As far as the shaking.... he just wants the toy. He wants it so bad that he gets fixated on it and shakes. It's riddiculous.
Example:
Yesterday my boyfriend and I were watching TV in bed and the pups were with us and Hendrix was staring at my boyfriend and shaking. After 20 minutes or so of us laughing and trying to figure out what he wanted my boyfreind realized he was sitting on Hendrix's bone...... yeah...... haha. And then when he gave Hendrix the bone he was totally fine and happy chewing his bone. |
sounds like you are a WONDERFUL mommy
But the licking the toy, in that respect, is normal for him. I know many dogs will take the toy and go somewhere quick and lick/suck on it. The people that I know whos dogs do this- just let them.
Man the shaking has me. I guess if it were me, I would do whatever I could to avoid the shaking happening because I don't think the fixation is necessarily a good thing but by letting him shake, then giving him what he wants, he is learning that shaking gets him what he wants. So if it were me, i would do what i could to avoid it.
What do you think happens when you are out and he wants something? how long can this shaking go on for?
