I have been a dog trainer for about 16 years now and see this behaviour countless time. Most commonly on shepherd typed dog. But some hunting dog do it too.

It's always linked to how focus the dog is something. It's also when you repeat multiple time the same command that you trigger this behaviour. Like they focus on it.




Yep, my Spaniel seems to do it every time I say words she doesn't know/understand.

Pardon you?


"It's always linked to how focus[ed] the dog is [or] something"

what was I instinctively read...


Same, I didn't even notice the mistake. Could also be interpreted as "how focused the dog is _on_ something".


You got it right !
