I have a maltese-poodle mix dog which I feed dry dog food to, in a bowl that sits in the kitchen. When he gets hungry he will go and grab a few pieces, carry them to the carpet and then roll over them and rub them into the carpet with his body several times. After that, then he'll eat them and repeat sometimes.
He's about 2 years old now and has been doing this awhile now, its really funny to watch but my family would also like to know why he may doing this.

It's not some freak accourance. My little sister owns a maltese and whenever I go to visit she takes whatever scraps we give her and brings it into the living room. She even has at times picked up her food and water dish and brought it in there with her.
The fact may just be that the room is his favorite, he may have marked his teritory and feels that this is the best place to eat. As for rubbing it all over his body, I have no idea but it sounds cute :-)

Service puppies are most often very quiet except they're alerting. What is your definition of barking "often" and "plenty"? Is this taking place everyday for hours at a time, or is it much less widespread than that and just for a minute or 2? Short bursts of barking, although they arise day-to-day, probably clinical indicators. If the puppy's barking is unrelated to the efficiency of its carrier position, the landlord demands to do some thing to quit this habits. Prolonged or widespread barking is a habits predicament that demands to be corrected by way of right coaching. If barking is so disruptive that it's unreasonable for the puppy to stick, then the condominium problematic may have the puppy eliminated if the landlord does no longer take right steps to manage the barking. BTW, there's no uniform certification for carrier puppies, so there's no assurance that the girl could have an ID card or some other unique style of certification. Not having ID from a application does no longer imply that the puppy isn't reputable. Owner-informed puppies are flawlessly authorized, however to qualify as such and preserve improved entry rights, they nonetheless ought to be challenge-informed to mitigate their handler's incapacity, secure, sanitary, and no longer unreasonably disruptive.

Try placing a blanket or towel on the floor...bet he will bury it and finish eating it all after a few minutes. Obviously he is a very happy little dog, the food makes him feel good and he probably is trying to bury it, for a while anyway.

Common trait in many dogs. Ours like to take theirs in to their favorite chair before they eat it. And if we give meat to ours, my smallest Jack russell takes it to my bed to eat it and the blue heeler takes it in the living room and plays with it for a while before eating it. .
