First, I would put her on an allergy food anyway, just in case. Make sure its a good food with adequate protein, no grocery store brands. Go to a good feed store and ask for a quallity food, or get one online shipped to you. Second, are you crating your dog for long periods or leaving your dog alone for long periods? It could be a little separation anxiety and nervous behavior. Better food will help that some. Otherwise, I would get an elizabethian collar and make her wear it until she forgets that behavior. It could just be a bad habit she needs to break. The longer she does it, the more of a habit it will become and the harder it will be to break. you could also stop her by putting her in a baby onsie with a hole cut out for the tail. Those are the baby t shirts that have the snap crotch.
