Simon&Sophia Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Qilaq has started doing this crouchy/stalking thing when approaching other dogs, and then lying down like a collie does....sort of looking like shes ready to pounce haha. All in a completely non aggressive way - it is Qilaq afterall lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calin Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Yeah Aries does this too, except without the lying down on the ground bit. I don't know why, but it does seem to happen a lot more around dogs his size or bigger and its been happening a lot since last summer when we took him to Holland. Dogs are generally more aggressive there as most people rarely socialize them properly, and he's been attacked a few times (think, 7 times in 3 months vs once in over a year in London despite all the idiots with pits as status dogs). That makes me think its a "is this dog cool" thing, but usually once he realizes the other dog means no harm Aries stands up and is all playful again.

Stormy Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Shadow did this once for the first time the other week we were walking around a lake and a massive Akita offlead came running towards us shadow did that and laid down as if ready to pound ive never seen him do it before to any dogs! The Akita got called back and went back luckily. We saw it again on the way round it was on lead this time and Shadow started talking to it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emma&Cookie Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I always thought that was a submissive thing, laying down on the floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWolf Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Glala does this _all the time._ Especially when she sees that the other dog is walking toward her. If the other dog stops she usually takes a leap and wants to run towards them (dragging me behind of course ). All in a playful way and she only seems to do it with dogs that also want to play or are at least curious in meeting them. Glala immediately backs off is she senses that the other dog isn't going to like it so I never had dogs going in a defence mode because of that. In fact, by watching Glala's behaviour when she sees dogs in the distance I can usually predict whether the other dog is going to be either playful or mean.

Simon&Sophia Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I always thought that was a submissive thing, laying down on the floor? its not really in a submissive way by the looks of it, i think its just when she wants to play really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovemysiberian Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Yes, Echo did this for the first time on her last play date with her Pit Bull friend! She was in grass and got down on her belly and just crawled and stalked her buddy for a minute or two and finally got up and ran full speed at her.. reminded me of a wild cat, lol!
