Why do dogs chase there own tails, and lift one leg when laying on there back ?
hypatia said:Some one use to have a quote on here that said, "If you chase your tail fast enough, you will alter time in such a manner as to go back to the origins of life."
I suspect its a time machine. Dogs are so much smarter then us.
Ever seen yer dog chase his tail in a circle?
Why, if he ever caught it, that'd be a mircle!
But don't let folks think he's a stupid pup,
Jes' tell 'em he's a "watch-dog" windin' up.

Dogs may chase their own tails for a variety of reasons, including boredom, curiosity, or a lack of mental stimulation. Some breeds are also more prone to tail chasing behavior, such as high-energy breeds like terriers.
In most cases, tail chasing is a normal behavior for dogs. It can be a form of play or self-entertainment, similar to how humans might twirl their hair or fidget with their hands. However, if the behavior becomes excessive or is accompanied by other concerning behaviors, it may be a sign of a larger issue and should be discussed with a veterinarian.
In most cases, tail chasing is harmless for dogs. However, if the behavior becomes excessive, it can lead to injuries such as skin irritation or trauma to the tail. It may also be a sign of underlying physical or psychological issues that should be addressed by a veterinarian.
If the behavior is concerning or causing harm to your dog, it's important to consult with a professional trainer or behaviorist to develop a plan to address the behavior. This may involve providing more mental and physical stimulation for your dog, redirecting their attention to other activities, or addressing any underlying medical issues.
If your dog's tail chasing is accompanied by other concerning behaviors, such as excessive barking, anxiety, or aggression, it may be a sign of a larger issue. It's important to consult with a veterinarian to rule out any underlying medical conditions or a professional trainer or behaviorist to address any underlying behavioral issues.
