Been a while since i replyed... Sorry guys forgot about this topic
my bad
I would say a phantom pregnancy would be her problem. Sounds just like it. Is she collecting any other toys or nesting?
Edit: If it's a phantom pregnancy, it should pass on it's own after a couple weeks.
Also, if she isn't listening, it might be that she's fixating on the bear too much to hear you. You could always take her in to the vet to get her ears tested. How old is she? Dogs lose their hearing in old age just like humans do.
She's 3 years. I Highly Doubt she's gonig death yet..
I agree it's worthwhile to check it out but you shouldn't take a dog to the vet for a behavior problem and expect the vet to be able to fix it.
Also, I don't think you should do anything until you know the root of the problem. Just like you wouldn't treat an illness or a problem with your tank without first knowing what it was. Taking the bear away has the potential to compound the problem and she could just turn this obsession to another toy and start all over again.
Knox, how old is she? How often do you walk/exercise Amy and for how long? Has she recently been in heat and come out of it? Was she around in-tact males during this time? Is she obsessive towards anything else? Have you seen her nesting (collecting blankets in a certain spot, digging) or collecting toys? Any other behavior issues, like aggression, being territorial, etc.?
Does she respond to other sounds or is she oblivious? There are some simple tests you can do to see if she's deaf though I don't know how this would work with her being so obsessive over the toy. I would have the vet check her hearing for you.
She's 3 Years old tomorrow
Went out specialy to buy her a gift! ( Hav'nt brought any-one else a gift this crimbo!
) I Dont walk her in the winter since she freeze's and Refuses to Move! And nope.. No heat at all... Yep... Seen her nesting And Nope no other Toys.. Umm She's Never aggresive. Unless she attempts to ammuse herself Eg:
Jumping onto the bed streching out. Barking And Rolling around ( quite cute to be honest ) And the other time when she Throws the ball into the air.. She HATES it when i hide it from her.
And Territorial..
Yep.. She took my brothers bed and now he's cramped into the corner OF the bed. But In the end the dog just goes to the end of the bed and lays there.
she sounds anxious and playful. does she beg in other areas? has she had basic obedience or does she know basic commands?
just tell her no and mean it. dont feel bad about it. you dont like the whinning. then take it away, and put it away. she will keep whining and tell no. then to sit and make her be calm.
almost like separation anxiety, but over a toy.
also take her for more long walks.
hope she settles down for you.
She knows a fair few Commands. All the basic's
the "No" And Mean it Does'nt apply to her. She does'nt listen she just looks at me like
wth? And then walks off like
And runs off to cause more chaos
longer walks are a no no.
