Thanks all for your advice :) I understand that getting him desexed won't stop the behaviour straight away , but by doing that at least this won't happen again in the near future!! I'm a bit apprehensive to try crating him as being so large, and so used to having ALOT of space to run around in I'm worried this will stress him out even more I might try the vicks vapour rub and keep a close eye on him at all times to ensure he is not attempting escaping - our yard is pretty escape proof but you never know..considering he is a very keen digger hehe ;)!! I just hope the female comes off her cycle soon! Thanks again!

Hey everyone :) I have a 3 year old alaskan malamute called Mello, who is a gorgeous boy and normally a really well behaved dog..But lately, probably the last week or so he has been acting crazy! Barking and whining constantly, hasn't been eating much, when inside he just stares out the window..and the other day he actually barged through the fly wire front door, ripping a hole in the flywire and started to run away!(its an old door so no metal, just soft flywire so not much damage done to him thank god!) luckily when we called him he came back. He just seems really preoccupied.. the only reason for his behavior that I can come up with is that one of the dogs in the street is on heat! I have booked an appt with the vet next week to look into neutering him - which is something I probably should have done a long time ago! Do you think his behaviour sounds like there is a female on heat around our area? And is there anything I can do for him in the meantime before we go to the vets? He is just so stressed and it's really hard to see him like that.. poor boy Any advice would be appreciated! thanks, Breanna
