Gunner & the Water Hose - YouTube
On Tuesday I went to my parents and brought Gunner along with his sprayer. Of course, he acted like he did in the video above. I then hooked it up to a sprinkler and he went crazy. Once I turned the water off, he was crying and pawing towards the sprinkler. He was starting to fixate on it. This is where I am stuck.
I found something he likes but part of me wants to stop because of the fixation towards the sprinkler/sprayer. Does other dogs do that? Did you stop playing with them and the spinkler/sprayer because of it? Or is it a ' not so bad ' fixation ( could be fixated on worse things ) and he is having fun so why stop?
