Animal Behaviour

2. Hyperactive

This usually occurs in young dogs generally from the age of 9 months to 18 months. When they are this age they find it very difficult to sit still and do as it is told. It is constantly trying to find something to do.

However it may not just is in the young dogs it may also be due to the fact that the animal has had little discipline and is constantly looking for attention. If they have more than one person trying to train it the dog will often become confused and will not know where it stands and how it should be behaving. This then means that it is constantly looking for attention and often the best way to do this is to be noisy.

3. Hypersexed

  This is a very unsociable behaviour. It often occurs in young dogs and they try to mate with inappropriate objects (chair legs, bedding, toys).

There is another form of hypersexed behaviour this often is when the dog is being territorial. This includes urinating on different objects to show that it is their space.
