 This is Mine
He is probably marking his territory, however if his urinating habits change, then that is a sign that maybe he has a problem, but just running from spot to spot peeing a drop or two is perfectly normal.
My three -- two females and a male will pee at least a dozen times when I take them out for thier afternoon walk. Down here on the farm we call it the "This is Mine" game. In the morning usually they pee just 'cause they need to, but during our walks, no twig, leaf, or weed is left unmarked. I have discovered with Peppy (unaltered male) that he controls the amount he uses -- two drops here, three there, Chattie is the same. In fact Chattie is a leg hiker, my sweet, precious little girl hikes her leg!
Think of marking as a dog's "No Trespassing, Violators Will Be Prosecuted" sign. |
