Tip - 9 - Puppies
chasing their tails - Should you be concerned?
Even though it may look
like puppy has gone bonkers when he/she furiously chases its
own tail, this is fairly normal behaviour. It is usually seen
after the puppy has been separated from its littermates. Puppy
is just playing by itself, since there are no more littermates
to play with. The puppy probably doesn't yet realize that this
tail is its own. The puppy should grow out of this behaviour
as it grows up. Provided there is no discomfort in the activity,
there is little cause for concern.
If this behaviour bothers
you however, simply playing with it or exercising him/her, is
the perfect refocusing tool.
Remember you as
the pet owner are the puppy's favorite source of entertainment.
