my dog is a 1 yr old gsd x kelpie, shes a lovely happy out going dog... but she sucks the corner of her blanket and whistles every evening, untill she falls asleep... any reason why? should i discourage it or leave her be?...

It's a self-comforting thing. She's maybe a little insecure or could have been removed from her mother too early as a pup, it wouldn't really bother me TBH, I would just ignore her or try and distract her, there's a lot worse things to be worrying about and other self-comfort by sucking the furniture

She might do it less as she settles in more with you, it will take time for her to feel properly secure and for you to really bond Just keep an eye on it and make sure she's not eating holes in the blanket (Henry has been known to do this!) As CC says, I wouldn't worry about it too much though

thankyou.. she was a chewer. i have now crate trained her, she sleeps in that over night, but through the day she has a normall bed, with lots of chew things. hide things and a bone... she only dose it in her normal bed, maybe its a winding down thing as she is quite hyper.. she settled really well, was like she had been here yrs... lovely little dog...
