I recently read on here of a member who wrote a thread regarding their bully scratching and kicking the ground after going poop, and someone saying that dogs due it to show dominance. My two guys Bulldozer and Blossom are two years old and never did this until this spring. They, didn't do it last year or over the winter, and then recently when we started getting milder weather and the grass is showing, they started kicking their poop after going potty on the grass. I thought it was because they had grass to poop on and not the ice and snow, or maybe because we moved, and we are in a new neighbourhood, and they are trying to mark their territory. The old house was their first home and the only home they lived in since puppies, and their weren't any other dogs on our lawns. After reading that they do this to show Dominance, I still wonder if its because its a new neighbourhood, or is it because they are older, and are now starting to show Dominance? Blossom has always been more dominate and the boss of Dozer, who is much more laid back, and basically lets his sister be the boss, he doesn't care, but he is also kicking his poop after he goes, so I'm confused.
He's too cute. 
and his back paws land in it
