Jess - I don't feel this is an exercise/bored issue. My Rotty re0directs on to her dog bed in her Kennel run. I've see this AFTER biking her or swimming whjen I know she's exhausted. Until the dog feel the stimulous is a non-threat the behavior will continue. A freind happen to see my dog flinging her 4'x4' dog bed around like it was a sock as he approached the house. I thought ihis comment was point on and a little funny. He sais, "She looked a me as she flung the bed like she was trying to tell me...This bed...this is YOU!!!". LOL I only correct for this behavior if people are on the street in front of the house. Once they get on my property I don't have a problem with my dogs demonstation.
