You can put an ecollar on Sophi to stop the behavior. You can make one at home, or get one at a pet store. I would have her seen by a vet for this issues as well. It's clearly bothering her, and she could have a problem with her anal sacs. Best of luck. http://dogsaholic.com/care/homemade-dog-cone.html
