It's been my experience that the dog may have ear mites. Most dogs do and that causes the inner ear to itch. It's their way of scratching it. You can go to Walmart, K-Mart or a pet store and get ear mite treatments for the dog in the pet section. It's not too expensive either and shoud be considered a regular part of doggie's maintainance. --------------- I have two Chihuahuas, and they flap their ears (loudly!) many times a day, even though their ears are healthy. They do it especially upon awakening....it seems they are shaking themselves into consciousness. When one dog does the ear flap, it seems to trigger a sympathetic ear flap response in the other. Two chihuahuas flapping away early in the morning can create quite a ruckus that will waken everyone within "ear"shot! If anyone has an explanation as to what evolutionary benefit ear-flapping would convey, please email me at biz@michaelhanko.com. (Also to let me know if other breeds engage in this behavior.) -------------- My Toy Poodle is the same as your chihuahuas :-) Plus - when I tell her to do something she does not quite approve of - (I dont mean a command such as sit but more a request to go out of the kitchen - she does a LOUD ear flap to announce her annoyance - It seems to be a way of shedding annoyances - even the waking up annoyances in the morning :-)
