Hi everyone! We have our 10 month old bulldog, Chunk. We are fairly active in the mx life but Chunk doesn't seem to like dirtbikes so much. He's been exposed to them a few times & each time he gets real whiny, barks at the bikes as if to attack them & throws his body towards them. We always bring his room (aka a crate) & will put him in it whenever he gets too stimulated with the bikes, which he doesn't mind & just goes to sleep. We are going on a 3 day riding trip & would like him join since he is part of the family but are concerned about just making things worse for him. Not really sure if this is one of those situations where constant exposure would make things better. Thinking about talking to the vet for some calming meds as a last resort. We have tried a thundershirt but that doesn't seem to do anything. We have a 4mth old Bernese Mountain Dog & she has no issue with the dirtbikes & there are other bulldogs at the track that seem to be content. No anxiety issues or aggression issues with him in any other areas. Just seems to be the dirtbikes that send him over the edge. Any suggestions or words of advice would be greatly appreciated! Would like to be able to calm our handsome boy so he can enjoy family outings when dirtbikes are involved.
