Bambi 's 3 and used to squat (he's neutered)....but few months ago, he started lifting his leg when he pees....even tho the pees at the right spot in the house on his wee pad, his pee would mark the wall next to the pad.....has anyone ever been able to make the dog not lift his leg????

Sorry, had to laugh!

I know it's a problem, but aren't they cute when they learn how to lift their leg?

I think Bambi is getting to be a big boy!

Have you tried putting the pad in a location without a wall next to it?

My two males lift their legs to pee and I honestly never tried to stop them. What I do is fill a liter-size (or larger)bottle with gravel and place it in the center of the wee wee pad and they lift their leg against that. You can also buy a little fire hydrant for the same purpose. I think PetSmart sells them.

Use duck tape and tape a pad to the wall, just an idea
