Tail Chasing:In sight of a dog chasing its’ own tail in a circle is quit funny and i suppose if we had tails, then we would do the same. It starts out early like when a dog is still young, so a puppy and when it sees a little fluffy tail behind them, then perhaps they would like to chase after it. They do it because they have a need to chase something, or they have a tick or flea problem so they try to bite their tail to relieve some of the itchiness. But there are ways to prevent dogs from chasing their tails such as keeping them clean for fleas and ticks and making sure to groom their tails often.

Coprophagy:You may wonder why dogs eat their own feces, like why on Earth would they want to do that. There are several reasons as to why dogs do this, such as a litter of puppies and their mother. The mother would often eat the puppies feces so that they would not get tracked by other predators, it is also an old-age survival mechanism. They do it so that if predators try to track them by using their feces, the mother eats the feces to get rid of any evidence. If a dog is also not fed them it will eat feces as another food source out of desperation and try to find some other type of food source so, they turn to their own feces or other dogs and dig in.

Humping: While it is awkward for you to see a moment of your dog humping one another and you often wonder why that is taking place at such a young age or taking place at all, here are the answers. Humping can be triggered by sexual arousement or just a desire to mate but for dogs, it usually isn’t that simple.Often for dogs to evolve out of playing, dogs will hump as a stress release mechanism or do it to clarify his or her standing. Some dogs will get pushy and often use it as a way of controlling other dogs of while other dogs, just don't know any better. And finally humping can become a obsessive-compulsive behavior such as tail chasing or barking.

Reverse Sneezing:Your dog sucks in air,while making a snorting sound,or choking sound. Your dog is just reverse sneezing. Also known as ‘paroxysmal respiration’, it may sound awful but it really isn’t all that bad. It can usually be caused by irritant in the air, eating or drinking too fast, nasal infection, or even hair balls. To minimize reverse sneezing, tone down with the cleaners, chemicals, and other potential irritants that will cause reverse sneezes. During the reverse sneezes, you can try rubbing your dog's throat to at least try to ease the spasm.
