Tail Chasing

[mnwscar]

I have noticed that my puppy chases her tail a LOT. It seems to be getting worse. If I notice her doing it, I will say "no" in just a regular voice, and she'll stop for a while. But she starts back within a few minutes. I don't know what to do to get her to stop. Has anyone else had this problem?

How much exercise is she getting? I know some dogs will chase their tails when they're bored. Try redirecting her to a game of fetch or something that requires her to think a little when you notice her spinning.

She does tend to do it more after a walk when she's all hyped up from exercise. We go for two 40 minute walks a day and play a lot indoors as well. She has a very short attention span though, so she looses interest in just about anything within a few minutes. The only thing that she manages to do for more than a few minutes before getting bored is chasing her tail and putting her back foot in her mouth.

My puppy does this also when he is excited. I call his tail "his best friend" because he is always chasing it LOL. Its usually after we play a lot.
Good luck
