What would make him react like this? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I've seen dogs act this way to the smell of blood. Whatever he smelled trust his instincts for the time being. It may save your life.

Really? I think I'll look around there myself and leave him home.
I am starting to be creeped out. Just found the whole thing strange
never really thought about finding something!

I would be afraid to look around by myself. It also could have been a snake you didn't see, or the smell of a wild animal that had passed in that area. They say there are all kinds of animals in suburbia now. I know it sounds silly, but some dags are very sensitive to emotional vibes too. maybe someone had a bad argument in that spot. In any case, I would trust his instincts, and avoid that spot, or have someone with me to check it out.

ItsyBitsy · 10-30-2007, 11:43 AM

Please do not go check out the spot by yourself.
Bring a buddy. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

It's really surrounded by condo's. Not secluded at all. The area runs
the length of the parking lot for the complex. We'll see if any of my
walking buddies are out with their furbabies.

I am really anxious to hear, but be careful when checking the area out! This is creepy.

Just now I took the dogs out to go potty, and Maddie looked up in the sky and started barking like crazy. I looked up and saw nothing. She finally quit...did her thing and then looked up and started barking again. Weird! What was she seeing?

ARCHIE · 10-30-2007, 12:02 PM

Holy Moly you too!
Maybe the halloween goblins are flying around unseen by us humans and
getting ready for tomorrow night

LOL I'll spook myself out and never go check out that site. Don't let
me get carried away here.

That happens when Milo smells a buck.

The other night we were out and he snapped around and wanted back in quick.

I was like, :what?". Then I heard the snort nearby and back in we went!

a_jgonzalez · 10-30-2007, 01:20 PM

If it was in front of woods maybe there was or used to be something hiding there.

laurenr · 10-30-2007, 01:27 PM

If Buddy walks the exact same route every day, and has never done this before, then trust me, your little guy is telling you there is something there that is NOT right. The reaction you describe sounds like that whatever the cause, it is making him very fearful, especially if he is so used to that area.
Let us know what happens today, but please do not go checking "in the woods" alone.

SPOOKY ..dogs know when something is adnormal...

IluvLucy · 10-30-2007, 02:05 PM

I'm really anxious to know what scared Buddy

Like the rest, though, don't go alone!

LoveMyJake · 10-30-2007, 02:07 PM

Wow that's weird. Dogs sense things that we can't. He probably smelled something, possibly a wild animal. Or, maybe there was a wild animal that is dead nearby. Try walking him again and see if he does the same thing. But, take someone with you just in case he sensed something dangerous.

It's funny how dogs sense things. One time we had a Blue Tick/Lab who was always friendly and loved everyone. I never saw her not like anyone, she was just a big loveable bear. But, a cable guy came to fix a problem we were having, and she acted like she wanted to kill him. She would even stand in front of me and bark at him, like she was protecting me. I had to take her to another room and calm her down, but she really did NOT like the guy for some reason. I'm sure she had her reasons, but we couldn't figure it out.
