Neighbor's dog leg lifted and urinated on a person

• ColleenC Posted : 10/4/2006 10:17:31 PM This has happened to me before, and it sucks!  The dog was very well socialized, loved people, and was very well house-trained.  I was actually training him in agility(which he wasn't very good at) for the breeder I work with.  He was one of our most social dogs!  I think the main problem was that he was a very dominant dog.  I say was because he is now at a different home.  He was a sweet dog, but he and I clashed.  I was the ONLY one he ever peed on, and he did it a few times. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• mudpuppy Posted : 10/5/2006 2:09:04 PM I've seen a number of very-well-socialized dogs come to the dog park and pee on people-- it looks like marking behavior. Sometimes it looked like the dog was trying to mark something else like a chair, and the human just got in the way, other times it looked deliberate, the dog sniffed the shoes and felt the need to mark. Maybe the person had walked through dog pee recently? who knows.   I've also seen a lot of dogs get peed on by other dogs, usually seemed to be because the dogs really don't care if they get pee on themselves or others. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Ruth Posted : 10/5/2006 2:31:00 PM My dog is an indoor dog who is socialized, but he is a marker.  He was neutered at 8 mos when I adopted him and the behavior already was well-ingrained.  I've never seen him pee on a person as a primary target (thank goodness), but I've seen him start to lift his leg over a camping chair.  Luckily I redirected him.  When I got him he also loved to mark the wheels of  trucks and SUVs but he has now learned that is not OK.  He is perfectly happy to pee on other dogs and let them pee on him.  He even pees on (and sometimes into) his own doghouse!  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Xerxes Posted : 10/6/2006 12:03:20 PM The dog does not need to know anything about humans or not, if a dog does that is a clear sign that the dog does not have respect for that person in particular   This has nothing to do with respect.  The person's leg obviously had a scent that triggered a marking response.    I've seen dogs mark another dog's poop, even marking another dog.  It only has to do with a marking response.  It's not hatred, ill-will or anything else. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
