Almost all of my yorkies do this after #1 and number #2 both male and female. What I've read it really has little to do with them going potty,they have scent glands in their paws and thats why they are kickin it up like that.I will have 6 of them tearin it up in their fenced in area needless to say by the end of summer the grass is pretty trashed back there.

Crosley kicks up her feet, it's not a donkey kick, but like a shuffling of her feet after she goes.
Wrigley kind of kicks all her feet when she wants us to get up and serve her! We call it her little "temper tantrum." We also call it her "royal highness" moments!

I don't know guys..My little guy always comes running to us from the bathroom after doing number two with a huge smile and does what we call the "dookie Dance"..lol..He keeps wiping his feet until we go and see what he did and than we give him a treat...He only does it when Its me and my husband..If someone is around he usually won't do it and if he goes to his daycare place when we go away he doesn't do it there...I have no clue, but it always puts a smile on our faces!!
