Neither of my chi's kick their feet after going potty but one of my girls walks while she poops. Does anybody else's dog do this? I have never seen a dog walk around while pooping.

Both my females do this. Princess, my eskie does nothing but mark territory when we walk. She is an Alpha female. Gigi will usually mark on top of hers. They both kick afterwards too. In order to get them into a real walk, which means no stopping, no smelling, I have to walk them in the middle of the street, and I keep the walk at a good brisk pace for a steady 30-45 minutes. It's great exercise for them, and me, and they usually sleep for a couple of hours afterwards.
I don't know about scent glands in their paws, I never heard about that. I did read once that by kicking, it spreads their scent from the pee or poop and defines more territory.
