Kicking hind legs Our little guy has picked up a new habit. He's 9 months old, fixed, and has recently been going around the house kicking his hind legs, like he's covering up his feces. Sometimes he'll look at up and give a grunt and do it, other times he's by himself in a room and I'll see him doing it. Anyone have any idea's? Do you think it's a dominant thing, or marking his territory. I know he'll stand there and bark at us if he wants our attention to play with him. We're working on that by ignoring him. Thanks |

My 10 month old spayed female will kick back her hind legs a couple of times after she pees and poops outside. |
It is a dominant thing, but oh-so-cute!! They actually have scent glands on the bottom of their feetsies and spread their scent that way- marking their territory. I love it when they do it! I just die laughing everytime (which is a lot!!). Guess we know who's boss in my house! |

Molly is 5 years old, and I've only seen her do this a couple of times inside, but she does it after she potties outside, everytime. It's so funny. She even has her cousin, Roxas, [a cocker spaniel], doing it too. lol. |

My Mayzie does this. She is pee pad trained but she goes out when Mo goes out (he is housebroken) while he is doing his business, Mayzie is kicking up her heels! It is soo cute. lol |
YES - outside, Roxy will do the "MOON WALK" after she pees :eek: |
Thanks for this information. Katie has been doing this since I got her. I thought she was playing. It seems like she does it mostly when she wants to get attention or gets mad at one of the other dogs. |

"Moon Walk" LMAO:D:D:D |
Buddy does this outside after he pees and poops. I have learned not to be too fast in picking up after him. He has kicked dirt down my blouce and in my mouth more than once. |
I'm not so sure its a dominance thing, they usually want to play when doing this. At least AprilLove does, LOL |
I read this somewhere but don't ask me where. I read that the dog is a den animal. They cover up their urine and feces as to not be traced. This is especially true when a mother has a litter. Also one of the reasons they eat their afterbirth, yuck!!! To hide scent from predators. So all you who have dog hind kickers, consider yourself a predator, lol |
Pocket is 4 months old and he does this when we are playing and he gets real excited. It is funny, I keep telling ok come on big boy! |
Sam does that too. |
