My Dog's "Butt Hop"
I have had a 2 yr old Ridgeback / Lab mix for about a month now.
He does the weirdest thing (at least I think), and wanted to see if anyone saw or had a dog who did this, and maybe why? I call it the Butt Hop. He gets into the sit position all by himself (usually with a piece of furniture to his back), yet his butt does not touch the ground (tail is on ground obvisouly), and he does a little rabbit / frog like hop but does not move forward just up and down, without the butt ever touching ground. He will do it a few times when he does it. I would think that his butt itched, but if that was the case he would rub it on the carpet/floor as he has before. He doesnt appear to be in pain, and seems to like it. |

My Dane does it, I've seen Dobies, Bostons, even Dachshunds sit this way. Sounds like he's scratching himself on the furniture behind him |
