Puppy poos while standing on hind legs

19 10:38:46

Question
My puppy has been attempting to poo while standing on her hind legs (leaning against the grilles of the crate). Why is this so?  

Answer
Shannon-

She may just be doing it for leverage (Honestly, I have seen dogs do that) or because it is her own little quirk! If her poos are nice and normal, I wouldn't be concerned.

If she is turned so that her rump is against the crate, she is most likely trying to poop in a "safe" place, and not in her sleeping corners.

Congrats on your puppy!
