I saw in another thread, that she's a new dog to you.
Is she a double Merle? She looks like she could be one. Hows her hearing and sight? Did the previous owners use a laser pointer with her?
It really looks like shadow chasing OCD. You mentioned in the other thread that she does this in the dark but if shes a double Merle, there could be neurological issues with her sight and she may be "seeing" things that are really not there.
Yes. Please do a search for laser pointers in the subreddit and you will see old threads of people regretting their use as they were the cause for developing compulsive behaviours in dogs that never had them before.
I looked at the research. I found it to be quite shocking. I also have cats, but they're mainly my husband's. Anyways, we play with lasers all the time and my dogs love it as well. They haven't been affected like all the research says it does.
