I'm afraid we would need quite a bit more information to be able to answer this question - circling can be normal behavior during play; a displacement behavior seen with excitement, overarousal, or frustration; a compulsive behavior; or due to a neurologic problem such as a brain tumor. Feel free to post another question with more details about his behavior (including when it tends to happen, whether Fozzie is aware of doing it or not, and whether he can be redirected to something else when he is circling), or request a one-on-one consultation with one of us if you prefer - we would be happy to try and help.
