Pet's info: Dog | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Male | 3 years and 11 months old | 23 lbs
Hello, I am just wanting advice on my 4 year old staffy who has all of a sudden trying to escape our home that we have lived in for 2 1/2 years. I'm talking really trying to escape, like not caring if he hurts himself and we're unsure why. We have another dog, he is walked often and very loved, so why would he all of a sudden try to be escaping?

Is Charlie neutered? If he is enticed by an in heat female he may do whatever he can to get to her. Also consider if something could have scared him in the yard? Kids teasing him, construction close, loud noises, thunder? You may need to consider adding cameras to see what happens to cause him such drive to escape. Good luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
