its actually a physocilogical problem! it happens cuz no barriers r put up telling ur dog not to do this! i would strongly recommend breaking this habit! when ever ur dog goes to bite/chase his/her tail make a loud "shh" noise and take two fingers and kinda of tap the dog on the base of its neck! repeat each time the dog does this! now this is gunna take a long time to break this habit but its all for the well being of ur dog! hope this helps! good luck!=)

I think every once in a while they notice it out of the corner of their eye and they think it's another animal. They don't have the ability to reason that the tail they see is their own. It's either that or they have an itch back there that they can't reach.

A smart dog! I see a;ny dog who chases their tails as being brilliant! They can occupy themselves! As long as he doesn't have a sin disease, let him do it

The dog is either bored or neurotic.

It's just a temptation that they constantly try to conquer because it like teases them, but they can't seem to succeed.

I once heard that they do it out of boredom...maybe buy your dog new toys.
