It's not so bad.

Thor squats on his pad, but he likes lifting his leg on walks, and while he's not maniacal about it, he does lift his leg when he's decided to pee indoors on a wall.
In general, if you neuter a dog early enough, he will not lift his leg. It's not a hard and fast rule though, and it's not that uncommon for female dogs to lift their legs, particularly if they are not altered.
