswell
getting quite nasty at times Shes got a split lip atm that we think he caused
He now growls and snaps in defiance if you stop him from chasing the cat its becoming a problem
Hes constantly panting and alert never seeming to relax even after hes just been out on a long walk He sleeps downstairs in the hall and you can hear him pacing about in the middle of the night
His nose is straight up Keiras back end when shes been out for a wee im wondering if his hormones are kicking in now hes 2 I can see his nuts being snipped soon at this rate

Anyone had this kind of behaviour
Also has anyone had a dog with a really high prey drive around cats
My cat is stupid and i can see her getting hurt if she carrys on the way she does around Mickey

Dusk is on the go all the time!! But they r ok with the cats hope he settles down for u. X

rea and gemma are on the go all the time, what food do you feed low protein is suppose to slow a dog down, have you tried them plug in things that are suppose to help your dog relax think the are called daf, can't help about the cat don't own one, maybe with the fighting you could try a whistle and treat , maybe that might work with the cats too,

Welcome to my world .....are you sure Mickey isnt called Marley and sorry Bren but Marley has had the snip!!!! Marleys ears are like radar constantly listening when he is asleep, well when he has his eyes closed, he plays rough with Kala but she puts him in his place when she has had enough, we dont have a cat but the neighbours have and I dont know how our windows are still in, he chases and eats flies wasps bees etc he detests out new neihjbours but the stupid people have put their dustbin right beside our bay window.........the only time Marley is good is through the night and out on walks!!! when he is having one of his wicked evenins barking at everything and everybody i put him on his lead in the house, strangely enough it settles him down!

Sam is always on the go. Through the night he is in his crate so he doesnt bother the girls. He also loves to chase flies, wasps anything. I have a problem with all mine wanting to chase cats but thats in the street as i dont own a cats. He is only 15 months old and will hopefully calm down!!
I hope mickey settles down soon bren

Yes Mickey and Marley could be twins Keira takes so much then usually puts him in his place She is so serious and loves to play fight but he always pushes it too far

Mickey also lunges at windows when he sees other animals or the cat

I was thinking of trying one of the plug ins theyre usually meant to calm dogs down on bonfire night

Walking him by the house is a nightmare because there are so many dog owners who have their dogs offlead as soon as Mickey sees another dog he kicks off
Walking Keira is a pleasure so nice and relaxing i know if we meet another dog she will be friendly
Walking Mickey is a nightmare not a pleasure at all
Heres a video of Mickey spotting Mojo in the garden

ive just watched your video with tia,and she has just said....

''that sounds like fred when he sees cats'' :san12: so youre not alone bren the good thing with fred is that he calms down as soon as i tell him too.... its just a nuisance having to tell him, you'd think he would learn :rolls eyes: :

fred would still pounce on bullet the cat if i didnt watch him, the poor cat wont even come into his own back garden cos fred will go mental :2431:

just keep on top of him, keep reprimanding him when he does something wrong, he may eventually get the message lol....

i had a dap collar for fred.... it made no difference at all .... it could just be his age hun, hes still a pup albeit a very large pup

fred drives me crackers in the garden, he rarely settles....hes up and down patrolling the permimeters looking for intruders lol...or chasing flies just generally causing chaos... i sometimes have to chain him up just so he will lie down and settle :rolls eyes: : ...

freds behaviour did calm down a bit when i changed him to tripe and minced chicken ,ive also recently changed his complete meal to arden grange

keep pn top of him and keep reminding him whos boss

lol @ video.

I have 2 cats and Storm pesters them Zara doesnt bother and dusk she doesnt really care but as soon as i shout at storm she leaves them, but when we are outside its different they still go for the cats!!! think they would be used to cats.

God Bren how have you still got unbroken windows

It must be bloody hard for you


I hope it's his age so you can have him calmer

Lets just say hes a character but he really is hard work

Hes lying by my feet like a good boy atm relaxing for a change but no doubt that wont last long

when theyre lying alseep, you wonder what all the moaning was about

then they hear a noise, jump up and do your head in :2431:

awww Bren what a nightmare. but I do think it's his age as well the terrible twos
Mickey looks like Bailey and that video made me larf out loud

have to tried leaving a short lead on him and when he starts to carry on, check him and tell him NO

emmmmmmm youve nicked Marley in that video!!! thats what he is like when the neighbours go to their bin!!!
