| Well the best I can tell you is that he needs to learn who the boss is again. His age at three can be best described as a teen ager with authorty issues. So a refresher in obedience would do really well right now. He is questioning authority and he needs to know that every two legged member of his pack is above him. So while it seems sudden, and it may be, it has to do a lot with his age and maturity. With proper guidance he will be that great dog again. But don't wait, get him in class with the family right away. |
I'm sorry  , I forgot to welcome you to the fourm. We are always so happy to have new members and we insist you share your stories and photos.
So Welcome Freddie! |
| It could be a sign of dominance and I agree that a refresher course in "Nothing in life is free" might be in order. Good suggestion.
I'd also consider a good going over by the vet to ensure there isn't something physically bothering him. I hate to actually show people my ignorace of the REAL English language, but may I ask exactly what part is the "boot of my car"? |
| Hi, thank you for your reply. Your advice was very helpful, I will put him back into training, and let him know his place again, as he is such a loving pet usually. |

Funny you say get him checked by the vet, becaused he has an upset set stomach today, so this could be part of the problem. He seems fine now though. I am sorry, I should have said trunk of the car. |

I drive a Mini Cooper-- I didn't even think twice. I second the idea of him not feeling well possibly causing his reaction. In my opinion, it's always easier to explore possible health problems first because it's hopefully something that can be easily rectified. Behavior issues take a lot of work! I hope your pup's feeling better soon if that's what it is! |
| In my manual transmission cars a boot was the piece of leather that wrapped around the shift and attached to the console to keep out the dirt and noise from the underside of the car.
In my later cars, a boot was a piece of the Constant Velocity Joint (CVJ) that keeps the dirt off of the axles. When that boot gets a hole in it, the CVJ is usually doomed... (and it's expensive). So having a sheepdog in a "boot" in any of my cars would have been quite a trick!  |
| Lol. The "boot" was Clyde's favorite place to curl up when he was little. Obviously in the Mini, the boot is pretty small and it sits lower than the seats when they're folded down-- it's the perfect little sheepie sleep area. |
