Issues with rigging....I think.

If you post your file(or PM me the file), I'm happy to take a look.

Oh, a common problem also if the “Head” and “Neck” tags are too close to each other. Give them a bit of distance as the neck expands and contracts a bit.

What can be useful is in the mesh mode in the scene view while walking, it should show the points that are being stretched so badly. That can help identify the handles that are being dragged.

In a nutshell, walking is CH moving multiple handles for you (instead of you using the dragger). If it moves the wrong handles (e.g. thinks the ears are a foot) then you get “interesting” behaviors like this. So the idea is to identify which layers have the wrong tags.

Including the puppet rigging heirarchy can be useful. But what I would suggest doing is clicking each layer one by one and checking the tags on each layer - are there any unexpected ones? That can cause lots of hair pulling out otherwise. Just expand all the layers in the rigging hierarchy, select them one by one, and look at the tags. (I prefer the text view of tag names - when you click the “A” icon - I find them easier to spot that way than the default graphics view.)
