For loop in for loop not executing right

I just wrote some code for a loading symbol that displays

Loading
Loading.
Loading..
Loading...

and then repeats this five times. My only problem is after it executes that loop once, it won't repeat. Here's my code:

import time
for x in range(5):
    for y in range(4):
        print("Loading"+"."*y,end='\r')
        time.sleep(1)

import time
for x in range(5):
    if x != 0:
        print("")
    for y in range(4):
        print("Loading" + "." * y, end='\r')
        time.sleep(1)

This will print Loading 5 times.

The problem is that your code is printing the line next line on existing line. To avoid this replace you code with this:-

import time
for x in range(5):
    for y in range(4):
        print("Loading"+"."*y,end='\r')
        time.sleep(1)
    print("\n")

Using a line break will print the code on the next line, not on the existing line. Thank you.

If you overwrite Loading... with Loading it will not erase the extra three dots. Try

print("Loading" + "." * y + "   ", end='\r')
