Okay, so I don't know if I'd call it a straight up split personality. But that's what it feels like. I have an eight month old neutered greyhound/lab cross who I've had since he was two months old. He's a very good dog; he was house trained early and learned to sit, shake and lie down early...

My dog has a habit of barking and growling and lunging at anything with wheels that is moving, including push chairs, cars, bicycles, skateboards, etc; and also people who are running or moving fast. And just today (the reason I've joined this forum), we were in a cafe, and for the first time...

My dog has been acting very strange lately. This morning I woke up and he was just standing in the closet staring at the wall like he is guilty.
