What does it mean?? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

This behavior is a carry over from their wolf ancestors. In the wild they cover their feces and the feces of their pups so preditors don't pick up the scent. Today's dogs don't even know why they do it, it's just instinct.

Pixie does that all the time when she wants something or she is mad about something. We call it her Moon Walk. It is so funny.

My Lillie does it everytime she goes potty outside. She also does it when she wants something. Lately I have been cling it the Chicken Dance and she gas learned it and now does it on command.

MissSophie · 03-01-2008, 07:49 PM

We call it the Poop Dance!

LOL! I would love to see her chicken dance. Can you get her on video doing it?
AprilLove doesn't do it on command, she just does it when she is COMMANDING LOL!!

I had a dog, Spitz many years ago that does it. He does it after poo-ing. I asked my aunty who had dogs for many years and she said they are trying to dig the sand/earth to bury the poop. Not sure if its true or not.

My Bailey does it all the time! Just like AprilLove If her sister or Bella has something she wants, she'll bark at the air and kick her legs! And if she's getting hyped up about something, like when we take the iguana to the bathtub while her cage is being cleaned, Bailey will kick her back legs and bark because she wants after her... I think its the cutest thing ever!

Ok I have to tell you this made me laugh so hard. I love it when they do it.

Zoey does the same thing a well after pooping. Never seen her legs bothering her..she is just trying to cover up something.

Oh that video is so cute! He sure makes it known he wants to play. And your other baby is so passive.
Hee hee, that made me giggle. so cute! Thanks for sharing!

Shelby&Seymour · 03-02-2008, 04:45 AM

Shelby does it after she goes potty..... and she is usually saying "I feel good... I REALLY feel good."

When Seymour does it after he goes potty .... HE is usually saying "Look at me Big Sissy, I went potty.... Look at MEEEEeeeeeee!"

sammybear · 03-02-2008, 05:28 AM

Samson does the same thing when he wants something. Before he could jump down from the sofa he would do this to let us know that he wanted down. When he's at the top of the steps (he's still scared to come down stairs) and wants to come down he does that. It's so cute! We started to call him Bulldog LOL

Hi

I dont think there is anything to worry about Lee Roy does it when he has done his "business", before he sleeps he makes his bed the same way, as well as just before the "games" begin with his friends...!
It is very cute.. I love it when he does it!!

littlewhip · 03-02-2008, 05:39 AM

LOL My karleigh does that, I think its so funny, She reminds me of a bull getting ready for take off

magsy17 · 03-02-2008, 06:38 AM
