Dog poop behavior: weird things dogs do

Dog poop is strange, but pooping dogs are even stranger. As we talked about in Dog Poop Personalities, you can ascertain a certain amount about a canine’s character just by watching him poop. Some dogs also exhibit odd behaviors or qualities while they poop, and that is today’s discussion.

When Niko was a young dog, he had the most peculiar pooping pattern. First he would stake out his spot, sniffing endlessly around the yard for the perfect place to defecate. He could tell when he was close because his back end would begin progressively squatting as he neared the area so that the dog poop plopped out at precisely the right location.

Once dog poop was imminent, Niko would start to spin. It’s possible he was using his legs for leverage in such a way that turned him all about, but more likely, he was just scattering his feces over a wider area. So off he spun, turning about in little circles while the clumps merrily exited his tail pipe. He took no care to avoid stepping in the extrusions; he was quite pleased if in fact at least one foot acquired a dog poop coating to track into the house.

Sirius, however, is very fastidious. As previously mentioned, he selects dog poop zones that are already established to keep his waste area to a minimum, and usually looks for privacy behind some natural barrier. Sometimes he squints, focusing his efforts entirely on squeezing out the dog poop. Nearly always during the actual act, he attempts to lift both hind feet off the ground, balancing precariously on his front paws for the best possible leverage. Often he wobbles back and forth between hind feet, before springing forth after completing the maneuver and racing back to me.

Both dogs would occasionally scratch ground with their back feet to cover the dog poop or mark their territory, though Sirius never did this until he saw Niko giving it a try. Now, with his obsession of privacy and desire to cover up his dog poop, he is careful to kick up grass and dirt at every opportunity, always with a silly grin.

What do your dogs do while pooping? Are there any barkers or exhibitionists out there? Comment and share your dog’s odd behavior with the world!
