Ghost period?

Ally is now 13 months and having (what I call) a ghost period

It seems like everything is scary and needs to either be barked at or escaped from..

I spoke to Carole about it and she told me Star have gone through the same. Only Starīs were coursed by at a bad experience at the vet (hope its ok I tell Carole).

But Ally havenīt had any bad experiences..at the vet or any other place

Have any of you tried that or something like it with your dogs??

Saffy spent 2 months barking at her shadow! Between ages 11months to 13 months.

Everynight she would fall asleep and then wake up and see a shadow and bark at it for about 10 mins.

No.. I try to ignore it and move her attention to either training or playing (depends on the situation).

Doesnīt work for long though

I just think its weird that all of a sudden she gets so scared of everything.

Even people she knows, places she has been to since she was a puppy, etc..

Its very frustrating a I feel sorry for her aswell.

But I guess youīre right. I just need to be patience (which Iīm not ).

Thanks Carole
