Is it possible that my puppy is pretending to go potty to earn a treat?

I got a 8 week lab husky puppy on Saturday. I take her out every 2 hours, after every nap and meal to avoid any potential accidents. She’s picking up everything super quick and she already knows to go potty first thing when I take her out. She also knows to look to me for a treat the second she’s done.

It seems like a decent portion of the time, she doesn’t actually have to go, but she squats to pee anyways. Is this just her way of following the routine I’ve set, or is it possible that she’s trying to dupe me? I know it’s not get being constipated because she has separate spots for pooping and peeing and she only does it in the pee spot.

I’m curious because I don’t want to reward the wealthy thing. Should I reward her every time she squats, or actually goes?
