Terrier Eating His Tail

[neil cooney 10,415]

Has the dog got other things to distract him Shane like bones to chew or a bit mooching a few times a week ?

It could be just something similar to a person who bites their nails. At this stage you can dismiss anything like a parasite or an ailment so it's probably in his head.

Some terriers chew their kennels, some dig holes and some bark non stop. Yours is eating his tail.

Sometimes highly strung head wreckers can be hard to live with but they also be very good workers.

There's a fine line between genius and madness.

He's not chewing his tail he's eating it mixedgrill. I've tried bones he's out plenty even after a dignore he does it. It's a mental disorder that's all I can put it down to

Sounds like a nutcase. How about keeping a muzzle on him until he breaks the habit or smear something spicy in his tail?

No, she used to threaten to kill me. That didn't work either.
