Both of my males squat when peeing, but one of them lifts there leg to go when we are out on walks. I remarked to my husband a while ago that the dog was peeing like a sissy, and he told me about a dog he had when he was a kid who would squat. He told me he taught him how to pee by lifting his leg for him (like Connie said), and also crawling around on all fours demonstrating <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> (with is pants on! I asked <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> lol I couldn't get him to teach Tigger to pee like a male dog should, but he does out on walks at least so nobody sees how he usually does it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> lol funny topic! He used to pee on his paw too, but he stopped that... after about a year of pee paw <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Would it be possible to get him to pee on things uphill so at least he's not peeing on himself? I had a female chihuahua who was the most dominant dog you ever met. Deemed "unadoptable" by animal control, actually had a "CUJO-DO NOT TOUCH!!!" sign on her cage when I bailed her out! Anyway, the point is that she would actually do a FULL HANDSTAND to pee, as in totally vertical, upside down. So guess where the pee went? I got only let her pee up/down a hill so it hit the ground before hitting her. At a year, I wouldn't worry about this being permanent yet. Actually, if he didn't pee on his own legs, I wouldn't worry about it at all!

I think people worry too much about this. They should be concerned with training.
I don't know... I can understand why someone wouldn't want their dog to track pee in their house on a daily basis.
My male GSD does this. I try to get him to pee on things like bushes, signs, fence posts, etc. When he has a target, he lifts his leg and his foot/ankle/leg stay dry. When he pees by himself outside, he pees all over his foot. When that happens, I either clean it up or leave him on the porch for an hour or so. That way, he has time to lay down and clean it up on his own.
I have a theory that some of this is caused by breeding dogs for that over-angulated appearance that Showline GSD's are so well known for. I could be wrong. Certainly wouldn't be the first time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Ryan, I'm pretty sure Ed meant people shouldn't worry about lifting the leg in general, not that people should just let dogs pee all over themselves and bring it in the house. I guess I lucked out if there are that many dogs out there who pee on their own feet!
Life is way to short to worry about how a dog pees. Tie a 1lb weight on the end of his plumbing. That should keep him from peeing on his front feet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> JKN of course! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Some dogs just don't do it.
If all else fails Greg, I'll let your dog watch my bitch to see how it's done. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> JK
Seriously though I wouldnt worry. It may or may not happen. MY Justice did'nt mark until he was over 2 years old.
The only downfall is the mess. Maybe get those disposable pet wipes in the mean time to make it easier (they are usually scented a little too). Just an idea....I dont know how bad he gets himself.

Thank you all for your input ... ordinarily I wouldn't care at all about something as trivial as how a dog pees; however, I'm really not a big "dog pee smell" fan.
