Odd behavior- humping and chewing cushions?
Ive had my foster since Sunday, a ten year old bully heeler mix (apparently) and about once a day she has this WEIRD episode. Its almost like, heightened anxiety or stress?
She'll start a high pitch whine, lots of panting, then go and try and chew cushions or blankets, then hump. Air hump, hump a dog bed. Any of it. Its SO strange. And nothing seems to help?
Ill take her on a walk and it wont do enough. Ill try and distract and play with her with a bone for her to chew. And it'll work for about 3 minutes.
I reached out to the previous foster who confirmed she did do the humping behavior. But I have no idea
A. why she does this
B. how to help her and make it stop
Any ideas? Anyone have any similar behaviors?
