Spread their scent.
Well, we all know that cats have a habit of burying
excrement, but the dogs are just the opposite.
Dogs kick up dirt after marking their territory to
spread their scent as far as possible, to show the other dogs that they
were there. Essentially, they are marking the territory.
Some dog owners may find this just plain annoying,
rude, or feel that it is an aggressive behavior. It can be considered
aggressive only in the way that your dog is doing so to mark his territory. You
can break the dog of this habit if you feel necessary by correcting him when he
does it, or not allowing him to kick the dirt after he finishes going poop. As
far as we can tell, it doesn't hurt anyone or anything, although your
lawn might feel differently.
