Is he marking his territory? :confused: How can you tell the difference between actual pee pee versus a dog marking his territory? Sometimes when I walk Nikko around the block he will sniff where other dogs have left their puddles and he will force himself to pee there too. I say force because all that comes out is a little drop. Is this his way of marking his turf? He is 6 1/2 months old and hasn't been neutered yet (I am still debating whether to or not). Also, I thought male dogs are supposed to lift their legs when they go, but mine just sort of stretches out long ways and pees. Is this normal? |
Yep, that's marking. If he's not neutered, he probably eventually lift his leg to go. I notice Trace marking outside but he's neutered and doesn't lift his leg. If they start marking inside, then it can be a problem, and if they're lifting that leg....that could mean "marking" the couch. |
Sounds like marking to me. Some dogs dont lift their legs. If your not going to breed him I would definitely neuter him. There are so many health benefits plus it stops bad behavior. My male is neutered and the only time he marks is when we go to the vets office and he smells other dogs. |
I don't think I will be siring him off and I have seriously though about getting him neutered. I know there are health benefits but the thought of someone with a scalpel going near my baby frightens me (I'm nuts, I know). My fiance keeps telling me to leave him as is (one guy defending another) but I think in the end I will have to do it. How is their recovery time? Are they in a lot of pain afterwards? |
Yes , he is marking . |
My male came home that night and acted as if nothing ever happened. They are on pain medication when they come home but if they Are disoriented it is usually just for that night and they are back to normal by the next day. |
