Default Strange pooping question

Is this normal? After she is done her tail bobs up and down 3-4 times...if you can imagine an old-fashioned water pump.

I don't remember my childhood dog ever doing this. Is this a typical behavior?

Both of my dogs do this. I think it's very normal.

Seems normal to me as long as sometimes coming out after or before that....not like she's straining to poop like shes constipated...might also be expressing her glands when shes doing this.

LOL! Both of my girls do this. I think it's completely normal. Cricket does it at the end of her poo, but Clover does it pretty much the whole time.

My poodle doesn't do this, but my golden did it all the time. Just pinching it off!

I also think that is the reason. Rectal muscles work harder at the end to "clean"
off the rectum and stop defecation and tail movement is just side-effect of movement of those muscles .

I've seen Vegas do this a couple times! And my friends three female standards always quiver their tails when they pee, too!
