  • You shouldn't ask for advice for something like this on a forum. Get your dog a muzzle and take him to the vets. It could be anything, your post isn't particularly informative, and regardless, you need to take him to the vets.

    Muzzle train him, maybe see if your vet will do some desensitization work, but I agree with a vet visit. Nibbling near the tail area can be a sign of anal gland problems but also other things too so impossible to say over the internet.
