Problem

Jas had been doing really well with training classes but lately we've hit a bit of a problem

Whenever a puppy goes past us in the weaving exercise he goes into a sheer panic. His eyes nearly pop out of his head and he starts panting like he's stressed out. I have stopped taking him to the classes as he was getting worse. I don't know why he has suddenly become like this nothing has changed. I have taken him to the vets just to make sure there is nothing else wrong but he seems fine.

I don't know if stopping classes was the right thing but he was getting so stressed i didn't think it was fair on him

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to help him with this problem?

sorry Nae, i hope you get it sorted xx

Very strange Nae, don't know what it could be.

do you meet any puppies outside of the training classes?

No we don't and no-one will walk with us cos of the breed that he is

it might have helped a bit having Jas mixing with puppies outside of the classes.

I wonder whats got in to him he was fine with Minnie at the dog show a proper gent

yeah I know and some of the pups in his class are pups from the puppy class and he got on alright with them.

i havent a clue why it would be with pups and not older dogs? unless he is like my husband who has gone right off kids since he had his own!! poor jas.

Hi Nae
is he definately stressed and not just excited ?
