Demon was a bit of a shit this morning but by lunch time he was behaving himself, we went for a bit of a pee break but he kept freezing and staring at this one spot out in the garden. I couldn't see anything myself but Im glad I listened to the big menace and brought us back inside instead of going out because the neighbours house was robbed today!

They might be PITAs at times, but we need to at least consider what has their attention. There's even been a few posts on here over the years where an owner thought their DSs were just being "whatever" and ignored the high-alert (or misinterpreted the behavior). In one instance, I recall, it would have saved a woman from a pretty vicious attack by a human predator.

My guy is hyper-vigilant. Ugh. But he's alerted me to some things that I would not have otherwise known.

SO glad your house wasn't hit. Scary, though. Stay safe and vigilant. Just be mindful, if you're a bit fearful or jumpy, that Demon will pick up on it.

TraceDog saved me from certain severe physical harm at least twice and probable harm a few more times. always trusted his judgement. does depend on the dog, but always worth acknowledging.

Good job Demon! Keep up your confidence and Demon will follow - scary things are just that. They happen then they're over. So happy you two are safe!
