Hi Sylvia, Kindred Spirit here so I can appreciate your comments. I’ve only seen that kind of fear response once in my dogs. We were out for a bit of Cani Cross around town and we ran through a group of people gathered on the sidewalk (I called out to let them know we were coming and they graciously made room). On running through them Diva immediately went down in a flat and she looked terrified but we kept on moving so it didn’t become a problem. I don’t like being afraid so I’ll confront my fears until I rise above it. My nana always said I was obstreperous and contrary enough to float upstream! lol
Usually if the cattle are in the fields and they are lying down too close to the fence Happy will hesitate to walk by. If they are standing up he doesn’t hesitate. Maybe because lying down they look different than he is used to so he doesn’t perceive them as being the same animals? BUT no matter what the cattle are doing, if the farmer is at the end of the driveway, he will go to greet the farmer.
Happy could’ve been frightened, but he would take a treat, which he doesn’t do when he’s uneasy. I thought perhaps he injured himself, but didn’t see any evidence of that either.
Maybe he was simply waiting for the farmer and wasn’t bothered by the bulls. I am bothered by bulls regardless of what they are doing. Cows don’t bother me, I know that they are very curious and will come to investigate what piques their curiousity.
I am trying to decide whether I should walk that way again, or if it is putting us in danger. If I knew that Happy would react to a bull’s threat by leaving it alone, I would feel more comfortable.
We walk that way so often that I think the bulls and cows are pretty used to us, they don’t even bother looking at us most of the time, but that doesn’t mean I want to stop and socialize with them.
Happy sounds to me like the proverbial “moose dog.” As we’ve discussed before he has a high prey threshold, and he loves water, and so feels resonance with bulls even though they are path of such high resistance. He lays down to the ground in order to “ground” his heart, to push his heart to the ground in order to feel stabilized given that he has projected his “self” into the form of the bull, and so when they move, he feels movement in his chest and doesn’t know yet how to go with that. Good thing to do is to teach him to bark on command to you so that he projects his “self” into you, then do pushing and heeling as you go away and thus you can become path of HIGHER resistance relative to the bull; as well as the negative-of-bull-energy-to-which-he-can-make-contact, the farmer.
Thank you, I will try that! (when the bulls are not so close, just in case the barking gets them mad.) Luckily the farmer is very nice.
We went to the vet this week – I tried to keep him focused on staying on the table, but I got the feeling that Happy was going to jump right off unless he was leaning into me on the edge of the table. I sometimes feel the same way on bridges, that he is thinking about jumping off. I don’t think he has a good sense of height. He was good at the vet, though, he didn’t seem to be too worried.
my vet examines even my mid size dog on the ground, not on the table.
too dangerous.
my friend has a papillon who jumps off any height, broke his leg multiple times.
she lost her pet health insurance plan from too many claims for him for broken legs.
last time he broke his leg, it would not heal and they had to have it amputated. sigh .
…curious if he still jumps like he did before…probably…
