Why does my dog scratch the ground after peeing?
Dogs
of both sexes commonly
scratch
or scrape the
ground
with their hind paws immediately
after
defecating. Some
dogs
also perform this action
after
urinating. This is a normal behavior -- it's your dog's way of leaving a scent and visual message to other hounds that might pass by later.
