Really??? We're actually worrying about "why" ? Correct the dog and move on. Peeing on my leg is peeing on my leg, I don't care if he thinks he's putting out a fire!
Mike....I totally agree. "Why?" in that type of situation does not really matter....

LOL My dog marked one once (that was when I just got him)...I still have to watch him around guests. I don't let him around strangers but even the people that I let him around, he still wants to piss on them. Every time I see him start to sniff there leg I have to verbally remind him not to do that.
A tired dog is a good dog, a trained dog is a better dog.

Well said!

You know, I didnt think about it in any way other than just another training issue. Not wanting the dog to pee in the ring or on you. Maybe because I was looking at it from what I've done from showing dogs and having a dog only pee when released or on command.
He got me twice and I corrected him the third time he tried (not all on the same night). It's not like I was standing there letting him do this to me and wondering: "hmmm, I wonder why is he peeing on me right now, that's weird?" I'm only wondering "why" because I was curious about the behavior itself (as mentioned earlier about "claiming" and pack structure and all). I understand it was my fault for not correcting it the first (and second) time, he's just so tiny that I didn't notice it or feel it at the time, just later saw a few tinkle marks around my ankle and couldn't correct him for it then (as it was too late for him to make the association). Hopefully, I only needed to make that one correction for him to stop, but I am still paranoid, and again that's why I brought this up.
all i can add is that i hope your "one correction" works. i really truly believe in positive marker training, but, as old as i am, this one would probab--no, absolutely, result in a, what d'ya call it?..."foot in the closest part of the dog"??
not "compulsion" but perhaps "negative reinforcement"??
