You Asked: ‘Why Is My Dog Doing THAT?’

When He Chases His Own Tail

We’ve all seen this a hundred times – your pup will spend hours trying to grab the back of his tail. While it may look like he’s just having a little bit of fun and blowing off some energy, it might actually be a cause for more concern.

Chasing a tail stems from a high predatory drive without an ability to ‘override’ the instinct to hunt for something. In fact, this can even lead to anxious or obsessive mood swings, so you might want to visit a vet if your pup does it too often.
