Thank you for adopting her

I have had a few puppy mill dogs that did this too. I think its just habit...they cant do anything else in their cage to get their energy/exercise out. Many zoo animals do the same...its very sad. Most of my mill dogs wont walk on a leash in the beginning either. The circling in my experience slowly gets better. Just keep working with her and she will continue to improve. I started doing puppy preschool with my fosters now when they are from a mill. I have found that has been the most helpful and in many ways their minds are like a brand new puppy because they havent seen or experienced anything outside their jail cell.

With lots of love and care I hope she will get better. So sad to watch that video but I truly understand why she does it. Bless you for taking her and with your love I think she will be fine.

Thank you all so much for your advice and comments.
Jenny is my friends 2nd puppy farm rescue dog but her first one didn't display the same circling problem.
I too adopted an ex breeding puppy farm girl 3 years ago, and although she has other problems, she doesn't circle, apart from just before toileting.
I will pass on all your advice, and if the vet check goes ok, we will have to assume that it's a result of being confined for so long, and hope that Jenny will eventually grow out of it.

Thank you all again..xx
