I have a german shepherd mix, 3yo female. She's well socialised but a rough player. Often when she plays with other dogs she does this behaviour where she chases the other dog and then mouths the back of their neck when she catches up with them. I don't think its aggressive but very drivey behaviour and other dogs usually hate it, some just stop running immediately and some react angrily to it. A trainer told me it's called "tagging" and its common in german shepherds and some herding breeds. Is this a real thing?
