Hi
I have a five month old german sheperd, who has a problem with chasing shadows, his own and any other shadow that moves. At first we thought it was a cute puppy thing, but we can see its becomming a problem. Hes so obedient, and listens so well, but when he sees a shadow, he tunes up out to run after/watch it. Sometimes he gets so caught up with chasing his own shadow, that he runs into things pretty fast, and we're worried he might hurt himself. Basically, is this normal? And if not, how do we 'correct' it, because we're afriad he'll get hurt.
