Crazy 5 minutes

[yaker28]

My 9 month old pup, Nobby, will for no reason go absolutley crazy for a 5 minute spell every now and again! He will just be laying there and for no reason just get up and start running around the house or garden at full pelt and then as quick as he sarted just go back to laying down or play with one of his toys.  He doesn't do any harm, but it seems odd as there is no real spark to it, ie we have been playing a game or something.  We walk him twice a day, once on his lead around the village and then off his lead in the evening across fields.  Does anyone elses cocker do this?  It can be quite amusing, but not sure what it's all about?  As mentioned, he doesn't get nasty, but it's almost like a switch has been flicked.

Yep, I think they all do it      A mad 5 (or more) minutes is perfectly normal - Coco still does it sometimes and does the wall of death round the garden    Even my cats used to do it when they were younger

I'm glad that it's the norm.  I know that animals have strange behaviour and was kinda thinking it was just that.  At first we were wondering what on earth he was doing, but now we just leave him and he settles down.

Jerry definitely does this!     and it is generally at around the same kind of time each day aswell! Although its more like a mad half hour then 5 mins!!

Chester has his mad half-hour normally just about lunch time, after his walk. Definately the norm.

Fern still does a ten minute wall of death, usually just before her dinner. She's 9 years old in June  . It's a cocker thing  .

[ludo]

  yep we have that here as well - usually in the evening!

Eric does this whenever he gets in from a walk and then sometimes just because he feels like it.
I don't think it's just cockers because our Staffie used to do it and so did our great dane.
It's just dogs in general there all nuts, but probably not as nuts as cocker's

Quincy still does this up and down the lounge! quite amusing to watch and would be actually quite impossible if not very noisy if i had wood flooring ! very amusing to watch though bless im

[Gunner]

Gunner has his Mad half hour after his evening meal thank doG the kids are in bed aswell 

[Tiggs]

We take Ollie out for walks two or three times a day to try and wear him out. He isn't on the lead most of the time so he is running up and down all the time. Unfortunately this has the opposite effect and he goes mad for at least half an hour or more afterwards, but then crashes out. OH reckons the Devil waits for him around the corner.

[Sheryl]

Kali has mad half hours which involve running round the coffee table almost on 2 legs she is that fast, running into the garden and then back again, through the lounge and into the kitchen and also doing the wall of death round the tops of the settees

[The Woolys]

It's perfectly normal, we have it every day too, we just think its funny, Freddy doesn't know what we are laughing at!!

You should see him when he's had a bath, its a mad 5 minutes, ten times as fast!!

[Vino tinto !]

My Tilly usually do's her mad five minutes on my bed in the morning !! Tearing up and down the bed,off and around the lounge (we live in a bungalow ) into the kitchen back through the lounge,and onto the bed again !! Sad thing is, I am usually in the bed at the time !!!  But you have to love 'em don't
 you !!!
