how do you get a dog to stop chasing its tail?

Answer 1

Get him some toys and play with him. It's fun to play with your dog. She needs to burn off some energy.

Answer 2

ha, you cut it off. jst kidding

you cant. its something they will have to out grow. sometimes they never do. they feel like there's something there that's not suppose to be so they try to catch it. have you ever noticed that once they catch it, they go about their business? try it one day, help your dog catch it's tail. then when he catches, he'll bite down a bit and then release it.

but if you really want him to stop. sprinkle some cayanne pepper on his tail, that way when he bites down, he'll get a taste of the spice and will never go for the tail again. cayanne pepper works wonders. you can jst about try anything spicy. NOT TO MUCH. YOU DONT WANT THEM TO HAVE DIAHRREA.
