This is a fairly common question , not only from German Shepherd owners, but from all dog owners:
Why does my German Shepherd Dog puppy chase her tail? I don’t understand why dogs love to chase their tails!

There are basically three reasons.

1 – They are playing. For dogs and puppies to chase their tails, especially puppies, it’s like babies sticking their big toe in their mouth :) They do it because it’s there.

2- The do it because they are itchy.

3- They do it (mostly adult dogs) because their anal glands are full. This is a medical condition that needs to be addressed IMMEDIATELY. Read the full article about this medical condition here

If your puppy is consistently chasing his tail…maybe it’s time to go for a nice long “forward moving” walk?
