| Hello, I have a problem with my puppy; I was hoping that you could help me, please. I have a six month old White German Shepherd, and he has recently been acting very strangely. He lives outside, with his half-sister (who is black and tan). When I go inside he will sit outside, look in the window and maybe bark at the odd person walking by. Although when I go outside to play with him and his sister, he will check to see who is there (and if I have food) but then walk, sometimes run around in circles, or in a line sniffing the ground and every couple of metes bark at the ground. Initially I thought the he was tracing the sent of rabbits, but when he started circling the car, [that was in the garage, and I knew that rabbits couldn’t have been there] I wasn’t sure what it was, that was making him go mental.

Sometimes, I have to force him to come and eat his breakfast or dinner. It’s really frustrating me not only because of the barking, but the fact that I cannot play with him, also I am scared that the neighbours will complain of his barking. Before he stated doing this, he was the most loving, gentle dog, and has only been doing it for a week or 2, but I’m hoping that there is a way to stop him, or if he will grow out of it. I am not sure what to do, and I am just surfing the Internet on any other people who are having the same problem, but cannot find anything useful, actually I cannot find anyone else with this problem I have always had a German Shepherd, but its always been a black and tan, female and I have never had this problem before. Maybe it’s to do with the gender, I am not sure. If you ... |
