Yes, dogs find lots of creative ways to do their business.
We have a JRT mix who also lifts his leg to poo sometimes. Our male yorkie mix approaches his target, sniffs, gets into position next to the target, and then lifts the OPPOSITE leg and tinkles. Our current male yorkie still squats to pee, even though he's over 2 years old now.
We also had a female Yorkie who did a little handstand when she tinkled. I think she was trying to reach higher so she could mark over places that bigger dogs had marked.
Now that I write this down, seems that all of our dogs do something strange. But I guess it goes to show that they don't learn these funny habits from each other. |
