Why does my dog do this..?

<span style="font-size:92">Okay, well I have a four year old female German Shepherd named Sheba. She loves to play with stuffed animals, and when she is playing alone, she likes to do the 'death grip' on her toys. She tightens her jaws around them and won't let go. She puts her two front paws on them and clings to it with her nails. She will do it for hours on end. When we say her name, she will look but not release. But when I grab it and say let go, she will. <br><br>I'm not sure if it means something..like releasing stress or something. But i'm just dying to know why she does it.<br>Does anyone else's dog do this..<br><br></span>

    It could possibly just be a way to occupy herself when she's bored. My dog only does that if she's got noth else to do while she's outside.<br><br>She'll grab a stuffy, fling it in the air, catch it, lie down with it, and do the same.<br><br>Unless I come out. Then she stops, looks at me, and dawdles around like she wasn't trying to murder any one of the toys I've given her. lmao xD

    My Irish Setter recently turned 6 and he still does that with his toys - except he'll "nurse" on it. If you watch his paws he'll be pushing on his toy stimulating what he'd do when he was just a pup trying to get milk from his mother. :3<br><br>It's super cute.
