How old is you little one? Roxy has behaved in a similar way at times. It took some time to figure out the problem, cuz it sure was a mystery. Each time I figured out it was a shadow, the blinds or curtain moving ever so slightly from a fan, the wind, reflection in a window, or some such thing. I had to really watch exactly where she was looking & try to figure it out. In the case of the frightening dishwasher (which you can hardly hear) I took her & sat right up against the dw w/treats & sat very quietly with her giving her a treat now & then. She calmed right down & hasn't paid attention to it since. Each time she was in high alert mode. Don't know that she was ready to rip anything to shreads, but she sure was intense.
If your little one is real young, he could just be learning some of the subtle everyday things that he'll adjust to with time. Shadows & wind used to really spook Roxy, but she has gradually gotten used to them. |
