Is nipping legs when chasing a problem?
My Husky mix is a fast runner and likes to chase other dogs in the dog park.
He only chases once they have started running and when they stop he stands around looking at them or wanders off if they don't start running again.
However, when chasing, it occasionally looks like he is nipping at their back legs. Some people said it is prey drive, others said herding instinct and others said he wants them to run faster.
The fact that he only sniffs once the run stops makes me believe he isn't being aggressive or anything. However, I just watched a video with a feral looking husky mix and the trainer saying it should be corrected for similar behavior.
There is no way I can get close to him running at these speeds though and he only ever does it in a dog park so I can't catch it elsewhere.
What do you think? Does it matter?
