I know that sounds backwards but Harry pees on his front legs because he's neutered and he only barely lifts his back leg when he pees. It aims his pee right at his front leg and it gets drenched and it's gross.

Ugh I neutered mine a little after he was a year. He only half lifts it. I'm thinking that they should not be neutered until they learn to lift it all the way.

No dog parks here.

On walks I'm not going to let him pee on other people's things. Where I live we don't have a lot of trees that are just available at parks and things for walks, open fields though. We live in south Texas so lots of palm trees, not a lot of wooded areas. I have a really good idea though. The owner of the store where my husband works has a great dane boy that lifts his leg up even though he's neutered. He'd pee up high being a great dane so my boy would have to mark way up to reach it. I think it's high time they met.

Neutering after the dog already lifts the leg helps. If you neuter before they never learn to do it.

Oh gosh that's so gross.LOL

Funny you say that, I was talking to someone about it, a groomer. She said that squareness will make the dog hit the leg because the back is shorter. He's pretty square so there's not much I can do in that department other than buy the covers and keep them on him when he goes out to potty and wash them.
