Why Does My Dog... Walk in Circles Before Lying Down?

"You’ve seen it before: Your dog looks for a place to curl up then starts turning in circles — and even scratching or digging at bedding or carpeting — before finally lying down. So what’s up with this odd sleeping habit? In this video, Dr. Sarah Wooten explains why this curious behavior probably has to do with your canine’s ancestry and when this behavior should be cause for concern."

My dog ran around in circles because he didn't know who owned that tail he was chasing. It was as if that tail knew his every move.

perhaps you're highly susceptible to 'peer pressure'. it happens in many social circles. akin to why most women follow the same fashions.

so in the den, of your home, while it's just you and the dog, you're finding yourself circling while the dog finds itself losing and searching for the remote often.

good luck with learning the 'new' grooming habits. am envious if you succeed.
