head bobbing

[Darren Charman]

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone could help me with a question I have regarding my beautifull little 18 week old beagle bitch.she seems to head bob every now and then,it normally happens a few times a day and does not seem to cause her any distress and she is a very happy little pooch. Now its not like a seizure that she has because her head only moves up and down not left or right and its not violent movements either, if I see her doing it and click my fingers then she will stop but then continue for a minute or so after unless I continue to make a fuss of her. I have read up on it but can not find anything that describes this fully. She is fit and healthy in every other way apart from her poop eating habit (eww) lol. I give her vits with her meals and the food she has is all natural. It is a bit unnerving seeing her do it and don't know what the cause could be or what can be done to stop it. Any answers would be very helpful thanks. :-)

i think mine does the same thing....the head slowly lowers down like shes dozing off?? Mine seems like he does exactly what humans do when they are tired or in a boring meeting...eyes close slowly as the head lowers forward
