Beau is Hypervigilant about Other Dogs

my dog is hypervigilant about other dogs
they do not have to growl or bark
do not have to be three dimensional

if a dog’s tail goes across the TV screen, Beau sees it
He will bark with his highest bark six to twelve times about it
As if that dog tail is going to kill us

if a dog barks on the big screen, it is on.
Beau has to triple bark to each one of those barks
proving he is the biggest and baddest in a room

I don’t even want to tell you what he does when he sees a mirror.
We have had to cover all of those.
