My dog is being a royal pain in the *ss. She is a boxer and has always been very territorial, but lately it is getting out of hand. We live on a pretty big property, and it's not unusual for her to go check out what the neighbours are doing and bark at them if they are in their yard, but lately she is taking it to an entirely new level. If she sees any sort of motion anywhere near the front door she loses it and goes charging across the house to bark at the door, even if it's just my OH grabbing something out of his coat. She will wake from a dead sleep and charge outside and bark her face off at nothing. She just seems so much more on edge and more territorial. I don't know if it's because I'm pregnant, but the timeline is about right and my OH says she doesn't do it when I'm not home. We are getting a little fed up with her. She is also deaf, so once she gets in her crazy mood and charges outside we can't call her back to us or yell at her to stop, so we are just living with it!
