    Dog owners - I have a question

    Okay, I know my dog is slightly insane, so I guess this could just be a symptom, but thought I would ask if anyone else experiences this.

    Before leaving for our evening walk [can't recall it ever happening for morning walk], I go into the kitchen to put his leash and leader on. While he has been bugging me for a half hour that he is ready, when I tell him to come over so I can set him up, he invariably will pick up a ball, tug rope, rawhide and walk around in circles through the kitchen, around the living room and dining area, back into the kitchen 5-10 times [carrying the item in his mouth] before he drops it and sits down for his leader.

    I am sure there must be some reason, I just can't figure it out.

    Anyone?

      I'm sure it's environmental.

        We have a pomeranian that, whenever he's excited about something, he will spin in circles almost endlessly. We've been told it's just built up energy, but he gets plently of exercise.

        We joke that he's Dale Earnhardt reincarnated: Always making left turns, and occasionally crashing head first into the wall.

          Dogs put things in their mouths when they are overly excited. Mine like shoes. I think they do it to prevent over clenching their jaw

            He's probably doing his "happy dance"... or maybe he's warming up for the walk. lol If I tell my dog we're going for a walk, he goes through an entire stretching routine.

              Maybe he wants to play some catch or tug of war before his walk? Or maybe he has OCD? lol

                OK, looks to me that the dog is OK but we have to train the owner.

                (1) Why would you wait for a half-hour to take out the dog when you know the dog is ready? This alone can make the dog nutty. One of my dogs will nibble at my feet or legs when he needs to go out and if I don't take him out, he will go do his shit (literally) under the kitchen table in revenge.

                (2) When it is time for the dog to go out, you need to assert control by telling the animal to "Sit" or even better yet, create a new command and procedure; "Leash!", in which scenario the dog MUST sit and wait until he is leashed and then can be given follow-up commands like "Door!", "Let's go!", "Outside", etc; whatever you like as long as it is consistent.

                (3) When you call "Leash!", for a while you may have to go get the dog inorder to eliminate the running around; it must be made clear to the dog that "Leash!" means NOW, you ignorant mutt! Just kidding about the ignorant mutt part; the dog is lots smarter than most people think.

                Remember also that the dog must walk alongside you, not in front of you.

                  He's just excited. Dogs are creatures of habbit and they will do the same things over and over. For instance, I bet your backyard has little paths running around or through it that Buddy likes to use over and over even if they don't lead directly where he might be going.

                    He smells that you are a bitch and a loser and lets you know that you'll do things on his terms, not yours.

                    Smart dog. Good nose!

                        I know someone who's cat will pick up and drop 1 piece of dry food into it's water dish once they are freshly cleaned and refilled. EVERY time the bowls are refilled, and it's clearly on purpose. Makes you go hmmm.

                          Because, unlike you, I am the pack leader. Not him.

                            One path. Gate to patio. The only way I can get him to stop using it long enough to let the grass grow back is to stick sticks in the ground. Then he walks along side said path.

                            I just gave up on that one.

                                Like I said, creatures of habbit. My dogs have a "track" that goes completely around the backyard. No matter where they are in the yard, they go to the path and then follow that in, even if it's completely the long way around.

                                  He is telling you what he wants to do. He wants to play with that particular object while on the walk. Make it his Good boy toy of the day.

                                    You need to train your fucking dog. I go running with dog every morning. Dog knows what's up. If she so much as wines or looks at me the wrong way she stays home.

                                          Creatures of habit.

                                          For example, I found out sometime last year that my dogs all do a specific action after the final few taps of the spoon on the last bowl of food. ( I always feed them in the same order and in the exact place every time.)

                                          One does a jump/spin around, one stretches, another jumps up on his hind legs, two of them run over to where I usually place their bowls and sit down and the last one cocks her head to the side.

                                          It's hilarious, but they do it every time.

                                                sounds like anxiety to me. Don't get the "walk stuff" ready to go until you're ready to leave and the dog is reading your habits/behavior for signals it's "time" for a walk.

                                                Think of whatever your dog puts in it's mouth while waiting for you as a stress reliever / anxiety reducer.

                                                  I don't. However, he knows if the ICQ goes off that I will respond to it, and he sighs with resignation. It is funny, because he does it only on the night walks, and it doesn't matter if it is just the two of us or if goodgirl is in town and goes with us.

                                                  I will go with "he's really anxious" to get going and can barely contain himself.

                                                        I too would think he is just excited

                                                        my two dogs lie quietly until i put my shoes on for the evening walk and then they go nuts

                                                        everytime

                                                            Before leaving for our evening walk [can't recall it ever happening for morning walk], I go into the kitchen to put his leash and leader on. While he has been bugging me for a half hour that he is ready, when I tell him to come over so I can set him up, he invariably will pick up a ball, tug rope, rawhide and walk around in circles through the kitchen, around the living room and dining area, back into the kitchen 5-10 times [carrying the item in his mouth] before he drops it and sits down for his leader.

                                                            I am sure there must be some reason, I just can't figure it out.

                                                            Anyone?
                                                            Mine does that too, he has gotten better but it's a challenge to get the leash on almost every time. They can't control it I know this for sure, some sort Pavlovian switch with the leash that triggers their Adrenalin.

                                                            Cute though uh

                                                              He cracks me up. Like 10 strolls thru the house, then sits down and lets me put it on. And yeah, if I tell him to sit he will, but for someone that wants to go for a walk, he sure adds additional delay to the process.

It is funny, because he does it only on the night walks, and it doesn't matter if it is just the two of us or if goodgirl is in town and goes with us.
