Thank you everyone. This is a bit of an odd question. Do any of your Shelties fight with the floor ? Usually sometime after 7 pm Henry starts fight with the floor. Barking and trying to bite it , scratch at it . It’s really ridiculous and lasts about maybe 5 minutes

Jocu would do something similar to his chew when he was a puppy
actually he's 7 yrs now and still does it- need to get updated video sometime......

Yes, Liam does both of these activities too! Just crazy puppy behavior I think. I hope!
I thought the same as Caro posted, possibly got into something that elevated his liver enzymes?
I took Liam off puppy food at 6 months.

My first sheltie did the same thing! We got her a few cardboard boxes and she would jump in those and scratch like a bandit!

Bet he did it once and you laughed and now it's part of his repertoire, the more you laugh, the more he'll do it. These puppies are so darn easy to train for naughty! Deska did all sorts of cheeky, silly things - he was just a big clown. As long as he isn't barking at the shine on the floor or his shadow - that's an OCD behaviour that should be discouraged.

Beef liver is great (as long as it's not made in China). But you can't give too much as it gives diarrhea. Avoid anything that lists sugar, glycerin or honey (bad for teeth), and read the fat content - dog yoghurt drops for example can be 1/3 fat!
 
so I did take some video within the last couple months of Jocu playing with his cow horn- kind of dark but you can see how much fun he's having- with the toy and trying to convince the other dogs to join in.....
 
Henry I do not use special treats, I use the daily dry food, so I am sure the stomach will not be disturbed :wink2:
 
I've been buying the Zuke's puppy treats and then cutting them in half. Treats are expensive - there is a recent thread here with instructions and recipes on making your own. I am trying one recipe this week - tuna fudge!

I was using regular puppy food for treats with potty training but there wasn't anything really special about them. When I switched to using the actual treats for treats, it was a bigger deal to get the treat after going potty. I had bought Wellness soft bites and tore them in fourths, but they are fairly rich. Brodie can handle them now as special treats, but when I started using them as potty treats, they gave him loose stools. Too much of a good thing. Hence we now reserve the Wellness for really special times like when the vet comes to visit.

I found an animal sound video on you-tube. If I put it on, Brodie goes crazy over my phone. I can put it on the floor upside down so the glass is on the floor and he tries to scratch and 'attack' the case. He also will 'attack' his reflection in the glass of the entertainment unit under the tv. Sunday morning, when the 'other dog' barked at him the same time he barked, he fell over backwards in shock. They are soooo silly!
