I have 4 dogs which are chihuahuas and 1 of them stands up like a meerkat does. Can anyone tell me why it does that?

My two cats do it too, (and have a play war dance like the MeerKats). I think they do it (and climb on things) to get a better view.

my dog used to do that every time it was treat time its to tell you she/he loves you because you treat her/him well without cruelty, my dog used to count like carol vodermann she could add up and take away i never taught her this she just knew how many chocolate dog buttons were in my hand and she never saw them to know.
