<p>I've noticed that my youngest sometimes runs with his nose to the ground outside...he's sort of famous at our house because of his really WILD frapping at least once a day. he has a route from one room to another and around a coffee table...the other 2 corgis just watch him, but they are older and less energetic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now these are dogs that get an hour walk ever day and have a fenced 4 acre area all to themselves...not neurotic or in need of exercise.</p>

<p>Jerry is definitely not neurotic, confused, or frustrated. The vet said he was likely locked in a kennel with his previous owner for up to 18 hours a day and this is his way of exercising. He really is happy doing it. He'll stop to play fetch or tug-of-war then run again. </p>

Maddie the female corgi of the house started doing this in our house, just not in circles... I thought she was being neurotic until I opened the cupboards to the whirlpool tub and found mouse evidence. We trapped 21 mice in a few days

<p>Butters runs circles around just about anything. Whether it be horses, me pushing the wheelbarrow or just running circles around the yard. I feel like its a way to exert pent up energy that they aren't sure what else to do with it. So, she's possibly herding imaginary cattle =)</p>

<p>A dog running circles like that is a neurosis. Confusion and frustration. They are uncertain what their role is, and don't have a clear cut job. Exercise them more along their breeding work..ie: lab-fetch with a ball, newfoundland-pulling a wagon with kids in it, corgi- anything that involves chasing something. Even fetch works well. </p>

<p>As far as your dog scooting its nose along the ground, over and over, I'm not sure. Seanna will do this in the snow, but only for a short time. She will chase moles doing that behavior too, but they are usually above ground. With a dogs acute hearing though, it'd be perfectly logical that she can hear them underground. If she doesn't seem stressed out doing it, then I wouldn't worry about it. Try playing fetch with her in the yard and see if it stops.</p> Tommy did something similar w…tag:mycorgi.com,2011-12-01:1150197:Comment:13900452011-12-01T22:34:10.405ZLaura and Tommy Jeffersonhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/LauraB
<p>Tommy did something similar where he would run back and forth in a straight line, very intent and nose to the ground. Literally he would do it all day if you would let him and could not be distracted from it. Eventually I got some balls for outdoors that he just loves so now as soon as we go out back he is looking for them to play with and he no longer does the running THANK GOODNESS.

<p>Aww, he's so cute! Congratulations on your new addition! As for the circles, it doesn't seem like he's distressed at all, but it's hard to tell something like that from the video. It certainly is pretty funny to see, though. :) I still laugh every time Ellie starts chasing her bunny nub.</p>
