Hi all this is my first post! Actually signed up to post it! (And from looking around I know I came to the right place!)
* OK so my bf's shepherd, Shane, non obsessive in all other ways, chases his tail at least once a week and no matter what methods of distraction we try he goes right back to doing it the moment we sit down, thinking we had gotten him to forget!
We command him to leave it, we restrain him, we tell him to lay down, we do a full training session (which he participates in with full attention), we play with him - none of it stops him from going right back to it!
This isn't a new habit, but we thought for sure he would grow out of it
Please, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
Sherman's Ma, Tina
