Bone anxiety - 06-07-2007, 04:11 AM

I don't know quite what to think when Taylor turns on an act after being presented with a bone. Dogs always do something for a reason. What is the reason here?
The last two occasions I have given Taylor a large, heavy bone, he has left the bone and gone over to me and ran around me, jumped up at me several times,slung down and appealed to me. None of these actions displayed any aggression towards me. What is he trying to tell me? Both times he continued to leave his bone alone when I went inside the house. And only after some movement on my part and imploring him to get stuck iinto his bone, did he finally obliged. And two-three hours later, the bone was done for. But of his original behaviour I am at lost to put a finger on it, though I have some ideas.
What's your opinion?

Hey you know your dog and have your insights. No need to contribute interpretations or opinions for you to disagree with on something you've already made you mind up about.

Michael,
Sometimes Zachary acts a little weird after I give him a treat; he will pace up and down the hall with the treat in his mouth and whine. I feel he is telling me he is not hungry right now but would like to save the treat for later and would I please help him hide it. So I do and he is okay. He will go back later when he is ready to eat it. I think Taylor may be trying to tell you that he is not hungry and/or he doesn't like where you are feeding him the bone. Zachary does not like to have his marrow bone outside on our deck. He will only eat it in the house when he is ready.

What do you think?
Edna
