From 2007, tail docking was banned in England and Wales, however certain dogs remained exempt, meaning they can still be docked legally. These exemptions make enforcing the tail docking law more difficult, it also makes things a little unclear for owners – just like the Dangerous Dogs Act.

Recent scientific research has used the highly popular video-sharing site, YouTube, to conduct a study on tail chasing (sometimes known as spinning) in dogs. Whilst most of us deem tail chasing as a relatively normal yet humorous behaviour, there are suggestions that there could be a relationship between tail chasing and neurological disorders.
