A collection of problems related to male dog peeing
There is a difference between men and women, and this happens to dogs. It is easy for humans to distinguish between men and women. Is it difficult for dogs to say? Many times we think that dogs of the same breed actually look the same, not to mention male and female, but it is actually very easy to distinguish when adult dogs pee. Male dogs pee will raise one leg high, while female dogs pee by squat down their butts. But did male dogs pee like this at the beginning? Why did male dogs pee like this? Let’s take a look!
How old are boys usually starting to pee with one leg raised?
When dogs are young, their peeing postures are the same. When they start running all over the floor, parents cannot distinguish whether they are boys or girls from their peeing postures. The puppies squat down their hind legs, let their butts approach the ground, and then pee. There are differences between individuals in the month when male dogs start to lift one leg to pee. Most of them will slowly learn to lift one leg to pee ten months ago. In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is learned. It seems that this does not require other dogs to teach or special training. Male dogs lift their legs and pee is a natural nature. I feel it is similar to the natural reaction of human physiological maturity. It is precisely because this is a natural reaction that there is no element of large dogs teaching by example and artificial training, so some male dogs never raise one leg to pee.
There are many interesting legends, such as a bitch who peed in an inappropriate time and was hit by a thunderbolt struck the tree and killed him. After seeing this, the male dog would pee with one leg against the tree every time he peed. There is another saying that one of the legs of male dogs is made of mud, so they must be lifted up when peeing to avoid wetting, etc. These are all legends, just fun to hear.
As for why male dogs raise their legs and urinate? In fact, this is a physiological reaction of sexual maturity. The male dog instinctively wants to attract more bitches and occupy a larger territory through urine. The physiological structure of the male dog allows it to urinate higher only by lifting one leg and urinate to a more conspicuous position. Over time, the male dog forms this habit. Of course, this is just my personal analysis and has not been scientifically verified.
What should I do if a male dog doesn't raise his legs and pee?
If your male dog doesn't raise his legs and pee, you should first take him to the hospital for a checkup. Is it because of physical reasons that the dog cannot lift the leg, such as hip joint problems, hind leg elbow joint problems, or lumbar spine problems, which may cause the dog to want to raise his legs and pee, but it hurts when he lifts it, so he has to give up. In our opinion, it may be that the dog never raises his legs and pee. If the possibility of getting sick is ruled out, if the dog still doesn't raise his legs and pee when he is over one year old, then I don't think so, just let it go, after all, as long as the dog is healthy, it's good.
