You are scratching a nerve ending that make them twitch.

A nerve you are scratching, or it is in a place your pet can not reach and when you scratch it for him, natural instincts act up and he starts scratching the object he CAN reach. That's what my 17 pound kitty does when I scratch his back right by his tail.

It is like, when you have and itch that you can't scratch, it feels soooo good that when someone gets it for you, you just have to let yourself go. The nerves that the dogs have are hypersensitive, so you are stimulating the movement as if they are doing it themselves. They just LOVE it! My German Shepard used to do it alot.

You hit a nerve.....just like most of us.....when our feet are tickled, it feels sooooo good, but tickles.

It feels good enough that they think they are scratting themselves instead of someone else doing for them.
