Was sent this in an email. Thought I would share.


The Canine Cognition and Behavior lab is conducting a survey on the
highly repetitive, stereotypic, behavior some dogs perform. We are interested
in some of the reasons why dogs may engage in this repetitive behavior. If
you have a dog that engages in stereotypic behavior we would like to hear
from you. Please follow the link below to our survey:

You mean like those Border Collies that spin circles when cars drive by?

Or the GSD's who spin in their crates, ESS's who stare at a spot on the wall for no reason, dog's who lick people incessantly....

Thanks, I filled one out for my Malinois and passed on to other malinois owners. I'm sure they will get a lot of responses! I know my Mali has a lot of compulsive, repetitive behaviors.

Hmmm...Jayda is a crate spinner, and Neelah is a crate licker.

Looking over the 150+ pictures that Doug took at a seminar last year, almost all of the ones that have my crates in them, you can see Neelah's tongue!

Jayda spins in her crate when over-excited...which is about 35% of her day!

Neelah just needs work! LOL Get out there and train those girls!

I KNOW, I KNOW!!!!! Neelah usually does it when I'm working with Jayda - or Jayda is out of the crate and we're watching TV.

Jayda, on the other hand, spins the most when she's awake <LOL>!!!!
