My dog will turn 2 in December. It is been 2 days now after he defecates he kicks grass, he never did that before. Is that normal and why he is starting to do this. Thanks

Thanks recent Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. This is a somewhat common behavior in dogs. It is not known why they do this. However, this is a behavior that he will most likely grow out of. I would not be concerned about this. Good luck!
