i think it depends on a lot of things. dogs pee to mark their territory. which is why they'll want to mark outside, in homes where there is the scent of other dogs, even on other people (my friend's dog wanted to "mark" me!)! it comes along with sexual maturity. some dogs, even though they are neutered, will still mark, just out of habit, some will grow out of it, some will never get into the habit of it to begin with.
it's important to note that females can mark too. like the male, it's to assert dominance.
