We have a female golden Retriever who is four years old named Zoe- she recently started acting like this too- at first I was worried too thinking maybe is she trying to tell us she's sick or something- after further review- I realized she's probably acting like this because my husband just went back to work after being off 8 weeks post hernia surgery- We think this is the reasoning for the odd behavior- but we will watch her too- if anything else changes: stools/eating etc. we will bring her to the vet to get her checked out-

Expertise

Puppy questions about House Training, Crate Training, Play-biting? Please visit my website. Site address is http://www.howsbentley.com.

I will answer all questions about canine behavior and training, training methods and equipment. Be ready to provide dog's name, age, sex, breed and how long you have owned the dog. In addition, it'd be great for me to know how long the problem has been occurring, what you have tried to solve the problem(s) and what were the results.

The more information you provide me - the better equipped I will be to offer sound, helpful advice! Thank you.
