| Obessessing over something? Lexi has been walking frantically around the house with her nose to the ground for the past 15 minutes like she's looking for something. It's not just in one room either and I try to distract her, but she just keeps on going. It is so weird. Has anyone seen this behavior in their pup before? |

No noises, except the sound of sniffing. She finally stopped when Parker woke up from his nap. Probably did it a good 20 minutes or longer. She was walking mainly along the walls in the dining room and living room. I would call to her and she would just ignore me. I tried picking her up to distract her, but the moment I put her down she went right back to it. Not sure what she was looking for, but whatever it was, she never found it! | |

| Terriers can act like that when they are scenting something like a mouse or even a bit of food nearby. More than likely it is mice scent she's picking up on.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Yep, she's on the hunt! Get used to it. It will happen anytime she's got the scent of something. Nothing will distract her, except just for a moment. When Roxy gets her prey, she brings it to us & lays it at our feet, then sits & waits to be praised. LOL It cracks me up, cuz I'm trying to have hissy fit that she brought it to me when, in reality, she did what she was bred to do... hunt. Shouldn't she be rewarded? Oh my, what to do? Good luck!!!

| Yep, the terrier is strong in Piper; she'll do a pattern around the house until she "uncovers" treat she buried in comforter. And the other day, right as guests were arriving, Piper caught a mouse and brought it in the house. Oh my gosh, I had to "battle" Piper to get the mouse (like I really wanted to that) before it ran off...My co-worker who couldn't get over it...."I've never heard of a dog catching a mouse! A dog!!!" Piper is faaassssst! |
