A run just makes him really frustrated. I think I am going have to look at rehoming. He is a generally happy boy, he is just spending too much of his energy focusing on how much he dislikes the neighbours. It may just be that somehow, the neighbour arriving was the last straw, and he just isn't built to live in the suburbs, he could be bored and not stimulated enough so needs to be somewhere he can be.... We are lucky with our kelpie that not only is he laid back, but we have a farm where we can take him for a week or so at a time so he can just run and run and run for days... and come home and be happy to chill again. Kelpies are incredibly smart, and if they don't get enough stimulation they go crazy.... You are right, Kelpies are most definitely not built to live in suburbia, and if I had of known that he had kelpie in him I don't think I would have taken him on. I just love him so much and feel like I am just giving up and betraying him by rehoming him

This is what I am worried about He is a good dog other wise and has never had problems with previous neighbours or even the neighbours on the other side of the fence. He has all his puppy energy which we burn regularly but other then that he is a very good dog.

Okay I am really after some advice, I just don't know what to do. 4 Weeks ago we had new neighbours move in with the existing neighbour who was there. Well, Hector hates them, with a passion. About 2 weeks ago he dug under the fence, into their yard and was just standing there barking at them through the window. We immediately gather some boulders from a vacant block across the road and put a barrier around so that there is no possible way that he can move them.. That has been fine for the past 2 weeks but this morning (luckily I was home) he scaled the fence (well I assume, because there was no holes or anything along the fence line..) He was then again standing at their window barking and howling at them. He loves humans generally but he has taken a real dislike to these people. We have been in this house for 18 months and never had a problem. Hector is 16 Months old. Husky Cross Kelpie (mutt) He gets walked at the very least once daily (can't do twice as I leave at 5:30am for work) He has 2 - 3 one on one training sessions daily. He when I am at work he is outside with Maverick and they have bones, home alone dog toys, other various toys and puzzles. When I get home they come inside with us. I just don't know what else to do, I have taken him around to meet the neighbours properly and he didn't fuss when I was with him. I have tried a dog run, but he just barks and whines with frustration and that pisses the neighbours off (I'm sure it would) I can't leave him inside as I don't trust him inside with out supervision as we have numerous cats & he destroys things when inside. .. I want to use rehoming as a last resort. Although we I rescued him I was told that he was Husky cross, but as he has grown he has turned into what looks and acts like a large kelpie. I think he would do well on a big property where he can run & run & run. I am just looking for some thoughts or advice ETA: apparently since the new people have moved in he has been barking in the morning..
