 Personality Change
by: Mary

I haven't heard of this problem yet but there is information about "training" your dog and fixing behavioral problems.

Has something new happened in your house? Maybe a new baby or a new work schedule? Did you move?

Whether or not a change has been made for some reason the puppy is changing. This sounds like a good case for the Dog Whisperer. Cesar Milan has a website where you can go for information. There are other websites too and books.

I would also call the vet to see if he wants to run any tests.

Our Bostons are only 4 years old so we have not experienced this problem. We do have several different personalities since we have 3 dogs. Each one is different and needs different approaches.

Let us know what you find out!

 poor Dog

I reckon something has changed in his life - perhaps his food for example or he is feeling unwell - if this has just happened after 8 years
