My German Shepherd Won't Stop Chasing His Tail

from Leerburg Dog Training Podcast · host Ed Frawley

In this video, Ed Frawley reads and discusses an Ask Cindy Q and A that addresses a challenging and increasingly common issue in German Shepherd Dogs: obsessive tail chasing that may be developing into a compulsive behavior. The question comes from an owner of a young GSD whose tail chasing has escalated over the last six months to the point where changes in energy or environment trigger frantic spinning, vocalization, and difficulty responding to verbal commands. Despite a veterinary exam showing no physical cause, the behavior continues to worsen, leaving the owner unsure how to proceed.  | Links mentioned: How We Manage Dogs in Our Home: https://leerburg.com/managementdvd.htm | Basic Dog Obedience: https://leerburg.com/302.htm | Remote Collar for the Pet Owner: https://leerburg.com/ecollar-pet-owner.php
