Dale has lots of odd things around the house: hoover, ironing board, dusters, tablets being put in the dish washer to name but a few....... Any ideas how to cure Dale gratefully accepted, though I think I've tried the lot
lol, dale is obsessed with a lot no ideas how to cure it though lol...

* Putting tennis balls down the back of the sofa
* Cats, just saying the word makes him go nuts
* sweeping brushes and the Hoover
* lying in front of the fire

Without a doubt, squirrels, cats and rabbits.
We've had many heart stopping moments when Maggie's chased off at full pelt across the field and disappeared into the hedges and the field beyond in hot pursuit. Her recall goes out the window!

Poppy is obsessed with cats. Soon as one has been spotted the usual routine of the walk (i.e. going to the toilet, smelling around etc) goes out the window to the extent that you have to take her back inside and back out again later to actually do her business!

She’s never off the lead as the neighbourhood would be holding weekly cat funerals!

Scout is obsessed with lights she is truly OCD. she'll stare at the floor by the bedroom door when we walk in, as we may turn on the light (which reflects off the door onto the floor) and she'll get to chase them. she actually gets stressed and will bark/yip/yelp/whine at the lights when she fails to capture them. Camping with Scout is a bit of an exercise in patience (and practicing seeing in the dark)... flashlights drive her crazy, and she'll actually attack an off flashlight so it'll turn on.

Oliver is obsessed with Dogs. his friends he wants to play with 24/7 and strange dogs need to be attacked....

Mouse is obsessed with me. She wont go more than a couple of feet from me at any time, heaven forbid she cant see me.

Zoe's obsessed with herself. It's all about her! and time actually, if she doesn't get what she's supposed to get at a specific time she drives us nuts!

I know what you mean. Off lead is a risk with Maggie and recall training is an always ongoing process, we just try to keep her attention on us so go down there with a pile a different toys to throw to keep her interested . We do odd bits of trick training intermingled with the playing but I so wish I could just take her for a walk in the country and have her off lead and not worry, that really is too much of a risk so it's only the playing field she's off lead for now. Better than nothing though I guess.

We're never had a chaser/hunter type dog before so we're forever learning!

Me neither, she is so focused and so fast they wouldn't stand a chance as most of them think they are safe atop a 5ft fence, they certainly are not!

The beach with another dog is the only time she cn be let off for short periods, had some success with this recently, lovely to see her running free.
