| Female Dogs Hiking???? i have two female yorkies that are BOTH in heat right now and I have noticed that they will not squat to pee at all. They hike JUST like a male dog and are peeing all over everything and constantly fighting so I am having to seperate them. Any suggestions on why they are doing this other than being in heat and if they will ever stop? |

| I'm sorry I can't offer any advice for you, but have you considered having them spayed? |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I know more than one yorkie female that lifts their leg to potty....and they are spayed. Ramsey just barely raises one leg up....it's not like the sideways hike...Reese attempts (he falls over. ) And no, don't expect them to stop doing it.

| I have a female going on 11 years old that lifts her leg when peeing. She was spayed around 6 mos. I think she does it to keep from getting herself all wet underneath, but, she also goes out in the back yard and marks all over. |

| The weird thing is that they did not ever do this before until just recently. They are 2 years old and 3 years old so I would think they would have started doing it before now? That's why I am wondering if it could be something to do with being territorial since they are both in heat. I also have a 6 month old female and I hope she doesn't start doing this too after seeing them do it. |

| Maggie hikes her little leg AND marks. I think it's pretty normal.. Please consider having your dogs spayed unless you're planning on breeding them..
