Good luck with …
Good luck with trying to get your “spinner” not to spin lol. It’s simply innate in the ones that do it and I don’t think there’s any way to stop it. Dollar to a donut she spins counter-clockwise?

Oh, dear lord. We …
Oh, dear lord. We have two shelties and if they ever start barking this much, I’m either going to put them up for adoption or sign myself up for “learn to be a good pack leader” class. Our tri-colored likes to spin in circles, but we don’t encourage it — poor things are going to have a heart attack!

ahh that is so …
ahh that is so GREAT!
My 6 year old sheltie Misty is crazy when is comes about the front door, walks, showers, ham, dinnertable, the oven, garage doors, when I’m giving someone a back massage, practicing tae kwon do and even closing doors!
She spins around in circles barking. Ah I LOVE HER SO MUCH

In My Home The Phone , And the Kitchen timer , and Dogs On T,V, are the best to start a riot with. Yours look very much like mine. Add a tea cup Yorkie to the mix, And the race is on.

They are high …
They are high energy for sure, but their trainability makes up for it all. Best dog I have ever had in my life. And I have been training all breeds of dogs for 11 years now.

Let me guess, your Montana spins counter-clockwise? Does he also bark while he spins?

OMG that was soooo …
OMG that was soooo cute and funny :0)
My boy Montana is “very” much like your spinner also. The whole neighborhood knows us by the two crazy shelties hehe

made my day thanks for the smile

haha so basically …
haha so basically the story is: everything drives these shelties crazy! they’re so funny! I had a Sheltie, and she was much more shy than these fellows, but one funny crazy habit was that she’d always bark out of control if we sang “Happy Birthday.”

My sheltie also …
My sheltie also spins counter-closkwise. She barks at the microwave, phone, doorbell, mailman, electric tooth brush but the thing that upsets her the most is when ice cubes drop from the ice maker.

You really should …
You really should do a squel. That would be nice.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, my dogs also react to many of those same things as well. Doorbells, blenders (or any electric appliance), feeding the humming birds etc. Perhaps I’ll do a sequel!

This is hilarious! Makes me feel a little better about Ricky’s behaviors! He goes crazy at paper towels and spray bottles, the mail, getting your shoes ready to put on, cars!, getting salad fixings out of the fridge, my purse, me saying I’m going to take a shower….well the list could go on and on! I would love to be inside his mind to try to figure out just what he is thinking!

Interesting point. …
Interesting point. and accurate. Also interesting that one dog has much more of the herding instinct than the other. Compare the Sheltie has Catatonic focus to the video Sheltie in Perpetual motion.

By anderseb2007 on July 8th, 2009 at 6:07 pm

I think it’s …
I think it’s interesting that shelties have evolved neural “programs” they can’t control even in domestic situations. They think some piece of wood is a cat even though it doesn’t look like one and they run around in circles “herding” even if they’ve never herded in their life.

Actually, they also …
Actually, they also go nuts at the doorbell and at meal time as well but I tried to keep it down to the top 10. If I showed everything that set them off it would have been a feature length film. lol. As for the neighbors, they have adopted them as their grandpuppies so no worries.

ARF! ARF! Wow, …
ARF! ARF! Wow, your shelties are the most spinningest, barkiest Shelties I’ve seen in some time! LOL I have three Shelties and one (PIlot) loves to bark at the garbage bags too but I’ve worked hard to stop any excessive barking with other triggers and he’s pretty good for the most part. You didn’t show what your guys do when the doorbell rings or at feeding times - those are biggies at our house. Just wondering, do your neighbors ever complain?

Thanks for the comment. Yes, shelties can be quite entertaining can’t they?

This is so funny! My family has a sheltie too, named Daisy. She barks at the most crazy things! She loves to bark at aluminum foil, thats what all of our family friends know of her. She runs around our kitchen’s island when we just open the cabinet where the aluminum foil is. she also bites at the water coming out of the hose, the vacuum. and garbage bags. and oh yeah, she also barks when you seperate paper plates and pour coffee into the coffee maker :) Shelties are so funny!

the hose and vacuum …
the hose and vacuum are the exact same things that our shelti hates :)

lolz, the mostly …
lolz, the mostly black furred shelti seems to have a spinning disorder, the other shelti never spins. looks like everything sets them off though :). cute sheltis!
