Help answer this question below.
As a couple here suggested it is a territorial marking behavior!
While dogs PANT to cool down...the only place on a dog that DOES sweat is the pad area of their feet.
So, when they scrape their feet against the ground, grass or sometimes even a carpet...they are attempting to leave a bit of their scent behind..."this space is MINE!" or...a simple..."I was here!"
Either way, it's just part of their personal "calling card!"
If you were going to open a restaurant, what would you name it?

My one year old male pom pees on his bed! I've washed it and tried leaving it out for him and he just did it again. What's wrong with him?

You're reading After my dog has done his business outside, he scratches his feet across the floor in the house and flicks mud and grass everywhere. Why does he do this?
