We went to the swings and I sat one one and when it moved the chain squeaked from above. Reesee looked a little off, looking at the swing funny so I got up and when it moved back to us gently, she attacked it in a flash. She is not an aggressive dog AT ALL so it was really surprising seeing her burst into a full on 'dog-fight' with a swing! Her hackles were up and everything, and she was snarling so loud and biting and ripping that swing seat like it needed to die. The brief moment she let go and went to walk away it was moving and when it swing back in her direction she whipped around and went full on again. Needless to say she didn't get to visit the swings again. Later I will try and get her settled in it's presence but it was extremely hot that day and I saved the extra stress for later. Anyone's dog ever showed aggression like this to something so strange?

I have a lot of work ahead of me! He usually avoids things he's scared of, though. Attacking a swing is a new one! I can't help but feel bad for the dog when they are so afraid of something though. (I live with a bunch of rescues, though, poor things)
