    One of my yorkies does it when he gets a pain. He has severe liver damage so every now and again he gets cramps and starts walking around the kitchen backwards.

    Also, I have a German Shephard with Hip Dysplasia and when she is in pain she walks backwards aswell.

    Maybe its something to do with pain relief.

    God I hope not!

    My little fella does it when he is angry that i'm not giving him all my attention. Then he starts barking at me. He stops when I throw him a treat or start playing with him.

    But the poor little fella might be trying to tell me he is in pain. Trip to the vet for me and my pooch ...

    Baffled you must have a really hard time with two of your dogs in pain. It's heartbreaking to see them like that. You feel totally helpless.

    Yea it can be tough at times. When I see him doin it I just rub his belly for a while. Theres only so much medication can do.

    As for the German Shepherd, I take her swimmin every second evening to help her hips.

    Your dog may not be in pain though. Some dogs develop strange habits.

    Hmm...ihope my dogg isnt in pain, but i tdont think so.
    He mostlly does it when he's standing a few passes in the uttlility and you make him walk into the kitchen so i can get by or trough the hall which i narrow and maybe he just doesnt feel like turning or something
