miss2 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 hi everyone. my little jack Russell always cries when I give him a chew treat. He seems to do it more with raw hide but has been known to do it with anything. I give him the treat, he gets all excited, does a couple laps of zoomies and then starts crying... he walks around the house and im sure he is looking for somewhere to bury it but I don’t understand the crying bit. Would it be frustration of not knowing where to bury it? he will often come and stand at my feet with it in his mouth whinging and crying to me but will not drop the treat lol Any ideas? ps - sorry if this is in the wrong section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taliecat Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I would think it's frustration. My boy does the same thing when he gets a bully stick or a bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-o Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Ha, I don't think it's a bad thing. My dog cries when she hasn't seen me for a while, but she also rolls around the floor in excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascalmyshadow Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 My old poodle girl used to do the same thing until she found the perfect hiding spot. She also used to do it while carrying around her rubber chicken, was almost as if she was asking me to help hide it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_PL_ Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 It can just be excitement :) I had a foxy who barked, cried and whined and carried on in the car, it took a while for the penny to drop (stoopid human) that he didn't hate the car .. he LOVED the car!

Yonjuro Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Sounds like excitement to me as well. Maybe put down a rumbled up old towel that he can try and bury the treat under if that is his desire :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VizslaMomma Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 mmmmm good frustration i'm hoping lol It's a bursting kind of excitment/happiness and loving the idea of the treat. But part of the dog wants this treat safe secure and not touched because maybe there might never be another treat. 'And Momma, help me safeguard the treat... oh boy, a treat, I got a treat.' I am sure you known that delightful JRT frenzy of enjoyment. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
