Thanks for your replies. My dog is a doxie. I have had him since he was a puppy-he's 1 1/2. Recently we got a new puupy-I thought he would enjoy the company. About two weeks ago, about a month after the puppy came home, he started pouncing, biting and digging on the couch. We thought he smelled something or was after his shadow. The behavior, however, has now become his prominent activity and is taking place on every surface, even outside. He seems to stare at things that are not there. I feel really badly for him because he truly looks as if he's lost his mind. He's still eating etc... but is not as social or playful because he's 'obbsessed' with whatever he is 'seeing.' We have upped his walks etc, but nothing has worked. I have gotten two opinions, but am having a hard time finding articles...on the topic. I would love to hear any thoughts. He is very sweet w/ the puppy, but doesn't pay as much attention to her as he did. Sorry for the long message, but specifics are hopefully helpful. thanks so much!
