    Help, my dog keeps chasing her tail and its bleeding. Shes been doing it for years. We. thought she would stop later when she wasnt a puppy, but at 5+ years old she still does it. She bit almost all her hair of it.

      See if you can attach something to his tail.. If not maybe you need to do what I dread, and that's having his tail removed
      I am 100% sure some dogs don't realise their tail is part of them and think it's separate thing

    i have a neighbour who puts her 'neglected' dog outside and it chases its tail and barks CONTINUOUSLY for hours on end, day after day. Is this dog insane? Should I report it as animal neglect/cruelty. I mean, it's literally hours and hours at a time and is driving me and other neighbours nuts.

    Thank you. Gish I'd like to be kept by a pet however, I don't plan to be kept for long. All good cats and dogs must be fostered to no kill shelters or I get grouchy at them for holding me. Its a point to point goal.

    My 2 year old German Shepherd does this every single day for 20-30 minutes multiple times a day. Even when he’s panting very very hard he’ll still do it. It’s so annoying because he’s so loud when he does it and the banging on the floor. Even if I run with him for an hour outside, we’ll come back up and the first thing he does is chase his tail. I can’t stand it anymore.

  • @DonyayVaarooneh

    Because some dogs don't recognise their tail as their tail... They think their tail is a thing...
    My dog barks at his tail telling his tail off thinking his tail wants to share his bone

    My Chihuahua has been doing it super aggressively for almost 2 years (every single freaking day!). It sounds like a massive dog fight. His tail is always bloody (sometimes his bed gets all bloody too! Not even a cone helps. He is clearly scared after doing it. Gets very aggressive towards us too. Took to different vets and behavior specialists. Tried tiring him out, foundation training, different medications, special dog food that helps with cognitive issues, creating routines! Nothing works. I'm afraid we're gonna have to put him down =(

    • @SharonBrown-dm4jp

      do what you feel is right for him. if that means putting him down, then so be it. no one wants to lose a pet, but we also don't want our pets to suffer.

    My Chihuahua chases his tail but when he catches it gets happy and tries to run like he has a stick in his mouth which of course don't work.
    Then he tries again.
    I cheer him on and when he gets it praise him.
    It's damn funny.

    I think it's black and white and you did say it but your beating around the Bush
    If a dog excessively chases it's own tail and bites ect it is becauss they are not walked and are bored sh*tles un-cared or unloved/ neglected These dogs are depressed. Show t he more attention and take them out regularly. My dog has never chased his tail.
