Funny behaviour

[brem]

Yoshi started this lately.

In the morning, when he pees / poops, he climbs back up the stairs and before getting back in the house, he rubs his back paws a couple of times, as he would clean them, or bury something...

He just started to do it. Weird that this behaviour is innate and not acquired!

i think he's marking his terotroy with the smell made from the swet glands in his paws

Too cute

I thought i read that dogs sort of scrape their feet after they 'go' to spread their scent around? Tink started this at about 14 weeks old, it looks so funny!

Yoshi just started a few weeks ago, at 8 months... he's fixed since he's 6 mo olds...

Arent they funny little creatures......some of the weird things they do?
Chili has lately been grabbing a mouthful of food at mealtime, and running like a banshee to hide it somewhere. To snack on later I figured.
Then, just out of the blue, he'll go get a hidden piece of kibble and come drop it at your feet. If I pick it up, he'll immediately go thru his tricks Ive taught him, without any prompting on my part.
Funny puppy wants to play.
