I do not think it's funny either. Angie has the tendency to "look at her back" when she is overly excited and/or bored. This can turn into spinning. When she is in the kennel, I put her with our male Lab, Billy-Bob, whom she loves. Also, I have loads of toys in that kennel. She goes on long runs too. And naturally she's in the house as often as possible, which helps. I think this is something familial or genetic as most things are. I sure hate that she does it, but I'm trying like the devil to give her reasons to stop. Penny in NC The Farm Dog It's not so funny when a dog dislocates his hip or bangs his tail so hard that it has to be amputated.

As did one of his distant aunts. One of his pups is developing those moves. I finally got it on video. Cracks me up. Thinking there may not be a cure!
