How old is he? does he have free time in the backyard ?

I love that dogs can show dislike .... it comes in handy :) At one stage , when I was interviewing people to be my assistant ..the final OK was given by my dog .... honestly . ..and he was absolutely correct :)

AFAIK, there is NO such breed. ;) Whether a dog can relax at home , and not upset owners by property damage is almost entirely due to how the dog is trained and managed .. how the house/yard is designed/managed ,and how well its needs are being met :) 'training' a dog is not just sit & stay .... training is a lifelong process , and it can happen on a level which humans don't notice ... bad habits often 'train' easier than good ones ! Training is filling a dog's life with tasks, with new things, with a method of relaxing , with learning all about the world, and with practising behaviours with which humans are happy . Training is also humans learning what makes a dog do what it does ...it is learning to 'read' the dog's bodylanguage, learning what makes your dog earger to perform certain things ..and what stresses it ... then managing life accordingly.

Our dogs love sleeping on cool floors/concrete areas , and none have had hip probs.

Of course they can feel anxious/aggro toward other individuals .... It's what they do about it is the bit we can manage ;)

Are you sure they're fleas, though? have you looked with a magnifier /microscope? Fleas like carpet etc ..not so much beds....

flea bomb the house, and go out for the day!! ( if they are fleas) On the other hand ...they may be bedbugs? http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Bedbugs

:( Poor man.

Your dog and you need personal help from a recommended professional And no, not one of the franchises.. There could be a couple of things happening, and trying to fix things without help May be detrimental. If you post your location (state, town or city) someone here will suggest where to for trusted help and advice :)

Hi I am on my mobile so will strongly suggest you contact K9 Pro dog training. You need personal advice on a professional level to Help understand and manage this pup and his behaviours.

My animals have always had a home/work ph: number , PLUS the VET ph: number ..which saved my cats life when he was run over :)

amongst others, people who are heartily sick of seeing the damage feral dogs are doing to their livestock, and to local wildlife .....

can't find it ..... it was called something like "how low can they go " ... I think.

ermmmmmmmmm...hangon

there is a thread on this .

:) research is a Very Good Thing ! you may find some useful info from owners HERE.... and lots inHERE :)

My vote here is for an anticipatory excitement/stress triggering the seizure .perhaps he is keen for his food ..perhaps it is a stressful time for him , worrying about what might happen ... and he overloads ....

They don't use hormones these days ....

have you thought of things like the following? LINK LINK

She doesn't have to like them ... they need to learn manners! If she pushes/nips ..maybe that's what it will take for them to learn ...and their owners need to show some respect to other park users ... reading this makes my first thought that of just how uncomfortable your little dog is ... and how hard it must be for her to be confronted with rude pups and be unable to escape ...and then, if she tries to be non aggressive ..you remove any safety she had .... If she were mine .. She wouldn't have to put up with it .... edit to say ..any rude pups/dogs not under control would be severely growled at ....by ME . Bet they wouldn't come back.!

Why did you remove your post ? It's a pretty common problem unfortunately ... adolescents annoying older dogs ...hope you get some help with it ....

Oh, Goody :) You're in Geelong! Contact nekhbet ..who will be able to help you and your boy :) CLICK HERE

I It would be lovely :)

I have seen dogs with heart problems showing similar symptoms .... maybe mention it to the vet , as he seems to have some circulatory irregularities already ? Also, if he had just expended a lot of energy ..hypoglycaemia may need to be thought of ....it ,too can cause seizures
